When I quoted my client for a custom cake, her jaw dropped! 💀

”You charge HOW much for a cake?!’”😳 - she looked at me like I’d asked her to give me her first born child

Me: pulls out the receipts like a lawyer in court
Here’s the tea and the math AKA the breakdown ☕🍰

But once I walked her through everything that goes into it she totally got it.

Ingredients, time, custom design … it all adds up

Let’s normalise pricing for skill, not just ingredients. 💅🎂

Knowing your worth isn’t rude. Explaining it isn’t begging.

Make sure you explain your value, don’t downplay it 👏

To my fellow cake artists: don’t shrink to fit a budget you can’t survive on ❤️

And if you have someone who says “Well what can I get for £30?”

…you can get a cupcake 🧁✨

I know you’re not meant to have favourites but I don’t think anything is ever gonna top this 😍

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

“They Say They Do Gluten Free…” Cross-contamination isn’t just a myth. It’s real. And it’s how you end up with a bloated wedding party and an angry group chat.

“They’re Not Registered or Insured” If your cake maker vanishes after the cake collapses, and they’re not insured — you’re not getting your money or your day back.

“They Say ‘Trust Me’… with No Hygiene Proof” I trust my dog. Doesn’t mean I want him making a three-tier.

“The Cake Looked Pretty… But Was It ALIVE?” True story: it was mouldy before they cut it. And no, that wasn’t a pistachio filling.

“They Do EVERYTHING” Pick someone who bakes cakes like it’s their religion. Not someone who also makes resin coasters and hamsters in hats.

“They’re Suspiciously Cheap” There’s a difference between affordable and “why does this taste like despair?” You get what you pay for.
 Your cake deserves better. Vet your baker. Ask questions. Check hygiene ratings. (Or just hire me — I like cake that doesn’t rot on the inside.)

If cake is my love language what are you picking as your food based answer? 🍰💕

9 years ago, I made my first gluten-free cake… and it was tragic 😅🫠

I wasn’t a professional baker. I was just someone who was tired of dry, dense, flavourless cakes being the only option 😩

That one terrible cake? It started everything 😍

I’ve spent years testing, failing, learning, and obsessing over how to make gluten-free cakes that actually taste good. Not just “good for gluten-free”… but just GOOD 🕺

And now, I get to make those cakes for others who felt like they were missing out 👯

This is why experience matters—GF baking isn’t just swapping flour, so if that’s you - stick around. You don’t have to settle 🎉

The best cake photos from Jemma + Young’s big day 💕

When Jeni came to me and said, “I want a disco skull wedding cake,” it was the stuff dreams are made of.

Literal glittering, slightly spooky, unhinged-in-the-best-way fever dreams.

And honestly? That’s exactly how it should be. Your wedding should scream YOU — in a colourful, chaotic, glitter-bomb sort of way.

Not just stand there quietly like a Victorian ghost holding a tiered fruitcake that no one actually wants to eat (sorry to anyone that got married in the 50s).
Want neon lights? Zombie figurines? A cake shaped like your dog riding a unicorn through a field of jellybeans?

YOUR 👏 WEDDING 👏 YOUR 👏 WAY

This is your day. Your weird, beautiful, gloriously offbeat love story deserves to be honoured with a cake that slays — not one that snoozes.

Sure traditional is cute. But being yourself?

That’s iconic 🪩✨

TMB is all about you and what you want and if that includes dietary requirements you need to cater for then the design, flavour and taste shouldn’t be compromised 🥳🎉

Am I funny or do all cake makers suffer from trauma 👀🤔

Callum + Kirsty asked me to create their favourite brownie + blondie flavours for their wedding 3 years ago and then Callum ordered 3 of each flavour for their 3 year wedding anniversary this weekend

Be more Callum, I promise there’s no better anniversary gift 😍🙌🏻

When Kate messaged me and asked if we could use part of their wedding cake to create something new for their baby boy it was such a special thing to be asked

To be able to be asked and to create something so important was such a privilege, meaning they could have exactly what they wanted along with the cake being gluten free and not having to compromise on anything they wanted

Along with this I’ve also made their gender reveal cupcakes + cake smash cake for their babies 1st birthday. To be a part of the most important milestones really is special.

Your cake, your way 💕

Get a cake maker who understands personally why it’s not just a cake and that free from cake shouldn’t taste like cake 🍰

The most incredible review from a cake this weekend 💕

It’ll always be so special to me that I’m able to create these moments for your most important celebrations 🎉

A little snapshot of all the cakes lately 💕🎂

If you’re still settling for a last-minute supermarket cake on your birthday, we need to talk. 🚨

You want something fun, something exciting—something that actually makes your celebration feel special. But instead, you’re either spending hours trying to DIY a cake (and stressing over the results) or grabbing a supermarket cake that’s packed with cheap ingredients just to make it last longer. And let’s be real… you taste the difference. 😬

The good news? It’s fixable. Instead of wasting your time on something meh, order a custom cake—one that’s made just for you, with real quality ingredients and real artistry. 🎂✨

Life’s too short for boring cake. Celebrate the right way—with something fun, delicious, and totally YOU. Because for your big day, you deserve the BEST. 💖

Who’s ready to upgrade their birthday cake game? 🎉👇

I know this might not sit well with everyone, but hear me out… 👀
you’re not paying for “just a cake” you’re paying for the skills, time, something unique entirely which is exactly what you can get when ordering a custom cake from TMB, not something full of preservatives and bashed up - I’m looking at you supermarket cakes 😅

And no theres nothing wrong with supermarket cakes but as a custom cake maker and business owner, when it comes to ingredients I won’t ever compromise on the quality of them and that is one of the reasons why when you get a TMB cake it’s worth it 🕺

A custom cake just for you, with your chosen design, your dietary requirements and favourite flavours? No brainer.

The cost of living is wild, stuff feels like it’s going up hugely overnight for everyone so maybe if a custom cake isn’t for you right now then get your bake on, have fun with it and enjoy it.
Or grab yourself a Colin and soak up all that 90s nostalgia 🐛

If you’d told me 8 years ago that 1. I’d have my own business 2. that being obsessed with creating a gluten free cake that tasted like actual cake would pay off 3. I’d be stocked all over Hertfordshire and post my bits all over the UK 4. Had incredible reviews from people just like me that were as cake obsessed, I wouldn’t have believed you 👀

Back then, I was working a job I hated, had no idea what I was doing in life after a bit of a breakdown, didn’t know someone like me could run a business and couldn’t believe how bad free from products were 🥲

Now? Let’s talk about the free from stuff, where it all started right up until now. That means that I’m here to make sure you get exactly what you want and not what you think you have to have or should have just because you’ve got dietary restrictions. Gluten free / free from girlies I am you, I’ve been there! Your cake your way 🕺🪩

This journey wasn’t instant, easy or perfect - but omg has it been worth it. If you’re in the ‘WTF am I doing’ phase, keep going. Future you is gonna be so damn proud 💕
