Each cake is made with love and care and has their own personality, we tailor make the cakes to your specification, they tell a story and they can express you as the customer.

Weddings

Wedding cakes provide the ultimate platform for individual impression and they vary greatly from one person to another. In order to do justice with the craft, it is highly necessary to have individual consultation. So please contact me with your requirements so that we can price it for you. We can incorporate colours to match your theme, flowers to match your bouquet even the bride and groom toppers made from quality fondant can be matched to the bride and groom.

Cupcakes or Cookie favours can be ordered at the same time at a reduced cost.
Christenings

Having your child dedicated is a very special and personal experience, we can be as elaborate or as simple as your like, classic or fun, if you order cupcakes with these we can offer a discount.

Cupcakes

You can select as many flavours as you wish and minimum order is for 12 per flavour.
Cupcakes can be boxed individually as favours or in a clear dome pods at added additional cost.

We may offer discounts on your cupcakes if you book your wedding cake with us.

All domed cupcakes are filled with generous amount of buttercream and topped with fondant colour of your choice. The decorations range from stenciling, embossing, piping to detailed floral art work.

Birthdays

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Cakes - not the type you purchase in a supermarket, but freshly baked with fondant and decorations hand made individually not factory made.

Character Cakes

If you have a favourite character, want something individual. Want the cake to show a hobby, we can tailor the cake to your need, we love a challenge, obviously the more extravogant the more pricey the cake becomes, but we still aim to keep the prices competitive whilst still giving a delicious taste to the cake.

Deposit and Delivery

50% deposit required on all cakes and full payment is required on the day.
Delivery charges will apply if out of Colchester
