A little bit behind the face of Pretty Bakes by Marie. 💕

If you have a sweet tooth and love cake, then we’re already friends! 🍰

If you’re new to this page, hi 👋 I’m Marie and I specialise in creating bespoke celebration and wedding cakes in and around West Sussex, that taste as good as they look.

But there’s a lot more to me than buttercream, cake tins and piping bags! 😂 So I thought it was about time I shared a few fun facts and let you get to know the person behind Pretty Bakes by Marie.

Some you might already know… and some might surprise you! 👀

Because while I love creating beautiful cakes, I think the best part of having a small business is the people behind it – getting to know my customers, hearing their stories and being trusted to create something special for their celebrations. ❤️

So, now you know a little more about me, I’d love to know something about you!

**Tell me a fun fact about yourself in the comments 👇** And if we have something in common, even better! 🥰

Not everyone dreams of a birthday cake… and that’s absolutely fine! 🤎✨

Earlier this year, I made these two brownie stacks for two very special 21st birthdays — Isobel and Eva.

Neither girl is particularly keen on cake, so I suggested my popular brownies stacked up into a show-stopping birthday tower instead. And honestly… I think they make a pretty fabulous alternative! 😍

My brownies are made with Belgian dark chocolate and finished with a silky milk chocolate ganache before being decorated with each birthday girl’s favourite treats.

🤎 Isobel chose Ferrero Rocher
🤎 Eva chose Kinder Bueno

Both were finished with gold metallic chocolate balls, white chocolate geometric hearts and a personalised glitter topper to make them completely their own. ✨

I love that something like a birthday cake can be so personal, and it’s always incredibly special to be trusted to create something for such an important milestone. Being a small part of someone’s 21st birthday celebrations is such an honour. 🥰

And if you’re not really a cake person, why should you miss out on an amazing birthday centrepiece?

✨ A brownie tower is a fun, indulgent and VERY tasty alternative — and it can be personalised with your favourite chocolates, sweets and colours to make it completely unique to you.

Would you choose brownies over cake for your next milestone birthday? 🤎

If you’re planning a special celebration and think a brownie tower might be just the thing, get in touch — I’d love to create one for you!

One of the most rewarding parts of creating wedding cakes is hearing from my couples after their special day. 🤍

Knowing that they loved their cake, that it looked just as they'd imagined, and that their guests enjoyed every slice means more to me than I can put into words.

Being trusted to create a centrepiece for one of the most important days of a couple's lives is such a privilege, and it's an honour to play a small part in so many wonderful celebrations.

To every couple who has chosen me to create their wedding cake and taken the time to share such kind words afterwards - thank you. It truly means the world. 🤍

💍 If you're planning your wedding and would love a bespoke wedding cake that's designed just for you, I'd be delighted to hear all about your plans. Get in touch via DM or through my website (link in bio) to start creating your dream wedding cake together.

🤍 Creating a wedding cake is about so much more than baking.

It starts with meeting my couples and hearing all about their plans. There's something really special about seeing their excitement as they talk about their venue, colour scheme, flowers and all the little details they've been dreaming about.

Then comes the creative process… bringing all those ideas together to develop a design concept that's completely unique to them. ✨

And, of course, there's the cake tasting! Preparing those little boxes of cake samples and discovering which flavours make the final cut is such a delicious part of the process. 🍰

Then it's time to bring the design to life.

The structure and technicality of a 2 or 3-tier cake is one of my favourite challenges. Starting with a blank canvas and gradually building the design, adding all those carefully considered details, while keeping my couple and their vision at the heart of every decision.

And then… wedding day! 💍

Arriving at the venue and seeing everything coming together is such a special moment. While the other suppliers are busy putting the finishing touches to the day, I get to create my own little workspace and carefully assemble the cake until I'm completely happy with the final look.

But perhaps the best part comes afterwards.

Hearing from my couples after their special day, finding out how much they enjoyed their cake and that their guests loved the flavours too, makes all the planning, baking and decorating worthwhile. ❤️

It's such a privilege to create something that becomes part of one of the biggest days of someone's life, and I'm incredibly grateful to every couple who trusts me to be part of their wedding day.

I really enjoyed making these little cuties as cupcake toppers for a recent birthday celebration 🩷

We used real marshmallows for their bodies, piped their sweet little faces with icing and added their tiny legs with fondant. They looked so cute perched on a bed of creamy vanilla buttercream, piped in a soft ombré from pink to white 🩷🤍

Such a fun way to bring a favourite character to life in cake form! 🧁

I’ve always loved creating Lambeth-style cakes, so I was so excited when Elle asked me to make one for her birthday.

She chose a gorgeous colour palette of coffee, chocolate and cream, finished with 8 gold candles to mark the occasion. As she was expecting around 50 guests, we opted for a square cake to make portioning nice and easy without compromising on style.

To bring her vision to life, I invested in some new specialist piping nozzles so I could create the beautiful ruffles and intricate details that make Lambeth cakes so timeless. I finished the design with metallic gold balls from for an extra touch of elegance.

The cake was delivered to , and the best part? Hearing afterwards that her guests thought it was absolutely delicious. There really isn’t a better compliment. 💛

Now I’m curious… how many different piping nozzle designs can you spot on this cake? Let me know your guess in the comments! 👇

Love the timeless elegance of Lambeth cakes? I’d love to design one that’s completely bespoke to your celebration. Send me a message to start planning yours.
