About Us

From Dream to Dessert: The Birth of Cakes by Emi-Lou

Our story

Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision – to redefine the way people experience cake.

What started as a love for baking soon grew into a passion for creating cakes that feel as special as the moments they celebrate. Every recipe was carefully tested, every technique refined, and every design inspired by the belief that no two celebrations should ever look — or taste — the same.

We specialise in handcrafted buttercream cakes and cupcakes, made fresh to order using quality ingredients and a keen eye for detail. From intimate gatherings to milestone celebrations, each cake is thoughtfully designed to reflect your vision, ensuring it’s not only beautiful but unforgettable.

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to care, creativity, and consistency. We pride ourselves on a personal approach, working closely with our clients to bring their ideas to life while maintaining the highest standards of hygiene, food safety, and service.

More than just cake, what we create are centrepieces for life’s sweetest moments — baked with passion, finished with love, and made to be shared.

Quality Assurance

Payment Information

To secure your cake order, a non-refundable deposit of £25 is required. Orders are only confirmed once the deposit has been received.

We accept payment via bank transfer or PayPal. Full payment details will be provided once your order has been confirmed.

The remaining balance must be paid in full one week prior to collection. An invoice will be issued for the outstanding amount. Please note that if full payment is not received by the due date, the cake will not be prepared and the order will be considered cancelled.

Customer-Centric Approach

DESIGNS & CREATIVITY

The cake design, colours, and details have been agreed and approved by the customer. I do not copy other bakers' work — any photos or sketches provided are used as inspiration, with my own creative twist to make your cake unique.

Reference images or sketches are a guide only; colours, placement, and styling may vary slightly depending on materials, lighting, and creative interpretation.

I don't currently provide design sketches before booking, as each cake evolves naturally during decoration. Creative adjustments are often made for the best balance, colour harmony, and finish. Your ideas and preferences are always used to ensure the final design reflects your vision as closely as possible.
