What started as birthday cakes for family turned into a proper little bakery in Westhoughton, Bolton. Every order still comes out of the same home kitchen, and Julie bakes each one herself — no production line, no van from a factory.
She'll happily talk through ideas before you commit, whether you arrive with a colour swatch and a Pinterest board or nothing more than "she loves horses".
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most cakes. Last-minute requests are worth asking about — sometimes there is a gap in the diary.
Julie is happy to work from a photo as inspiration, then adapt it to your flavours, size and budget rather than copying it exactly.
No. Julie doesn't bake gluten-free, dairy-free or any other free-from cakes. The kitchen handles wheat, egg, dairy, soya and nuts, so traces can never be ruled out.
Four things: the flavour you'd like, how many servings, any design, inspiration or photos, and the message you want written on the cake. Sending all four in your first message saves a lot of back and forth.
Pricing follows size and detail. Celebration cakes start from £50 for a 6 inch; the menu page lists the full guide prices, which exclude decorations and toppers. Julie confirms an exact quote once she knows the design.
No — cakes are collection only, from Julie's home kitchen in Westhoughton, Bolton. Yours will be boxed and ready, with a little care sheet for keeping it fresh.
Bright, sharp images with the subject close to the camera print best. Send the original file rather than a screenshot if you can.
