My daughter and neice had a lovely morning at the Cup Cake decorating workshop for under 16's. They rated it 10/10 and said it was fabulous! The proprietor Tracey delivered a fantastic session - we will definately come again. Thank you Tracey.
My girls went to the Hallowe’en cupcake Decoration Class. They absolutely loved it! Brilliant time had by all so much so we’ll book the Christmas one too!
Thanks so much and so lovely to meet you Tracy x
Thanks for the very tasty red velvet cupcakes. They were just what I wanted.
Great eggless red velvet cake, designed how we wanted it and tasted amazing, will definitely be ordering again soon!!!!
Only been in twice now but soooooo gonna go in as often as I can. The Victoria Sponge is to die for!!
Tracey was so lovely and welcoming when I visited her shop for the fist time recently- it's a lovely bright space and great addition to the area! I loved the quality of the products available and the ethnically diverse wedding cake figures - coffee was great too! Will be visiting again soon, not only as a break out space but she has some really interesting sellout workshops that I'd love to be part of.
Really delicious apple and almond cake and latte! Great having this on the door stop!
Amazing. Cakes are great! The home made mince pies were incredible, and Tracey is a lovely host.

Absolutely wonderful cakes and a lovely proprietor!
Delicious cake and extremely friendly service. Will definitely be going back and looking forward to trying lots more tasty treats!
Made chocolate cupcakes for my son's birthday. Absolutely fantastic!
Had a fantastic day the cakes were delicious and atmosphere lively and comfortable. Met some really nice people for the first time, and felt as if i had know them for ages. Think this is now gonna be one of my regular haunts. Well done Essence of Cake your people's skills certainly shun through today. You made me feel totally relaxed and very welcome. See you again next week for more cake/tea and that community spirit.
Amazing monster cake for my son’s birthday - Tracey advised the size and it was definitely ample. Honestly this cake was the centrepiece of our celebration!
I asked Tracy for Boss Baby Pop cake's for a friend of mine in Ireland, Tracy made them exactly as the photos given to her. Everyone said that they were delicious and how good they were. All the way to Ireland and everyone perfect. I can't praise Tracy enough. She is just fantastic 😍
Marcus Bishop Associates recently engaged Essence of Cake UK to provide us with cup cakes for our team development day. The cup cakes were superb on all fronts; taste (say no more!!), presentation and our logo. Moreover the whole process from our initial engagement of Essence of Cake UK, to the collection of the cup cakes was seamless. We have definitely found our new cake partner/provider in Tracey and Essence of Cake UK!
Tracey kindly made me a gluten free honey cake for my partner's birthday. It isn't even a cake she'd made before but being the artist she is Tracey was up for the challenge. My partner was really pleased with his cake and scoffed two slices right off the bat! Thank you Tracey!

In my childhood I would bake leading onto an interesting family business of working as a pastry chef, during this time I baked wedding cakes, desserts that got into the good pub food guide UK and more importantly getting experience in how a good cake tastes.
I had ordered two cakes from Tracey with one for my own birthday and one for my partner’s; to say that my expectations as both a customer and a former chef were met is an understatement.
My partner described their cake as
‘So good that I want to eat more despite I am completely full’
I would add to that
‘This baker creates wonderful creations both artistic and flavoursome’
Honestly I am a little envious of how well together these cakes are, the crumb is golden brown, texture has a great mouth feel and bite. Icing is wonderfully artistically put evenly throughout and the flavours are spot on, as a former chef I cannot stress how wonderful the cakes are and how thoroughly I would recommend them.
If you have any excuse to order a cake from Essence of Cakes, take a sweet day and enjoy a marvellous taste experience, I would personally recommend a stunning strawberry and cream flavour cake as a great start before you realise you need to order from them for every event.
Thank you Tracey and Essence of Cake
Deaglan Wardman-Furey,
A very happy customer.
I've had the luxury of having multiple birthday cakes, cupcakes and enjoyed the afternoon tea provided by Essence of Cake and I can truly recommend the outstanding culinary skills. Everything tastes devine.
The cake was made for my partners 30th birthday and it was incredible. Essence of cake really understood the brief and exceeded expectations. I can’t thank you enough
I've had three courses with Tracey, two wilton courses and one bespoke. Tracey is very knowledgeable and extremely talented. She is relaxed and fun to be around, I've enjoyed every single course with her. All Tracey needs to now is to do is full patisserie courses (yes thats a hint lol)
Tracey was brilliant! I booked her to for a cupcake decorating sessions for a group of young people and they ALL loved it. She was organised, professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. I will be using her services again for sure.
Definitely recommend this place for cakes and desserts. Requested a wedding cake with special requests under tight deadlines but they were more than happy to oblige. The cake was better than we had expected, tasted really good, gave us advice on what would be good in terms of ingredients and designs.
