ABOUT ME
I’m Polly and I make cakes!
I started baking custom cakes in 2018, and what began as a fun hobby has now grown into my little business.
It is a lot of hard work, as it’s only me doing it, and I have a “proper job” and a demanding 2 year old! But it is something I love doing.
I now live in Suffolk, (on the border with Norfolk) after moving here in March this year and I am trying to build my customer base locally. Thank you to all of my new customers who have entrusted me with a cake for their special occasion, and I hope I can continue to bake for you in future.
When you order from me, know that everything I do is baked with love! So come and say hi and get yourself some cake. 😀

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- What’s the best way to contact you/order?
Either fill out the form above or contact me through Facebook or Instagram, as I always check my messages there and aim to get back to enquiries within 2 days.
- Where are you based?
I am based in Coney Weston, Bury St Edmunds. Although I am on the Norfolk Suffolk border. 20 minutes from the Centre of Bury and 10 minutes from Thetford.
- How far in advance do I need to order?
As much notice that you can give is always best although I can sometimes do last minute requests, date and design depending.
- Do you offer tastings?
I’m sorry but I don’t currently offer wedding tastings sessions but I do offer cupcakes where you can try out some flavours. I currently offer 12 cupcakes with up to 4 flavours so you and your partner can try some of my flavours.
- What if I don’t have a specific design in mind?
No problem! I can create a design for you if you’re not sure. I take pride in what I do and will do my best to come up with something that you will love.
- Do you deliver, and what are the delivery charges?
I generally do not deliver celebration cakes unless it’s a tiered cake. However if you don’t drive or have an issue getting to me I will always try and help.
I always deliver and set up wedding cakes. The majority of my wedding cakes are Suffolk, Norfolk & Essex based and delivery fees will apply.
- How should I store my cake?
All Cakes should be stored in a fridge. I recommend that it is removed from the fridge 2 hours before serving. The cake is best eaten at room temperature but I will always provide specific storage instructions with your order.
Wedding cakes will be set up as close as I can to the start of your ceremony and I will set them up away from direct sunlight/heat sources.
Cupcakes do not need to be kept refrigerated.
- How do I pay for my order?
All payments are to be made via bank transfer – your booking is confirmed in my diary once a deposit has been paid, then full payment for celebration cakes is to be made at least 48 hours before collection.
Wedding cake payments are due 4 weeks before the date of your wedding as instructed in my terms & conditions.
- How do you handle dietary restrictions and allergies?
If you have any special dietary requirements please let me know as soon as possible and we can discuss the options available to you.
If you have a nut allergy we cannot guarantee to be entirely nut free but we can limit the possibility of contamination.
ALL MY CAKES ARE PRODUCED IN A KITCHEN WHERE NUTS, GLUTEN, DAIRY AND LACTOSE ARE PRESENT.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
A non-refundable deposit of £25 is taken for all celebrations cakes. This secures your date in my diary. Your cake will not be placed in my diary until I have received the deposit. The remaining amount is due via bank transfer the week of collection.
For wedding cakes, a non-refundable deposit of £70 is taken upon booking. I will send an invoice out 4 weeks before the date of your wedding requesting the remainder.
If you have any specific dietary needs, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate. However, unfortunately I cannot cater for those with nut allergies or coeliac disease. This is due to being a home kitchen where nuts, eggs, gluten & other allergens are frequently used.
Once the cake has left my premises I will not be held responsible for any damages. I will always suggest to customers that they hold the box flat on the bottom and avoid touching the sides. I will always advise that the cakes are placed directly into the footwell or boot of the car with the aircon on. Cakes are to be kept cold until a couple of hours before they are to be presented.
