Zoe understood exactly what we wanted
I first found The Cake Queen on Instagram and was immediately blown away by the beautiful cakes that I saw. When booking the cake for our wedding, every exchange with Zoe was timely and professional. She sent us tasters to try and we had a huge choice of flavours to choose from. We also had a video consultation where Zoe understood exactly what we wanted. On the wedding day we had nothing to worry about as the cake was delivered and set up for us. Everyone commented on how delicious it was.

Highly recommend Zoe
Zoe was amazing and was extremely helpful throughout the planning process. Zoe listened to our ideas and thoughts and created us a beautiful cake even adding the most personal touches which we loved. Even when not 100% sure what coloured sugar flowers I wanted on the cake Zoe was so helpful and put my mind at ease. Zoe absolutely smashed our wedding cake the whole thing was the most beautiful thing we could have ever wished for. Highly recommend Zoe to anyone who needs a wedding cake!!!

Zoe was incredible throughout
Zoe was incredible throughout - I contacted her on Instagram initially, but was happy with all methods of comms - social media, text, zoom. I ordered a taster box for my boyfriends birthday, it came beautifully presented, Zoe even adapted the flavours to include a chocolate one to meet my request. We married in a heatwave contact was made to reassure me all would be fine with the cake. The presentation/flavour were incredible, she contacted my florist to include matching flowers too!

Understood my vibe & added her expert knowledge
Zoe was incredible from start to finish. From the initial consultation she understood my vibe of the wedding and added her expert knowledge for finish. She liaised with my florist and wedding planner leaving me nothing to do apart from see the finished pieces. The cake flavours were insane, so moist and flavourful whilst being perfectly proportioned of cake to filling.

Friendliness & professionalism made her stand out
Zoe was absolutely fantastic from the moment we met her at the wedding fair in Grimsby. We came away knowing we didn’t have to look anywhere else for our cake supplier. Her taster box was varied and absolutely delicious and her friendliness and professionalism made her stand out from anyone else. She took on board the theme of our wedding and designed the perfect cake to meet our requirements. It looked absolutely stunning in our venue and would certainly go back to her next time I need a cake.

Her enthusiasm was infectious
We met The Cake Queen at a wedding fair at our chosen venue and were impressed with her range of skills and ideas. She gave us new ideas and options for designs and her enthusiasm was infectious. We discussed our idea and she came up with the perfect design. The range of flavours was a difficult choice because they all tasted incredible. We were blown away with our cake on the day and our guests loved the flavours we ultimately chose. The whole process from start to finish was smooth.

Beyond my expectations!
I first saw and tasted Zoe's cakes when I went to my dress shopping appointment and was sold straight away! They not only tasted beautiful but looked it. Zoe was absolutely amazing, I could not fault her in anyway. She understood my vision completely and was able to execute it to beyond my expectations. I've said it many times but Zoe is literally THE CAKE QUEEN.

FAQs

What is your signature cake?

As each cake is designed specifically for each individual couple my cakes can look quite different, but my signature style generally includes a sugarpaste finish with personalised elements without being novelty.

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

Certainly the most personalised cake I have made included many different personalised elements including bespoke book spines and favourite steam train in a reveal-back design, phrases from their favourite novels in love hearts on the front, balanced beautifully with sugar flowers to ensure their cake still looked classic and elegant, rather than novelty. Flavour-wise I have created new or adapted my recipes to make cakes even more special for my couples, for example I created a banana bread inspired flavour at a couples request after the pandemic due to their love for it.

Describe how you got into making wedding cakes.

I first started making cakes simply to make my daughters' birthday cakes, but as my skills and business grew as did my love for weddings, so it was a natural progression for me. I love everything about weddings, always have done since the age of 5 when the church bells would ring at the church opposite my grandparents house. The pride and happiness being part of someone's special day is magical.
