Who is My Little Cake Studio...?
Who me?
Let me share with you a little about me
- Hi! my name is Debbie
- I'm mum to 4 grown children
- I am also mum to our dogs
- My journey into wedding cakes started with my daughter asking me to make a cake for her friend, I made this cake, only ever making cakes for my children prior to that, it was made in rushed circumstances and very well received, which is what snowballed to where i am today, my baking skills have come from many years of trial and error, back in 2010 I attended a patisserie course at college. My decoring skills, initially trial and error, followed by a few Youtube videos back in 2015 and a handful of classes to refine my making flowers skills, I mostly consider myself to be self-taught This whole experience has led me on a delightful journey of self-discovery, I have discovered an artistic flair i never knew i had and wish i'd found a lot earlier in life but so pleased to be exploring all the possibilities i now have.
- My Little cake Studio is just me from cake designer, accountant, web designer and marketing manager and many other numerious hats that running a business on your own entails
a few other little details about me
- I'm a lover of fruit cake
- I enjoy everything about Christmas
- I enjoy pottery outside of cake making
- I enjoy sewing, espcially patchwork and quilting and crochet
- I love the countryside, horses and dogs
- I have a passion for florals, studying them and growning some.
- i am also a collector of china teasets
- I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, infact every wedding cake I make while I work on all aspects of the cake i work with with Harry Potter playing in the background, it has become my ritual
Finally ...
- I love making wedding cakes and being a part of the wedding industry, it really is a lovely industry to be apart of. I love meeting my couples, listening to what they have planned for their speical day and creating a cake that helps to complete the vision of their day if not suceed their expectations.
What is your cake Style?
My style .... well i can tell you my cake comfort zone is definitely sugarpasted cakes, with a mostly textured finish and handmade sugar flowers. But I also love a buttercream cake covered in organic, edible flowers, I am happy to make whichever cake that is best suited to my couple as i feel that cakes should be as individual as my couples are.
Is There Anything Else?
I had the amazing and unexpected honour of winning The Wedding Industry Award for the East Midlands Wedding Cake Designer for 2024, it absolutely blew me away! It has been an unreal experience since winning, i announced my great news on my social media accounts and the following day i walked into a couple of my local shops and i was appluded and congratulated, it is honestly so humbling and feels me with so much pride that not only is it an honour me but people of the town in which I live are proud too, such a wonderful acheivement to share
I think that's pretty much me , I have a simple but full life and I try to make it and those around me as happy as possible.
