Hi, I’m Stephanie!

I have a Fine Art degree and spent nine wonderful years teaching Art & Design in schools. Creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do - whether in the classroom or in the kitchen.

I’ve loved baking for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always been “the cake lady” for family and friends. Lockdown, for many of us, became a rare chance to slow down and learn something new. For me, it was the moment I finally had time to deepen my passion for cake decorating. I practised, watched countless tutorials, and found myself completely absorbed in the craft.

Baking has always been part of my life, especially because I use my dad’s secret sponge recipe from the 80s - I swear by it! Every time I make it, my clients tell me how delicious the sponge is, and it means so much to keep that little piece of family history alive in my work.

Alongside teaching, I continued baking for years, but this year I decided to follow my heart: I left the classroom and stepped into the kitchen full-time. It’s been the most exciting leap, and I’m truly grateful for every single order that comes my way.

Bespoke cakes have always been at the core of Stephanie Bakes, but I now also offer themed cakes if you’re looking for a little inspiration. If you already have an idea in mind - or even if you’re not sure where to start - just click below to make an enquiry. I’d love to create something special for you.

With love,

Stephanie
