Absolutely LOVE how this wedding cake came out 💖 such a beautiful colour scheme. We worked closely with the bride to bring her vision to life and how perfect does the cake look on the gorgeous wooden cake stand by MadeByJWLdesigns with a beautiful original cake topper chosen by the bride and made by TheWireBoutquebyH just setting off the whole look.

Top tier was a lemon sponge with buttercream and lemon curd 🍋 and the bottom tier was our delicious chocolate cake filled with milk chocolate buttercream 😋.

Bake, Hope and Glory would like to wish Aaron and Alice the biggest congratulations and thank you for trusting me to make such a special cake for you both 💙💖

Our number cakes are always a popular choice and I just love this pretzel and Oreo combination! Rich chocolate sponge with an Oreo buttercream filling decorated with pretzels, white chocolate bars and mini Oreo’s! Finished with personalised fondant plaques and a mountain of silky buttercream swirls and sprinkles!

What a fabulous way to celebrate landing a dream job aboard a Carnival cruise ship and a special birthday too! Lauren’s partner knew exactly what he wanted when he set the brief and with a few tweaks we hope we achieved just what he had in mind. 🌺

Loved the special quote he asked us to include, cut out from fondant and painted with edible gold plus an edible print of the ship on some buttercream waves. Tropical flowers and a musical nod to her being a singer and dancer! This cake had it all and Bake, Hope and glory would love to wish her well for such an amazing adventure!

Lauren is achieving her dreams and we are very privileged to have been able to help celebrate such a fabulous dream becoming a reality! 🛳️💃🎶

When the customer wants an F1 inspired cake, we can deliver! 🏁🏎️🏁🏎️🏁🏎️🏁🏎️

A fantastic cake topper by CakeToppersbyTracy really set this cake off as well as edible prints and the infamous chequered flag. With fondant tyres to help with the theme, we think this ticked all the boxes.. there’s no mistaking what this cake was about!

Our giant cookies are always popular but this has to be one of my favourites! Customer wanted a cookie to celebrate leaving an old job and rewarded her colleagues with this cheeky treat! Even cheekier… note the tiny acorns, she’s off to work for Acorn estate agents! Hope they all enjoyed the cookie and saw the funny side! 🤣🤣🤣

Have you seen our treat boxes?! Jammed full of lovely bakes, perfect as a gift for that special occasion and can be fully personalised!

Perfect for birthdays, Father’s Day, graduation, congratulations or pretty much anything that you want! How about a larger box for that boring business/staff meeting?!

Available in a large or smaller size… although the smaller is not really that small! The perfect gift with a little bit of everything 😋

As always, just drop me a message to get one ordered! You won’t be disappointed!

Football cakes are always a bit controversial in our house of Liverpool and Arsenal fans but luckily I make the decisions about what to bake so always happy to have a football team cake order! Always fun cakes to make and with the added luxury of some edible gold leaf, this one came out just how the customer wanted 💚💚💚

This was such a fun one to make! I felt the pressure though as the customer wanted a shortbread cake that their grandma used to make… a recipe from nostalgia and memory only 🥰 so privileged to make this and whilst I doubt it was as good as grandma’s, I hope it came a close second 🥰
