Confection Perfection all began around 10 years ago with Humpty Dumpty: a character my son adores (or rather adored, he'll never forgive me, now 14!). Having made a special birthday cake that year, friends and family started to ask me to create similar cakes for other special occasions. It wasn't long before I converted this enjoyment and passion for baking into a full time career.

1500 weddings, 750 christenings, 300 corporate cakes, 2000 birthday's later, Confection Perfection, (now a strong team of ten!) continues to provide delicious hand made cakes to order.

A natural progression was the introduction of cake baking courses and workshops. Timing the courses in autumn and spring allows people time to develop their skills and the techniques ahead of Christmas, Weddings and any other celebrations!
