I was genuinely impressed with my birthday cake from Essence of Cake. From the very beginning, Tracey took the time to understand exactly what I had in mind and transformed my travel-inspired idea into something truly special. The attention to detail was incredible and the finished cake looked absolutely stunning elegant, luxurious and even better than I had imagined. What impressed me just as much was the taste. The dark chocolate sponge with cherry compote and hazelnut buttercream was absolutely delicious, beautifully balanced and not overly sweet, exactly as I had hoped. Tracey was wonderful throughout the whole process creative, professional, attentive and genuinely passionate about getting every detail right. The cake looked amazing and tasted every bit as good as it looked. It made my birthday feel even more special. Thank you so much, Tracey. I couldn’t have been happier with it and would absolutely recommend Essence of Cake to anyone looking for something truly bespoke and memorable.

Tracey replied to my request to make some cupcakes for our office for Employee Appreciation Day. She replued to my email very quickly and also provided suggestions and offered to work with our brand colours. We very quickly decided on the design and flavours. The cupcakes were delivered to the office on the dot and in great packaging. The whole office shared how lovely they were. We will definitely be using you again! thank you

Essence Of Cake is a small business run by a very talented cake maker and is highly recommended. Brilliant communication and friendly service at every stage of the cake design process, offered delivery options at affordable value, and came up with an exquisite cake design based on my initial request. Will definitely be using this business again. So happy!
