Wedding Cakes


“Emily baked us the most amazing cake for our wedding,  It completely blew me away when I saw it, but it didn’t just look incredible, it was also absolutely delicious.  Several people have told us it was the best cake they have ever tasted – particularly the carrot and walnut layer.  

We decided at quite short notice that we needed a wedding cake but Emily was totally unflappable and helped us to decide what flavours and decoration to go for.  We would advise anybody looking for a wedding cake to get in touch- there aren’t really the words to describe how happy we were with ours.

Thanks again”.

“I was sure I wanted a naked cake and Victoria sponges are my absolute favourite so we went for a strawberry and vanilla sponge and a lemon and blueberry sponge.  We also has a gluten-free chocolate cake & mini vegan Victoria sponge cakes.  Emily has her own garden and decorated the cakes with flowers and fruit, which looked amazing.  The cakes tasted delicious and all our guests commented on them.”

“I am so sorry we did not get to meet you on the day and say thank you so very much for such exquisite cakes.  They went so far beyond any expectations or dreams!  They absolutely were the centre piece of our wedding feast and one of the greatest delights of the day.  I was sorry that I had to cut them and would love to have been able to preserve them as they were!  The flowers were amazing and we shared them amongst our best friends and family who stayed over in the farmhouse and helped us with the clear up the following day, making sure that they were enjoyed for as long as possible.  The cakes were delicious too.”

Nicky (Bride), Widecombe-in-the-moor, (September 2017)




“I just wanted to say how blown away we were by your amazing cake on our wedding day.  As I came into the barn after drinks, everyone was asking ‘have you seen the cake?’ and as I saw it myself, I was so delighted by how beautiful it was that our photographer Helen immediately leapt into action to capture my reaction.  Even more importantly, it was also absolutely delicious and went down a storm when we served it later in the day.  Thanks too for managing the complex logistics of getting it all the way to River Cottage and down the track without so much as needing to call us!”.

“Emily was amazing, it was really important to me to have locally sourced, organic ingredients so I was so happy to find her. Being gluten intolerant, I was worried that would put Emily off but she not only wasn’t phased by it, she created gorgeous dairy free cakes for my lactose free guests which were equally exquisite!

Emily decorated the cake beautifully, it fit perfectly with the rest of our wedding design and it was completely delicious. Many guests commented how lovely it was before we’d even cut it and everyone agreed it tasted incredible.

Emily was a joy the whole way through and I would absolutely recommend her!

Thank you so much Emily, love from Hayley-Rose & Tom”

One of our guests was so touched by having special cakes prepared for her dietary requirements, and it really helped for her to feel included.

We are so grateful to have had the luxury of your beautiful wedding cakes, we couldn’t have hoped for better.”

 “We just wanted to say a very big thank you to the incredibly talented Emily for making the most delicious selection of cakes for our wedding day. The attention to detail was immaculate and matched our brief perfectly. The selection of yummy summer fruits and the beautiful apricot organic flowers looked beautiful and so many people commented on it with glowing appraisal.
My personal favourite was the lemon polenta cakes with rose water icing and pistachio nuts, it was so moist and kept fresh for such a long time. Mostly, thank you for how kind and gracious you were and how understanding of any little changes along the way.
Thanking you sincerely, Jadey and Andy”

“Huge thank you for your amazing cake.  It looked stunning, and tasted so delicious! As soon as I arrived at the farm, friends were asking me if I had seen the cake yet, and saying how gorgeous it was.  And in the evening at least half a dozen people asked me if I’d had a taste and offered to fetch me a slice.  So it is safe to say it was very popular!  In fact I think there was hardly anything left the next day.  

Thank you also for working with Laura Hingston to get the flowers right.  The Tipi looked liked something out of a fairytale.  We couldn’t have been happier!      Best wishes, Kate x “

“Thank you so much for the beautiful cake you made for our wedding.  It was a work of art and exactly what we wanted.  It also made for a delicious dessert.”

Hannah & Ben Williams (Bride), ‘Cliff House’, Salcombe (July 2015)


“Choosing Emily to make our wedding cake and desserts was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. We wanted to use my Nanna’s Victoria Sponge recipe and Emily followed the recipe perfectly, she also made a selection of other desserts for us, which were delicious. The tasting session at Emily’s house was one of the best experiences we had during the wedding planning, it was really special to see where she makes the cakes and her home-grown flowers that she uses to decorate them. Emily also has a fantastic talent for styling and made our dessert table look absolutely perfect, it looked like it was straight from a wedding magazine. Emily is so calm, friendly and accommodating – she organised everything for us from delivery to picking her things up the day after the wedding, so everything ran like clockwork. We would recommend Emily to anybody who is looking for desserts and cake for a special event.”  

Graham & Kim McNicholl (Bride), ‘Cliff House’, Salcombe (June 2015)


“Your cake was amazing …. Stunning to look at and absolutely delicious to eat and we have been enjoying what was left since we have been here and everyone departed for home!

Julie Evetts (Bride), ‘Cliff House’, Salcombe (June 2015)

“The wedding cake that Emily created for us was a beautiful work of art! It could not have been any better. Emily was lovely to work with and very sensitive to our wishes. I felt that I could completely rely on her to do everything she committed to do, including setting up the whole cake display on the day in plenty of time. Many of our guests commented on how special the cake table was and it formed a significant part of our wedding decor. Emily made us three different cakes and each has been absolutely delicious! I would recommend Emily to everyone without any reservations. Thank you, Emily!”

OTHER WORK



‘Emily created the most beautiful variety of food for our daughter, Miranda’s wedding. The dishes Emily made were inspired: particularly the blueberry and lemon cheesecakes with borage flowers and the giant pyramid of chocolate brownies. It certainly looked sumptuous and tasted delicious. We were very pleased to overhear someone say ‘ This is the best wedding food ever.’
