Amy Swann lives in a pretty village on the Welsh border near Chester, with her husband and three little daughters. Her beautiful and unique hand-painted cakes are each crafted to become oneoff works of art, and she brings her client’s ideas to life for occasions which are special to them. Her passion and aim is to create magical treasured memories, working with themes such as nature, and the seasons, their stories and their loves. Who is Amy Swann? I live in two worlds; the first is very much family orientated, as a wife and a mother to my 4 year old and two year old twin girls. The second is my creative world which takes me on some amazing adventures; I’m a bit of a butterfly. Tell us about the ethos behind your wonderful art. That’s a difficult question as I just do things my way and it happens so naturally. I guess I always stay true to my own vision and style. I am truly inspired by so many makers, florists and illustrators, but ultimately I have my own idea of how I want things to look and it’s very instinctive. I just want to make beautiful objects.
