Happy Clients

The moment we found Clare’s work we knew she was the one!…her absolute professionalism, timeliness, attention to detail and passion for her craft. Her sugar flower creations are pure beauty. They take your breath away. Our wedding cake was three (huge!) tiers of her Luscious Lemon cake, “zesty lemon sponge soaked with limoncello (one tier alcohol free), lemon curd and light vanilla buttercream”. Topped with the most beautiful handcrafted sugar peonies, blackberries, Italian ruscus foliage and hydrangea flowers. Our guests were even betting on whether the flowers were real or not.
The cake was an absolute delight, with the tastiest, softest, delicately flavoured sponge ever, a masterpiece.”

I’m so glad we came across Little Bear Cakery whilst hunting for our wedding venue and spotting one of her fabulous creations in the pictures. Clare made us the most stunning creation for our wedding day. Throughout the process she kept us up to date and provided us with sketches and discussed our floral option and colour scheme to make sure everything tied together. When we saw the cake on the day, we couldn’t even believe it. It was a stunner. And once we finally got to taste it, the day after, it was still delicious.

We loved having our wedding cakes made by Clare! She did two cakes for our wedding and both of them were perfect! We had a lavender & wild blueberry cake for our main wedding cake and a red velvet for our grooms cake…Cannot recommend Little Bear Cakery enough! Thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special!!!
