Recommendation for Cake Maker


SSMY

Recommended Posts

We have ordered two cakes now from Holly at Etiole Bakery and both were absolutely delicious - the design far surpassed our expectations. A while back she made us a christening cake, complete with an icing replica of our daughter's favourite toy on top. Most recently a birthday cake for our son to a spiderman theme. Her service was fantastic, she designed our cakes for us and was very responsive and obliging. It's a small family business and run very professionally. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality she provides. If you need a cake made you should definitely give her a go, the website details are below...

Hi all


I just want to add to this recommendation for Holly at Etoile Bakery. I contacted Holly as I needed to work with a cake maker on a number of catering jobs I am doing for clients (including a 21st birthday party in Kensington) and along the way booked her to do a cake for my son's 4th birthday party, as sadly my own work commitments meant I was too busy to make it myself.


She is incredibly friendly and flexible and with literally only 24 hours notice from me to make a lizard themed cake for my son, delivered a fantastic cake which looked absolutely amazing and tasted fantastic. Really moist and chocolately.


Holly is based quite locally in Clapham and is professionally trained at Le Cordon Bleu. Her prices are reasonable too. Please do give her a call if you need a cake made!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
