Yoga and wellbeing are both a very large parts of my personal life and I often attend retreats myself. One of the key things I have found is being well nourished whilst you are either doing physical activities or self development workshops. Which is why I offer wholesome, home cooked food to compliment your retreat. 🧘🏼‍♀️ ☮️ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I first attended a retreat 6 years ago now and 6 months later I was invited back to the same retreat but to assist the facilitators hold space for the women who were attending. Since then I have hosted 3 of my own retreats (1 day retreat and 2 full weekend residential), I have catered for 4 full weekend retreats and I have further assisted on another 3 female only retreats.⁣ 👩‍❤️‍👩⁣
⁣⁣
In 2022 I have 2 residential retreats that I am personally hosting (Self Love Sleepover) and a number of other yoga, self development and mindfulness retreats that I am providing full board catering for.⁣🍴⁣
⁣⁣
As part of my service, I will hold space for your retreat attendees, I will do the meal planning, shopping, meal preparing & dishing up. Each dish that I will create will be plant based predominantly gluten free - don’t worry this doesn’t mean all salads - your guests will be nourished with each meal and will leave fully fuelled for your retreat activities.⁣🍛⁣
⁣⁣
Each meal is served buffet style so that your guests can decide how much they wish to eat with zero pressure at each meal. I will always make sure that there is plenty to go around. 🥦⁣
⁣
If you have a retreat planned or are thinking of running a retreat and need someone to make the food - head over to my retreat catering page and fill out an enquiry form! 💻

I don’t remember the last time I did one of these posts, so I thought I’d introduce myself to all the new people who have started following me over the last - ooh, probably year or so now!

As you’ve probably guessed - I’m Toyah & I bake speciality celebration cakes!

The reason why they’re that extra bit special is because everything I make is free from dairy and eggs! Which means they are suitable for a lot of people 🤍

I focus on creating the most delicious cakes that you wouldn’t know has things in there to replace some of the most classic ingredients for a cake (eggs and butter!).. And I do it as I believe cake should be enjoyed by all - so I do my best to give a few more people a chance to eat it!

Outside of being a baker, I also wear a few other hats! I’m a website designer over at and I’m an assistant ops manager at … some would say I’m kept busy 😅

I don’t just work though, I promise I have a-lot of fun too! At least once a week you are very likely to find me at my amazing local or hanging out at down in ironbridge!

In the summer, I spend most weekends on a beach in Wales & getting as much fresh air as possible! Then by winter, it’s wrapping up warm for a long walk followed by a home cooked Sunday roast (famous amongst our friends and family!)

I also thought I’d steal this chance to show off my new do, created by the fab last weekend! 💋

Being able to create cakes that become part of a special memory is one of the absolute highlights of my job!

Even if that special memory is “just because I fancied cake”..

In this case however, the cake was part of my nieces Christening celebration at sat upon the grazing table .kitchen created! 🥰
