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!

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
