ITS BEEN A HOT MINUTE!
I think itâs time I reintroduce myself.
Having worked my whole career in pharmaceutical sales, after graduating from university with the most irrelevant MSc in Equine Science and Business Management, I knew I was done.
My two boys brought about a perspective like no other. One where time with them felt more precious than anything. They unearthed a side of me I didnât know existed. It took a long time, but I found a version of me that would only show itself after I let go of the relentless pursuit of financial reward.
A creative side emerged from nowhere but a love of baking and all things food has been a constant for as long as I can remember.
So here I am. Realising life is short, living the dream, working with incredible customers, bringing edible art to life.
The most genuine feeling I have is that itâs a true honour to be chosen to celebrate someoneâs special day. Whether a cake for your wedding day, a special birthday cake or a load of beautiful desserts for your dinner party. I never take it for granted.
Iâm not chasing volume orders, rather connection with my customers. An opportunity to create for gorgeous people while feeding my soul.
Always learning, always stressing that youâre not going to like it, absolutely confident Iâm in the right place at the right time!
Now itâs your turn. Tell me something about you đ
Love Sarah đ
Thank you @samsparksphoto for the lovely photos âĽď¸

Sheâs called KATE and isnât she a beauty.
I absolutely loved making this wedding cake. Using fondant to create a material like texture. Ribbon like drapes giving movement and flow, creating a super modern yet couture wedding cake.
Sheâs a statement. Sheâs elegant and sheâs super stylish, perfect for the modern and stylish couple.
She works anywhere. A lovely cosy barn like this here at @stockfarmbarn or imagine her pride of place in a super bright, orangery style venue, surrounded by greenery. Pure sophistication.
When choosing your wedding cake design, think out of the box, be different to everyone else. Make it a forever memory and a talking point for all your guests.
We havenât seen the last of ruffle cakes yet.
Absolutely loved working with @floveevents , @flower_lounge and @stellafotos .
That beautiful dress is from @thewhitecloset and the suit from @whitfieldandward .

Describe in ONE word đ
For beautiful Emma Ameliaâs first holy communion.
Elegant, beautiful, modern cakes for those who value them the most.

Vanilla, raspberry and white chocolate.

Featuring exceptional peonies from @flower_lounge .

GHOSTING.
I have so many filtering processes in place but somehow the cheeky little horrors still get through.
An enquiry form with budget guides.
Starting from prices for different cakes published on my website.
An introductory conversation so you know I value my work.
Social media content eluding to the fact I donât compare my work to Sheila down road.
OUFT.
To those who reply to my emails, I value you.
To those who have the courage and decency to respond saying my cakes are out of your budget, I respect, value and donât judge you.
To those who ghost. If you could show your hand earlier Iâd respect you more, maybe. Please. And. Thank you.
How are other business owners dealing with this level of, well, RUDENESS?
Let me know in the comments, Iâd love to hear.
#ghosting #cakesmanchester #weddingcakes
Feel free to copy me guys. đ¤Ł
Ah shit Iâm not there yet! Maybe one day! đ¤Ł
Joking aside, thank you to everyone that chooses me.
I have some VERY BESPOKE cakes coming up so thereâs time.
#luxuryweddingcake #weddingcake #bespokewedding
Had to jump on this trend because it made me laugh.
If the conversation starts with any of the following, Iâm running for the hillsâŚ
- âJustâ
- âLittleâ
- âSimpleâ
That âlittleâ cake youâre after takes me 5 hours to make. There is no âjustâ throwing a cake together either and sometimes the most âsimpleâ of cakes take the most time because there is nowhere to hide!!!
I may be wrong but it implies a lack of awareness of the effort needed, the time itâs going to take and therefore the monetary investment required.
My number one business rule is to only work where value is appreciated, energy matches and joy is found. It makes for the most enjoyable business ride.
If weâve worked together I chose you as much as you chose me. Love ya! âĽď¸

A luxury wedding is about an experience for both the couple and your guests.
How many weddings have you been to where you could run through the day with your eyes closed? You know whatâs coming and when. No surprise, nothing that keeps the guests on their toes, nothing different to Karen and Barry that got married 20 years ago.
You donât have to follow trends but you absolutely can shake things up a bit. Bring YOUR personality to the day and not Nanas. Nobody finds Nana that fun so please donât do the things she would expect you to do. Do you!
Elevating your wedding cake experience is one way. Whether itâs candles on your cake instead of cutting or a live build dessert experience for your guests itâs something they will absolutely not expect and theyâll remember forever!
If youâre a modern bride getting married in Manchester or Cheshire in 2026 or 2027 and youâre up for doing it differently. Letâs chat!
Save and share with your non traditional brides!
Thank you @rosskerrfilms for capturing perfectly.

Wedding Tiramisu is absolutely where itâs at right now.
An amazing alternative for the modern couple wanting to step away from tradition and embrace this 2026 trend thatâs here to stay. Mark my words, weâll be seeing the wedding tiramisu for the next few years without doubt!
If youâve opted for an editorial style photographer this is your wedding dessert.
Imagine the photo opportunity opportunities youâll have.
- Dusting with cocoa power âď¸
- Cutting tick âď¸
- Feeding tick âď¸
- Serve your first few guests âď¸
Itâs more than just a cake, itâs a full guest experience.
Indicative prices can be found in my highlights.
Drop me a message if youâre getting married in 2026 or 2027 in Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool, Lancashire or Yorkshire and youâre looking at an alternative to the traditional wedding cake.
