In this issue of Community Update, we are delighted to select Cake Boutique for our Commitment to Excellence Award for 2024.
Designed and baked from scratch, Cake Boutique is the brain child of Deborah Massey who started baking from a young age and never looked back. Collaborating her love for baking and qualifications in art and design, Deborah combined the two in 2010 and the rest was history. Deborah handmakes all her own sugar flowers, and is consistently in the development stage of creating more varieties of wedding cake.
“I started out started baking novelty cakes and the company seemed to develop very quickly. The ‘Cupcake Craze’ boosted many bakeries growth as well as my own. I think that trend really set my business off on its feet and as I was already making cakes for family from my own kitchen, the business has just grown year on year since,” said Deborah.
Whatever time of year it is, the demand for bespoke wedding cakes is always at an all-time high. As one of Cake Boutique’s specialities, we asked Deborah about her wedding and special occasion services.
“When we receive the initial concept and idea from the clients, I always offer a cake consultation. This consists of me usually going to meet them to discuss the cake in more detail. I always take different samples of wedding cake for them to try too. Once the dates have been agreed in advance, on the day of their wedding or special occasion I personally take the cake to the venue and set it up for them.”
Of course, Deborah can cater to many other life events that call for cake too.
From the classic Victoria Sponge to more unusual requests such as Donuts, Cupcake Towers, Harry Potter themed tier cakes, cakesickles and geohearts: Deborah does it all. Whether you’re after a themed cake for an anniversary, birthday, celebration or event, Cake Boutique can make and design anything that you require. From a naked cake baked and designed for Bannatyne Spa Hotel to little easter bunny biscuits for Easter treats, Cake Boutique serves a wide variety of customers.
“I would say that every baker has their own style and that’s what makes us all unique in what we can offer. For me, I create elegant, pretty cakes that are clean in their presentation but I also have the skills to create and design something completely crazy. I love a challenge and I am always up for something different, and that’s why I love baking so much!” added Deborah.
