Welcome to Cake Corner where quality and satisfaction are my number one priorities.
All my products are home baked, fresh for every order. I use fresh ingredients and tried and tested recipes. Ingredients include real butter, Belgian chocolate, fresh eggs (free range whenever possible), natural vanilla extract and freshly ground spices. I do not add any artificial flavourings, preservatives or synthetic alternatives. My fillings include Butter cream - made fresh for every order from real butter, fresh milk and high quality confectioner’s sugar – flavoured with natural vanilla extract, high quality Belgian chocolate, unsweetened cocoa and fresh lemons which are juiced and zested as required.
I ask for as much notice as possible for orders and a minimum of two weeks is required for most .
It may be possible to produce ‘last minute’ orders as I aim to please but this will depend upon the design requirements and work load at the given time.
For further information regarding orders and enquiries about any of the information on the site please do not hesitate to contact me using the links provided and for regular updates sign up for my free monthly newsletter.
I hope you enjoy exploring the site and look forward to hearing from you.
About Julia :
My interest in Sugar craft began after the arrival of my daughter Jessica, now almost 5!!! I began, as most enthusiasts do, with a short hobby course at my local Adult Education Centre. Here I met Marjory my tutor for the first time, she saw some raw talent and encouraged me to do more. I joined the the local branch of the British Sugarcraft Guild and under Marjories wing developed some basic skills and became addicted to the craft. After 3 terms and a few enquiries from potential customers, Marjory encouraged me to apply to Tameside College and think about setting myself up in business. I was accepted at Tameside and met Barbara who was to be my tutor for the next two years. This is where things got serious! Barbara saw the same talent and potential in me and pushed me to my limits at times encouraging me all the way. Orders began to roll in, Barbara invited me to demonstrate at her sugarcraft group to help boost my confidence and before I knew the business was born.
I now produce high quality celebration cakes and hand made toppers for my customers, give demonstrations at various groups and have been involved recently with classes at a local school.
