About us
We have been making wedding cakes for many years now and
still enjoy being a part of such a happy occasion. There’s something
special about each and every wedding and designing a wedding cake and playing a
role in the special day still makes us beam with smiles. We have worked with
many prestigious wedding venues across the south of England, including the
world renowned Chewton Glen in The New Forest. We are equally proud of our
status as preferred cake suppliers to Tylney Hall, The Elvetham and Rhinefield
House and simply love each of these venues for their individual beauty and
charm.
The foundation of the wedding cake business was our love of
fine foods and especially, the gorgeous sweet treats that finish off a great
meal. This passion led to the creation of a number of celebration cakes that
were designed to tease the palate and satisfy the craving without being too
sweet or too full of preservatives (we don’t use any!) to let you enjoy them
with a clear conscience.
We found that many of our friends began to ask us to produce
a ‘special cake’ for a family birthday, wedding or other celebration, or simply
as a thank you gift and this continued to grow and expand into childrens
birthday cakes and then our first wedding cake for a close family member. We
were hesitant at first but the brides insistence that she wanted us to make it
as our cakes ‘were the best she’d ever tasted’ made us take the plunge. It was
a stressful week but it went well, the bride loved it, the groom adored it
(eating it for several days afterwards) and even the caterers (with over 1000
weddings in their portfolio) were asking us to work with them on future events.
Sadly the wedding was 200 miles away from our base in Basingstoke, so we had to
decline the request, even though they offered us a very good rate for delivery.
Since that first wedding cake we have continued to improve
and expand our repertoire and judging by the compliments we receive from happy
couples after the event, we must be doing something right still. We now offer
cheese ‘cakes’, made from a selection of the finest cheeses, hand crafted in
The New Forest and usually accompanied with a selection of crackers and
chutneys for the couple that want something a little different. We also produce
a wide range of favours for weddings and other occasions, from traditional
sugar almonds, chocolate hearts, plain or iced cookies and other little
niceties. Old time sweets are also a popular option to add to the evening and
we offer these, complete with jars and sweetie-bags to make them just that
little bit extra special.
