she was great from start to finish
Bakerlu made our wedding cake and she was great from start to finish. Within a day of inquiring we had a tasting session booked and then tucked into the best 5 pieces of cake we had ever ate! One of Bakerlu's specialties, the Prosecco Passion, went down a treat and was definitely the fan favourite. But honastely the flavours were all so good we had to add an extra tier because we couldn't choose!

Lucy baked us the most wonderful cake
Lucy baked us the most wonderful cake for our wedding last December - 3 layers of chocolate, red velvet and lemon, and it not only tasted delicious but looked beautiful too! Her service and communication was excellent, making the whole process easy and enjoyable, and we couldn't fault a thing. We recently had a miniature version of our wedding cake made by Luce to celebrate our first anniversary and the same delicious cake, and impeccable service, was provided. Thank you, Lucy! We will definitel

Absolutely gorgeous cakes!
Absolutely gorgeous cakes! Lu made my daughter's wedding cake which was so stunning we asked her to make a cake for my sister's silver wedding. That cake (lemon and lime) was delicious and so pretty, matching their original colour scheme! So good to have a cake that looks beautiful and tastes wonderful. Highly recommended

it was incredible
Lucy made our wedding cake and it was incredible. She offered some initial ideas & her website has all the information you need. We then decided together our final design and it was perfect on the day. Lucy's flavours are so amazing it's hard to choose which to go for!! I would Recommend Lucy to everyone!! X

Amazing wedding cake - great service
Amazing wedding cake - great service from the initial cake tasting session, designing, baking, delivering and setting up the cake at the venue. All of the guests loved the cake - and more importantly so do we!

Lu was absolutely fantastic
We asked Bakerlu to create our wedding cake from a recommendation from a family member who has been a customer for years. Lu was absolutely fantastic and really brought our wedding cake idea to life. All of the taster slices were amazing and we decided on Lemon, Cookies 'n' Cream, and White Chocolate and Raspberry. The first two flavours in particular were completely wiped out by our wedding guests, I don't remember even seeing them on the serving plate at the wedding reception!

absolutely thrilled with how the cake turned out
We had great fun with Lucy designing our wedding cake and enjoying the taster box. We were absolutely thrilled with how the cake turned out on the day. It surpassed our expectations and got lots of compliments from our guests. Lucy also dropped off additional wedding cake at my mums care home on the day of the wedding. Many thanks Lucy, we will definitely be using you again!

the cake look fab-u-lous it tasted even better
Well what can we say about our wedding cake? We got married in our garden in June this year and wanted a cake that fitted in with our garden wedding theme and wow Bakerlu certainly delivered. Not only did the cake look fab-u-lous it tasted even better and we honestly struggled to pick 3 flavours when we sampled the different options on offer as they are all equally as delicious. Thank you so much Lucy xx

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Colourful, Creative, Fun, Unique, Stylish

What is your signature cake?

People LOVE my Vanilla Bean & Passionfruit, it's a firm favourite for weddings with a scrumptious Italian meringue buttercream which is light and not as sweet as traditional buttercream. Another stunner is the Ginger and Rhubarb!

What is the most original creation you have baked for a wedding?

A zombie themed scene hidden at the back of a cake was pretty unique!

Describe how you got into making wedding cakes.

After traveling around Europe and North America, discovering incredible bakeries along the way, I embarked on a Bakery Course. After receiving my Level 3 Diploma I moved to London to work in the top bakeries there and loved the buzz of creating showstopping cakes that taste amazing. When I moved back to Leicestershire to set up my own bakery, the enquiries cake in thick and fast and I'm loving bringing London standard cakes to the local area.
