Bespoke Cakes To Order

Louise has an everlasting passion for baking and adores making celebration cakes. A few years ago she was asked to make a friend’s wedding cake and loved the whole process – her passion for cake making has grown from there.

All cakes are designed as bespoke, Louise will work closely with you to ensure it delivers on every level. While each cake is unique, you’ll find seasonal fruit and flavourings in each sponge and filling and decorated with beautiful fresh flowers, foliage and fruit. Louise is a firm believer in using ingredients when they are at their seasonal best.

Here you’ll find a few examples of her work.

1. Red velvet cake for Evie. This is an all-time classic and a firm favourite with a few of my clients.  Coated with Swiss meringue buttercream and a vanilla cream cheese frosting fills the cake.

2. Two examples of chocolate cake, on the left is double chocolate cake, pure indulgence, decorated with chocolate curls. On the right Swiss meringue vanilla buttercream a decorated with chocolate curls.

3.  Cleo’s mummy left the design up to me but requested her favourite cake, carrot, for Cleo’s Christening, filled with orange scented cream cheese and decorated with edible flowers.

For Cleo’s 1st Birthday I made a Raspberry and Sicilian lemon cake, the buttercream is flavoured with freeze dried raspberry powder which gives it the prettiest shade of pink.

4.  Martin and Claire commissioned their wedding cake well in advance, initially they wanted a fondant cake but over time and research decided on a semi-naked cake.  Their wedding was in November so theywanted a cake to reflect late autumn.  Vanilla sponge filled with homemade blackberry conserve and white chocolate ganache, dried blood oranges adorn the cake with fresh blackberries and eucalyptus parvi.

5.  This cake was made in December, as you can see I wanted it to reflect the season: filled with blueberry conserve and a lime flavoured buttercream.  I frosted the blueberries and cranberries.

6.  This is a personal favourite, I love the combination of white chocolate, passionfruit and raspberries.

7. Just a sample of how lace effect works on a buttercream cake, ideal for a wedding.

8.  A rustic autumnal themed cake for an engagement party.  Semi-naked red velvet cake with Swiss meringue buttercream

9. This cake was created for Philippa and Johnny in May, as you can see Philippa had chosen beautiful seasonal flowers. The cake itself is chocolate with vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream and filled with fresh raspberries.

Testimonials:

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!

Best, Hannah Baker-Bungey
