I have a lasting passion for baking and adore making celebration cakes. A few years ago a friend asked me to make her wedding cake, and I loved the whole process — my passion for cake making has grown from there since.
Every cake is bespoke; I’ll work closely with you to ensure it delivers on every level. While each design is unique, you’ll find seasonal fruit and flavourings running through the sponge and filling, finished with beautiful fresh flowers, foliage and fruit. I firmly believe in using ingredients when they’re at their seasonal best.
Here are a few examples of my work.

Testimonials:
“I already knew Louise through her wonderful sourdough workshops and was well aware of her exceptional baking talent, so there was no question who I would ask to create our celebration cake. We chose a blueberry, lime, and cardamom flavour, and it was absolutely delicious—light, fresh, and beautifully balanced. The cardamom added a distinctive touch that elevated the flavour to another level. The cake looked stunning, and many of our guests commented on how incredible it tasted. Thank you, Louise, for creating such a special cake for our day. I would not hesitate to recommend Nordic Kitchen Stories”
Louise Curtis
“Louise prepared and delivered the wedding cake of our dreams. A 3-tier cake with different flavours, iced in a classic style reflecting the aesthetic we had shared at the start of planning. The 3 flavours of cake were delicious – classic Victoria sponge, chocolate and raspberry and white chocolate and passion fruit. The cake was light and perfectly balanced. Louise kindly coordinated with our florist to ensure the floral arrangement was incorporated seamlessly on the final cake. We wish we could enjoy a cake like that on every special occasion! Thank you Louise”
Hannah Baker-Bungey
“Louise’s cake for our wedding was truly divine in both taste and appearance. She made the most delicious three-tiered pressed flower cake which couldn’t have been more perfect for the theme of the day. Our guests enjoyed the cake thoroughly; it’s flavours were clear but subtle. On the run up to the wedding, communication with Louise was seamless – she responded to all emails quickly and was endlessly patient with our indecisiveness! She so kindly delivered the cake on the day to keep it as fresh as possible and presented it beautifully. We cannot thank Louise enough for making such a special and incredible cake for our wedding day”
Sophie Bownass
“We could not have been happier with our wedding cake. We chose two flavours, blackberry and lemon and carrot and walnut for our September wedding. The taste was exquisite and so many of our guests commented on how delicious it was. The cake itself was more beautiful than we could ever have dreamed of and was such a special part of the day for us. Louise guided us from start to finish on taste, style and colour palettes to make sure it fitted with the vibe of the day and our flowers and decor. We could not have been happier with the result and will never forget it. Thank you Louise for the cake of our dreams ms- we can not thank you and recommend you enough!”

“Thank you Louise for making a perfect and delicious wedding cake for my daughter Louise and her husband Lee. It was exactly how she wanted it too, and was quite over whelmed when she saw it. I’d like to add that the way you delivered it to the venue, a long distance on a very hot day and set it up without us barely knowing you were there, was so professional. I knew I’d be able to rely on you completely and you rose to the occasion. Did I say it tasted so good too”?!
