Yeehaw! 🤠🎂

Take a look at this custom cowboy-themed beauty!

I am officially living vicariously through this birthday girl—she is heading off to the Calgary Stampede, so a rustic, wild-west design was absolutely mandatory for her big celebration! (And yes, I am incredibly jealous! 🇨🇦✈️)

From the edible retro cowgirl graphics and wagon wheel details to that perfect little Stetson topper, this heart-shaped 30th birthday cake was such a blast to create. I loved it!

Wishing her the absolute best time ever at the Stampede!

(‘Pink Pony club’ has been stuck in my head the whole time making this) 💕🐴

It was an absolute pleasure creating this custom Harley-Davidson cake for Pat & Nick’s milestone 60th birthday!

Combining those classic biker vibes with crisp colour blocking, textured gold edges, and a mirror-gold topper made for a truly striking finish. 🏍️ 🪽

A massive happy 60th birthday to Pat & Nick—I hope you both had an incredible day celebrating and thank you for asking me to create this for you! Xx

Celebrating 30 Years of Love!

I had the absolute pleasure of creating this elegant piece for Graham and Jo-Anne's Pearl Anniversary! 💕

To honor their 30th milestone, the design features delicate, shimmering pearls, beautifully paired with fresh pink roses, eucalyptus, and matching macarons.

But the real magic is on the inside! Because the happy couple absolutely love Dubai, we went with a decadent chocolate and pistachio flavor combination—a little taste of luxury to celebrate three decades together.

Happy Pearl Anniversary to Graham and Jo-Anne!
Here's to many more sweet years ahead. 🥂

What happens in Vegas... makes for a brilliant surprise cake back home! 🎰 🎲

Huge congratulations to Mr and Mrs Cowan! It was so wonderful to hear how happy your family was with the surprise 💕

I wish you both a world full of happiness xx

A Very Special Thank You 💕

It's easy to pick up a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates, but sometimes you just want to say thank you with something made from the heart.

This cake was made for the wonderful Year 11 team at Boston Spa Academy.

Over the last few months, they have provided the most incredible, unwavering support for my daughter while we have been navigating a difficult time.

With GCSEs currently underway, I knew the team would be working tirelessly and definitely running on fumes, so a major sugar ‘pick-me-up’ felt like the perfect way to show our appreciation!

To every teacher, head of year, and support staff member who goes above and beyond to look after our children's wellbeing as well as their education: thank you for being our safety net.

You make a bigger difference than you will ever know and we are forever grateful 💕💕

And for those that are currently undertaking their GCSES….you got this, in a few more days you are half way there x

There is nothing more rewarding in this business than watching a family grow.

I had the absolute honor of creating the wedding cake for Olivia’s parents, followed by her baby shower cake, and now I can’t believe it’s already time for her very first birthday!

This two-tier design features soft pink gingham, lace ruffles , and a sweet little elephant topper (Birthday girls favourite animal) to celebrate Olivia’s first birthday! 🐘

Thank you for letting me be a small part of your family’s biggest moments and a very happy first birthday to Olivia 💕💕

For this beautiful couple, who are set to say "I do" later this year in the very beautiful Tuscany, the bride's mother wanted to gift for their legal ceremony which was this weekend.

She envisioned a cake that captured the essence of their upcoming celebration: simple, timeless, and effortlessly elegant.

We designed this heart-shaped creation on fondant and royal icing accented by a delicate touch of the sugar paste lilac hydrangeas to complement their wedding palette and their initials in the same style as their wedding invitation.

Congratulations to you both on your special day and I hope you have the most amazing time in Tuscany.

Ps….Please fly me over to Tuscany so I can create a cake for you there! 💕 🤣

I was recently asked to create this pilot-themed cake to celebrate Rhys’s 18th birthday, who is currently training to take to the skies. But while I was working on the details—the gold wings, the A380, and the little logbook—this project felt incredibly close to home.

As my dad’s 3-year anniversary approaches, I couldn’t help but think of him. He was a Captain with British Airways albeit on the 474-400’s, and seeing these symbols come together brought back so many proud memories of his career and travelling with him.

Being able to celebrate a new pilot’s journey while honoring my dad’s legacy made this a very meaningful cake. Wishing Rhys the very best in his training—remember to keep the blue side down! ☁️✨
