Beautiful work on my cupcake decorating course! Avril came back to do my cupcake decorating course as she wanted to work on those piping skills a bit more, and learn some new techniques. We covered not only some more piping, but also how to create a domed cupcake using fondant, stencilling for beginners, and a quick look at working with flower paste to make pretty sugar flowers to decorate her cakes. She came away with 12 gorgeous cakes to enjoy.

Fancy having a go yourself? Pop onto the website and have a look at cupcake decorating and the other courses I offer. Link in my bio!

Back to the stunning for S&S’s big day! Decorated with a sugar draped in burnt orange to match their table details, and trailing sugar foliage to complement their foliage only arrangements, their cake was a wonderful start to my 2026 weddings.

A massive thank you to A&L for sharing these gorgeous photos by of their wedding cake from October

I’m still swooning over their pearl details, gold touches, and delicate sage tones!

Making your wedding cake was such a joy! Thank you for asking me to be part of your Big Day!

Fabulous work by Avril as she completed my buttercream and introduction to piping skills course! We used vanilla and chocolate buttercream to decorate her cake. Together we covered stacking and filling, crumb coats, top coats and how to get a clean finish. Then looked at some basic piping skills to decorate.

You did fabulously! I hope you have got a bit more confidence to decorate your own cakes, and pick up that piping bag!

If anyone is interested in booking on one of my private decorating courses, pop over to the website to see what I offer!

✨✨IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT✨✨

Howdy folks! 👋
Sorry for the radio silence — it’s been a busy one behind the scenes.

After a lot of thought (and juggling life and family), I’ve decided that I’ll no longer be accepting new cake orders for the foreseeable future. Running the business alongside everything else has become increasingly tricky, and this feels like the right time for a change.

That said — I’m not disappearing! 🎂✨
All existing orders will of course be fully honoured, and I’ve already been in touch with everyone booked in. I also still have several weddings throughout the year and fully intend to go out on a high, with the same 100% dedication and love for my craft.

I’m also really excited to say that I’ll continue offering one-to-one and small group cake decorating classes at weekends. So if you’d like to sharpen your skills or learn something new, head over to the website to find the option that suits you best.

When I first started this business, I had two small children at home and needed flexibility — something this job gave me in spades. Watching it grow from simple birthday cakes to complex wedding designs and becoming a recommended supplier for some truly incredible wedding venues across Sussex has been an absolute privilege. I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve built from scratch.

This next chapter means moving in a new direction, working for a cause I truly believe in, and spending a little more time with my family — all very good things ❤️

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your support, kindness and trust over the years. I’ll still be around sharing what I’m up to and celebrating the amazing work my cake decorating students are creating, though you may see a bit less of me now that marketing is officially off the to-do list!

Thank you for being the most wonderful clients, friends and colleagues I could ever have hoped for.

Looking back on the last year I’m reminded of how far my little business has come. It’s been a rollercoaster, not gonna lie, and there have been some definite set-backs, but that doesn’t mean I’m not proud of where I’ve got to.

💫 I’ve been added as a preferred supplier to 2 new incredibly beautiful venues

💫 I’ve enjoyed a year with the award of ‘Highly Commended’ by The Wedding Industry Awards

💫 I’ve participated in several photo shoots with both my cookies and cakes

💫 I’ve worked with some amazing suppliers to help create the day dreams are made of for incredible couples

💫 I’ve started my Events business with small group classes and parties

💫 I’m offering one to one sessions for baking, and decorating cakes and cupcakes

💫 And above all, I’ve worked with some fan-bloody-tastic couples! Honestly, my couples for 2025 have been a delight!

I really love what I do, and the people I work with, and to all of you, whether you have bought from me, commented, liked or even shared my posts, or even mentioned me to your friends, THANK YOU! None of this would have been possible without you!

Here are some of my top favourites from 2025. Is yours on there?

THANK YOU!

The last delivery is done, the last cookie baked, and I am all done for Christmas!

Thank you to each and every one of you who placed an order for Christmas treats this year, and a really big shout out to the fabulous folk who joined me on one of my courses this December!

I know pennies are tight this year, so I am particularly grateful for every order from folk who ‘shopped local’. It makes such a difference to small businesses and I am so blessed that you chose to buy from me!

I’ll be planning my courses for next year in the new year, so if there’s something in particular you’d like to do, or a new skill you’d like me to teach you, please let me know!

In the mean time though, this is me signing off for a few days of chilling with the family.

Wishing you all the happiest Christmas!

Carrie xx
