I was over the moon to receive this order from a returning customer.

It was a very meaningful order, about a new beginning for my customer, & the creativity needed to create Tje Hobbits BagEnd house in cake form fired me up!

The challenge was to raise up the house so that there was enough cake area to decorate, in line with the garden cake. I doubled up cake drums & that worked well.

Bag End & the garden are vanilla with salted caramel, the cute cupcakes are coffee vanilla latte, and vanilla Biscoff.

With little sticks in the swords, they’re best for fighting, not eating! 😮

Loved making this one, it’s on the list with my favourites. Bronwyn, a complete honour 😘

Luxurious romantic red for my lovely customer’s in-laws 40th wedding anniversary celebration.

A ruby wedding is a rare occasion these days & deserves huge congratulations & cake!

The bouquet is a 50/50 mix of vanilla with strawberry jam filling, and red velvet with vanilla buttercream. Perfect choices for a red bouquet.

Some lovely feedback came a few days later “Hi Sara,
I just wanted to thank you again for another amazing cake. They went down very well and T and T were so happy with them 😊 The red velvet was very popular 👍”

It’s always a pleasure to bake for people who love cake 🥰

In order to get a decent deep red, there’s only one product for me Sugarflair Red Extra from

This cake celebrates the legend that is and the underwater world he lives in.
tite wanted a fun cake to help celebrate her 20th & thankfully it went down a storm. It was all kinds of Oreo cookie yumminess inside.

Thanks Stephanie for your support & enthusiasm for my small business. I look forward to baking for you again.

What an achievement, graduating as a Royal Marine Commando!

Cam’s parents, quite rightly, were very proud of his accomplishment.

They ordered a Guinness chocolate for his passing out party. I was able to personalise it for him to make that bit more special.

The feedback I received was just lovely:
“His party was fantastic, Your cake really was the icing on the cake. Everyone was blown away with the design and Cam was very reluctant to cut into it but he did and it was delicious!”

Thank you for your service Cam, & best wishes for an exciting career.
