My Story

It started with an unexpected discovery, like all the best stories.

I found an old recipe in my grandmother’s handwriting.  Folded.  Tucked inside one of my mother’s cookery books.  A Victoria sponge recipe passed down the generations.  That chance find led me to begin baking using that same recipe and the seed of a new career as a modern wedding cake artist began to take root.

Growing up we moved quite a lot, something I have continued, moving around the country, changing jobs.  A varied career including driving instructor, croupier, English teacher.  Living in various places from Kent to Yorkshire and Devon, twice!  I moved away from Devon and immediately knew it was a mistake.  So, I finally managed to return – now I’m back home in Devon, making cakes.

Creativity has always been at the heart of who I am.  I love making sugar flowers.  It’s a process that cannot be rushed.  Always referencing real flowers, each individual petal is cut, veined, shaped and placed by hand with precision and intention.  It takes as long as it takes.  It is a place of calm and quiet amidst the noise.

Every wedding I work on receives my full focus which is why I only take on a maximum of 12 commissions a year.  I’m here for the stylish, the artistic, the quietly independent who set their own trends.  My signature style harmoniously fuses textured detailing, nuanced colour palettes and hand-sculpted sugar flowers to create an extraordinary and mesmerising wedding cake for modern creative couples.

When working with you to design your wedding cake I listen to your dreams and vision and draw inspiration from your venue, its heritage, ambience and landscape as well as your personal style and palette.  The result is a captivating wedding cake that doesn’t blend into the background but rather turns heads and tantalises the taste buds.

What an incredible cake! Being a very artistic person myself our brief was unconventional, this was not a problem for Sue. She was a joy to work with, her creativity and ideas fit our vision perfectly.

The cake was really spectacular and the prettiest wedding cake I have ever seen. It was really delicious too, such a lovely buttery sponge and fruity fillings.

Sue was brilliant from the start. The finished cake was perfect and a delight to see on our wedding day. Everybody commented on it and certainly enjoyed eating it, as did we.

The cake looked and tasted divine! Thank you for your time on the morning of the wedding to make sure it looked perfect. It was a true reflection of what we had in mind and fitted our theme perfectly.

Chris and Elle

Sue interpreted our brief beautifully! It was absolutely delicious and looked completely stunning! We had so many guests telling us how talented you are – thank you so much again for helping to make our special day extra magical!

Miranda and Oisin

This lady is amazing! The lady who originally was meant to make our cake cancelled 3 weeks before the wedding and we were left in a panic. Sue made our cake and it was beautiful! Amazing service, lovely lady and I will be getting her to make us a christening cake when that time comes!

Naomi and Ben

Sue, the cake was just PERFECT! Apart from looking so fantastic it also tasted amazing. Thank you so much! It was the dream!

Georgina and Jeroen

Thank you so much for the most spectacular wedding cake! It was absolutely amazing and everyone commented on it even before they got a chance to taste it. We enjoyed every last morsel!

Jack and Colin

Our wedding cake was spectacular - we had SO many comments about it! People just loved it and it was much photographed. I'm so glad we went for the rose petal filling - people found that unusual and lovely. It was exactly as I hoped it would be, so a huge thank you for doing such a great job.

Kate and David

Oh my goodness... ‘gorgeous’ doesn’t even begin to do justice to how amazingly beautiful our wedding cakes looked! They truly were a work of art. All the cakes tasted fantastic, obviously we already knew how scrumptious they were going to be, but our guests were very impressed by all three.

Lucy and Jonathan

Thank you so much for making our day so special. The cake looked and tasted amazing! Guests are still talking about it.
