Our Story
I am a Mum who enjoys making wedding and celebration cakes and would love to make one for you! What ever the occasion, I can make your cake or cupcakes - weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, Christenings, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas, Corporate events or 'just because'.....
All my cakes are freshly made to order from scratch using quality ingredients; NO packet mixes or pre-frozen cakes here!
Depending on the exact requirements, cakes made using recipes that address special dietary requests or suitable for intolerances may be available and are priced per order. I am happy to discuss potential options for Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Vegan, 100% natural colours only, unrefined sugars, etc; if you have other special dietary requirements, please do ask and I will assist you where possible. If your special dietary requirement is more than an intolerance, ie is an allergy, eg nuts, regrettably I cannot assist you. This is due to my kitchen being a general purpose, domestic kitchen, using all notifiable allergens, so whilst I do my utmost, cross-contamination is possible and therefore, regrettably, is not suitable for anyone with requirements more than an intolerance including all allergies.
My kitchen is registered and Environmental Health Inspected ‘5’ (maximum) rated.
I am fully insured and hold a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate, and have completed the FSA Food Allergy training, too.

GUIDE PRICES:
My minimum order value is £100. My most popular, Madagascan vanilla sponge cake is 4 layers deep, Madagascan vanilla buttercream filled (3 layers), sugarpaste covered, on a sugarpaste covered cake drum edged with ribbon in a cake transportation box. (An 8" round cake has a finished depth of around 4" and feeds around 24 people based on portions of 1"x2") Prices vary depending on number of portions, flavour, decoration and design.
Cupcakes: in multiples of 12 (design can vary for each cupcake) are from £2 each in vanilla, rising to £7 each, depending on design and decoration. All cupcakes are presented in cupcake transportation boxes and can be baked in colour co-ordinating cupcake cases.
A long list of other flavours are available including chocolate, coffee, orange, lemon, carrot, Baileys, Prosecco, white chocolate and raspberry, heavy fruit cake and all attract a supplement to cover the additional costs. (The full list is on my website JansCakesHertfordshire.co.uk)
****************************************************
All my cake decorations are hand crafted by me. My cakes are professionally presented and packaged safely in boxes specifically designed for the cakes or cupcakes. I do not accept any responsibility once your order has left my care. Due to the delicate nature of decorated cakes and cupcakes, care and attention must be taken when transporting/moving them as refunds will not apply.
If you would like a bespoke cake or cupcakes please contact me on [email protected] or 07780 677995 and I will be very happy to help you.
PLEASE NOTE: If you enquire about a cake or cupcakes, it remains an enquiry until I have received your 50% (non-refundable) retainer fee. It does not go in the diary as an order until I have received your retainer fee payment. My full terms and conditions can be found at JansCakesHertfordshire.co.uk
For those of you who are curious about how I came to this profession, just for personal interest, I went on a cupcake decorating course run by the wonderful Shereen from https://www.facebook.com/shereenscakesandbakeslowerstondon at the end of 2011 where she unlocked my hitherto hidden artistic side! The rest, as they say, is history!
Thank you for reading to the end! Jan
