Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Professional and bespoke

We found Vintage Cake Fairy at the wedding fair hosted at Carlton Towers Estate.
Her enthusiasm and skills were exactly what we were looking for.
During our consultation meeting, her professionalism and enjoyment of the job was infectious, which led to a very creative discussion of what was achievable and the level of detail she could achieve.
On the day of the wedding, she delivered the cake and it was definitely a show stealer. It was exactly what we hoped for and if we ever needed another cake like this, we know who we'd approach. We've recommended her to others multiple times and would highly recommend her services.

Thank you for making our big day so special and perfect!

We are a couple living in the United States and we just had our destination wedding in the UK. We had Karen as our cake artist since she's recommended by our venue Carlton Towers and she can do butter cream cake finish. We are so glad we chose her! She's very communicative, always friendly and encouraging. Throughout the conversations, she asked about our preference and then sent over her sketch. We also asked her to do a little figure for our dog Walnut and she did an amazing job! As for the flavors, we couldn't go to the UK to taste it before our wedding so we absolutely trusted her. We took her recommendation and had Lemon drizzle (8"), Rich chocolate (6"), and Coffee (4"). I would say lemon drizzle was the best! Highly recommend!

Incredible person, flavours and artistry!

My partner and I met Karen at one of our first Wedding Fayres even before we had confirmed with our venue. When we saw her reveal cake design we were instantly sold and booked her around 16 months before our wedding, alongside picking up some of her amazing wedding cake samples to try.

After a few emails back and forth throughout those 16 months, we were invited to a design consultation, where Karen took some of our ideas and began to sketch what our cake could look like - these sketches were an art in themselves!

Once we confirmed our design choices, Karen offered a couple of ideas that really enhanced our cake - including the addition of a friendship bracelet on our Taylor Swift tier! The other addition we had was of our gorgeous beagle, Basil, who Karen beautifully captured in icing form and was a highlight for our guests.

We opted for vanilla and strawberry for our largest tier, then chocolate, salted caramel and gluten free lemon.

Our guests were amazed by the reveal design and once we turned the cake around they immediately came up to take photos - we had fantastic comments all night for all the flavours of cake and our gluten free guests were thrilled at the lemon option and comments that it was one of the best cakes they'd had.

We cannot thank Karen enough for her help and the most amazing cake we could have asked for. Thank you so much for making our day special 🩷
