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!

    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
