When you're shopping around for your wedding cake, you need to be sure that you're getting a great quality product and a cake that is as unforgettable as your wedding day.
Our mission is to produce delicious, original and truly memorable centrepieces to mark such a special occasion.
We hope to hear from you so we can collaborate on your own unique design.
Each design we create starts with you. Your ideas, your style and colours, your individual personalities all contribute to the final creation. We work with you from the outset to identify what it is you want from your own wedding centrepiece.
Even if you don't have any ideas, we can help you to establish what it is you like and don't like and, ultimately, enable you to visualise a design you're going to love!
YORKCakes' service offers our design consultation services, tasting appointment and is completely inclusive of delivery and set-up at your wedding venue.
For a fully iced and decorated cake, our prices start at £500 for a three tier, custom-created wedding cake. The more contemporary 'naked' cakes start from £295 and macaron displays start from £350.
Kate is passionate about perfection and her meticulous attention to detail ensures your cake is every bit as amazing as you'd hoped! She was inspired to start baking by her grandma at the tender age of four and, drawing on her background in art and design, started YORKCakes in 2009. Since then, with many years of experience and her innovative approach, Kate has developed her own unique style which includes many accomplished techniques in sugarcraft and sugar flowers.
And with new developments always around the corner, Kate keeps up to date with the latest products and styles so we're always able to offer you delicious cakes and truly unique designs.
Kate also owns and runs YORK Cookery School along with her husband, Fraser and a fantastic team of chefs, tutors and kitchen support staff. YORKCakes is based at the Cookery School which provides enough space and the appropriate environment to create and store cakes.
YORK Cookery School offers classes in all areas of cooking from Thai Street Food, Spanish Tapas and Italian classes to Chocolate making and French Patisserie (as well as baking and cake decorating, of course!). The team are dedicated to providing a first-class experience and making sure you leave with lots of new skills as well as the food you've made.
At YORKCakes, we like to think we can meet all your cake needs. From the traditional to the more unusual, tiered cakes to cupcakes, carved cakes to macarons; it's your opportunity to be as creative as you like. The creative brief is your opportunity to tell us exactly what you'd like. It may even help you to identify what you really want or even give you some ideas!
