My Story

Hi!

My journey to starting this business began thirty years ago when I first wanted to make my children’s birthday cakes. While my early attempts were certainly not Bake Off showstoppers, I loved watching my children’s faces light up as they got to see that year’s offering. Over the years I’ve gradually refined my skills and techniques in the kitchen and as a result my family’s cakes have become more and more elaborate!

I’ve also turned my hand to wedding cakes, anniversary cakes, and even the odd divorce cake (because for all events in life, you need a good cake!). I love devising new flavour combinations and reimagining the latest cake trends in my own signature style. From birthdays and weddings to parties and major milestones, I love making cakes because they often play a significant part in our most treasured memories with family and friends. For me, nothing beats the feeling of seeing people’s expressions when you present them with the cake of their dreams.

Thanks so much for visiting my website, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Heidi made a cake for my friends 30th. Not only did it look amazing it was the most delicious cake I think Iv ever had! I gave Heidi the Colour scheme of the party and a cake design and she made it exactly how we imagined. Honestly was so delicious, some beautiful cakes are so dry but this was all round amazing. Thank you so much Heidi!

It was truly beautiful and we all very much enjoyed it!
Not only was the cake amazing (in looks and taste) Heidi herself, was so super lovely, helpful and all round just wonderful! ❤️

” Often decorative cakes look great but are not very tasty.  Heidi’s cakes however not only look amazing but they’re truly delicious too.   I received a Mary Poppins cake which was practically perfect!”

Hi Heidi,

I just wanted to email from both Tom and myself a huge thankyou for the most amazing wedding cake EVER!! And for coming to set it up. We had so many people comment on how delicious it was especially the hazelnut praline one!! It also looked absolutely stunning! We had just the best day, just so sad it’s all over now but I have some cake left which I’ll be eating this week haha!!

I’ve attached a few photos some friends have sent me but as soon as I get the photographer pictures I’ll send them over.

Love Lou and Tom xx

“I have been fortunate to have been on the receiving end of many of Heidi’s amazing cakes & treats. She is able to turn her hand to very creative & delicious multi layered cakes for any birthday cake theme that her customers’ request, from Elvis to Harry Potter!

When Heidi said she had made some macaroons, I doubted that they could beat the famous Laduree macaroons that I’d once tasted in Paris. I was wrong! Heidi’s macaroons were the lightest, creamiest & tastiest I’d ever had!

What I think is key to Heidi’s amazing creations is how much she loves what she does and how much she enjoys creating these masterpieces. She sources the best ingredients and baking utensils and equipment & is well known for working to the early hours of the morning to ensure that her cakes are timed and baked to perfection. This passion and dedication results in delicious baked treats every time!”

When we first spoke to Heidi about our wedding cake, the only detail that was fixed for the day was the location by the sea. Heidi took that detail and created not just a cake, but an artwork! To this day, we can say that we have never seen such a stunning wedding cake – and it was absolutely delicious, meaning it was eaten in what must have been record speed. Heidi is a magician when it comes to baking, and we could not recommend her enough!

Heidi’s cakes are the birthday present I look forward to most each year. They look stunning and taste amazing. I always take some into work for my colleagues and they all look forward to my birthday as much as I do now!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for my daughter’s lovely cake.  Everyone thought it looked amazing …. And tasted even better! In fact I’d go so far as to say it was the best chocolate cake I’ve ever eaten!

Thank you! X
