THE GREAT YORKSHIRE CAKE OFF

“My design style focuses on a wild and whimsical, naturally beautiful look,” says My Little Cakery’s Natalie Crooks. “Mixing lots of textures with florals for a relaxed yet romantic feel; I love pressed edible florals, big bold statement flowers, eye catching colours and organic textures. I also really enjoy pushing boundaries with modern designs that reflect my couples’ personalities.” www.mylittlecakery.com

“I create modern, elegant and unique cakes using lots of texture and colour,” says Weddings by Tasha’s Cakery Tasha Johnson. “I love to bring the couple's personality and theme for the day to the cake, while still keeping it classy. I like to work with couples who don’t want just a typical wedding cake – but still yearn for something beautiful. I’m also easy to work with, making the whole process simple as I know how stressful planning a wedding can be.” https://weddingsbytashascakery.co.uk

“My background is in fine dining desserts and French patisserie,” says Blossom Tree Cake Company’s Kean Ong. “I combine my passion for using the freshest locally sourced natural ingredients and make everything from scratch. I like to focus on creating timelessly elegant wedding cakes with contemporary clean lines and exquisite sugar flowers. Taking inspiration from nature, I’m always looking to continue to develop my own style rather than following trends.” https://www.blossomtreecakeco.co.uk

The Cake Parlour

“My style is elegant and modern with clean sharp lines,” says The Cake Parlour’s Julia Timmins. “I love sugar flowers – although time consuming, they elevate the aesthetics of the finished cake to another level. I also love how guests are surprised to discover they’re actually made from sugar – and are not real! Whatever you want, I’m passionate about creating beautiful designs and flavours, and it’s my goal to provide a show stopping centre piece for your day.” www.facebook.com/cakeparlourdoncaster

“I specialise in buttercream and ganache cakes with modern and elegant designs,” says Cake and Coe’s Sammi Williamson.

“My style of cake is very much the ‘less-is-more’ approach; showcasing clean-cut and smooth edges, but with the ability to add elements of rustic charm or other details to ensure each cake is a reflection of the couple it represents. I also love a smooth buttercream finish with fresh florals to complement your bouquet and venue decorations.” https://cakeandcoe.com

“I offer bespoke hand piped floral buttercream cupcakes; an alternative to a traditional cake,” says Blooming Marvellous Cakes’ Jane Tucker. “Flowers have always been a key element in cake designs; and with me my cupcakes look like real flowers! I tend to offer vanilla cupcakes as they best complement Madagascan bourbon vanilla buttercream. Some couples also request an additional six inch cutting cake to accompany the cupcakes, which can be in a flavour of their choice.” www.instagram.com/ bloomingmarvellouscakes

“My cakes are bright, creative and fun,” says Hannah’s Kitchen’s Hannah Andrews. “I love a twist, I love a quirk, and I love colour. During the planning I enjoy finding out about my couple and their plans, and if I have the chance to put something personal in their bake, I embrace it. My couples also like the idea of offering their guests different options – and with mini cakes and cupcakes to brownies, millionaire’s shortbread and cookies, there’s something for everyone.” www.hannahskitchenleeds.co.uk

“We offer all styles of wedding cakes,” says The Bakery Barn’s Heidi Banks. “With many couples choosing a more rustic setting for their venue, the naked cake is often the choice and is always popular when we exhibit at wedding fairs. The semi naked cake is probably the most ‘on trend’ cake, with the full buttercream cake being another popular option. Whatever you choose, we care about what we do and have the experience essential to be trusted to supply your big day bake.” www.thebakerybarn.co.uk

“I create cakes which include inspiration from details on wedding dresses or artwork from stationery,” says Dreamcatcher Cakes by Tracy-Anne’s TracyAnne Hirst. “More drawn to modern-looking designs, I’ve noticed that my couples are open to trying different flavours, especially combinations they may not have thought of before. My personal favourite is a zesty lemon and poppy seed sponge combined with Sicilian lemon flavour buttercream.” www.dreamcatchercakes.co.uk

“My favourite cakes to make are semi naked and rustic buttercream,” says Cakerbells’ Jessica Richmond. “More adventurous flavours such as Biscoff and red velvet have been a huge hit with couples, and I find that traditional fruit cakes are rarely requested. Whatever you choose, being a small business, it’s always a privilege being asked to make a wedding cake for a couple’s special day. I put a lot of love into my cakes, and each bake leaves me with a cherished memory.” www.cakerbells.co.uk

“My style is modern and elegant, focusing on tall, sharped edges with handcrafted sugar florals,” says Katrina’s Bespoke Cakes’ Katrina Meggitt. “I’m seeing a lot of flowers for this year, however, I think the main trend is that couples are not afraid to choose a design based on what they love. I don’t think they feel pressured to stick to one idea of what a wedding cake should or has to be anymore. This means cakes are becoming more like pieces of art and so much fun for a cake designer.” www.katrinasbespokecakes.com www.andy-matheson.com

“Timeless and elegant, my cakes are luxurious and made of the finest quality ingredients,” says The Paradise Cake Company’s Hannah Ephraim Walpole. “My most popular flavour right now is lemon, combined with other flavours such as elderflower or blueberries. Whatever flavour you choose, I pay attention to detail – all my bakes are works of art created with you as a couple in mind, to give you the wedding cake of your dreams.” www.theparadisecakecompany.co.uk
