Flours are organic and we prefer a range of heritage grains for maximum flavour. Butter is organic and our eggs are fresh and free range from local farmers. We use seasonal flavours and ingredients alongside our fresh floral decorations, inspired by the beach and country surroundings.

The third wedding of the week down and dusted and as ever, a gorge venue and lovely couples to work with! Not featured, an insomniac two year old, incoming duckling prep 🐣, half term shenanigans, melted butter and an awful lot of iced coffee!

Ahhh Hi there Friday! Baking cakes in this heat is no joke, but still cracking out some brilliant commissions! Shout out for this cake from the weekend (that legit nearly broke me ((my delivery driver and colleagues will attest 😆) for to celebrate their 5 MILLIONTH visitor! Woah! Thank god for dowel and walk in fridges… oh and a special shoutout to the ever patient and wonderful for her sterling job on railings. One of us (not me) was able to see the matrix of angles and ratios to recreate them!

It’s been a week of three weddings and a funeral on the big orders front, and a smattering of birthday and first anno cakes, amongst the cafe orders. But next up, market day tomorrow and there’s some mega treats for and end of May weekend blowout!

A cake to celebrate the end of this Mama’s breastfeeding journey! Can’t take credit for the inscription… excellent punmanship! 🐄😆

An absolutely brilliant commission this morning! Peter Rabbit and ruffles for Genie Mathilde’s birthday! Crowd pleaser vanilla with strawberry flavour, and the Kentish strawberries are making the filling so much more vibrant!

Happy weekending all!

Ahhh Spring flowers! Cute vintage heart cake for a birthday Momma. We originally designed these cakes to look like an old fashioned chocolate box, and look, you can never go wrong with a ribbon and floral combo in my book. Available to order via website 💐

Evening sunshine on this fave wedding cake style! Perfect for slicing (caterers everywhere are thanking the cake gods 😆) and makes the most amazing visual impact- big fan of the oblong cakes over here!

Summer Wedding season is officially go- whoop whoop! 💍🍰

Gather Wedding Fair: one of my favourite work weekends of the year; a weekend spent with the most talented creatives in the wedding industry against the backdrop of Margate beach. Beautifully curated as always by and her team and thankful to have been a part of it!

First wedding of the season and it’s one of our own! Our girl got hitched today to the lovely Tom and brought all the sunshine! Great taste on the flavour front too (I mean, she’d know!) with lemon elderflower base and tonka bean and black cherry top tier. All the love! 🩷❤️🧡💛

Spring evenings and the scent of hyacinths in the air. Finally some calm after a manic weekend of newly 9 year old’s birthday party, market, cafe cakes, private cakes and lots of cricket… every single on of them made better by sunshine!

Here’s a cake from the weekend; a personal favourite of Earl Grey, lavender and orange cake with a whipped mascarpone frosting. Funnily enough, excellent with a cup of tea on the side!
