Cake chef

[grovevale]

Hi everyone,

I'm an experienced cake baker and chef, a self-taught foody, with a background in hospitality and cafe management (including level 2 food hygiene).

I specialise in cakes and puddings, made to order for any event - as a centre point, a gift, or even to pass off as your own!

Any sweet treats are available, such as:

sponges/cupcakes(coffee & walnut, carrot, victoria, triple chocolate);

brownies (white chocolate & berry, chocolate & hazelnut, chocolate fudge,peanut butter, salted caramel);

cookies (peanut butter, oat & sultana, chocolate chip, toffee fudge, ginger);

tarts (lemon, chocolate, fruit, apple, pear & almond, berry, caramelised nuts).

For the more adventurous celebration we can work together on a Cake Creation - a unique combination of your favourite flavours and ingredients, carefully considered within the Cake Consultation, and guaranteed to lead to squirms of delight.

Examples include -

banana, apple & walnut cake with vanilla buttercream;

raspberry marble cake with chocolate icing and hazelnut crust;

passionfruit and lemon layer cake with cream cheese icing;

chocolate orange bomb cake with Wispa ganache icing;

triple ginger cake with lemon glaze;

pear, almond and cardamon cake;

courgette, raisin and walnut;

lemon and dark chocolate;

mango and lemon meringue pie...

Everything made from scratch in East Dulwich, using natural, locally sourced ingredients, only ever pure butter and free-range eggs, with no artificial colourings or preservatives.

Happy to discuss any Cake or Pudding Creation, just PM me please! 48 hrs notice required.

Thanks!

Hi

Could you let me know what your thoughts are on a cake like the photo below for a wedding. A simple jam & buttercream Victoria sponge (non iced) with fruit, 3 tiers to serve about 80-90 people. I have a glass cake stand that could be suitable or if a larger one is needed could buy one.

Thanks

hello,

It is my baby boy's dedication this Sunday and I was hoping to bake myself, but as time is running out I might have to purchase instead. I hate shop cakes, so pls could you let me know the price of a 10 medium slices of a double ginger cake with lemon glaze and a plain 10 medium slices Victoria sponge with a strawberry jam filling, no cream or icing. I've made a small traditional fruit cake. I would need them in time for Sunday tea - 4.30pm. Thank you

Regards

Tamsin

Hi, I'm organising a party and want to make a triple layer cake in 'wild animal' style but think I have the time and skills to do one layer plus the decoration... Would you be interested in doing a square chocolate cake for the bottom layer, and a slightly smaller square Madeira/sponge/lemon for the middle layer, both with plain white fondant icing? I would need it on the evening of the 19th of June. Julie.

[grovevale]

Hi jules

Thanks for the enquiry, I would love to help out on this project! Have sent you a private message so hopefully we can chat soon and plan the details.

Last but not least, the silver disco ball cake!

A chocolate sponge ball filled and iced with chocolate buttercream. Covered with fondant icing and sprayed silver with edible glitter! Standing on an iced chocolate sponge base with the birthday girl's name on it.

More photos are available via a link to DropBox, email or text. Feel free to PM me with any enquiries or call/text on 07861673600.

Thanks all!

I would highly recommend Cake Chef.

The disco ball cake was made for my daughter's 11th birthday party and everyone at the party was amazed at both the design and taste of the cake.

The chocolate sponge was delicious and when we added sparklers to the top of the ball it looked amazing!

I gave Cassia a wishlist for the design of this cake and she delivered to brief, on time and within budget.

Great service.

I ordered from the Cake chef for an afternoon tea gathering. Cassia was friendly and from the get go you could feel her passion for baking and eating. I ordered a Victoria sponge with jam, cream and fresh strawberries which was delicious, buttery and fluffy. I also order cupcakes flavoured: chocolate and caramel, white chocolate and raspberry, carrot orange and cardamom, lemon and passion fruit. They all looked beautifully decorated and tasted even better. These little gems were absolutely gorgeous, sweet and not overly rich, but still a "cupcake indulgence"!

I definitely recommend Cassia and I will order from her again.

Very friendly service

Catarina

Do get in touch if you would like to discuss any cake creation - anything from traditional tastes to something new and bespoke.

Thanks,

Cassia

Hi Cassia

I need a christening cake for my little boy. I don't know whether to go for something traditional looking or not. I don't like fruit cake so would need some kind of flavoured sponge. Will need to feed approximately 50 people.

Help! What would you suggest?
