My Story
Hi! I'm Alison Baker!
I'm a wife, mother to three grown-up children and also a baker...
I spent over 20 years teaching but in 2020 decided to turn my baking hobby into a career.
I've always loved seeing the joy a beautiful birthday cake or a tasty chocolate brownie can bring to my family and friends and now hope you can enjoy my bakes too.

The Bakes
I bake desserts and cakes for all occasions - birthday cupcakes to "I fancy something sweet", wedding cakes to dinner party desserts.
​
Each bake is created with you in mind - tell me your favourite flavours and the occasion and together we can work out the perfect sweet treat for you...

Testimonials
"Alison kindly made the wedding cake for my daughters wedding. The wedding needed to feel like a country wedding so we asked for a more natural theme for the cake rather than a formal version. Oh boy, did Alison deliver. The pictures cannot do it justice. It looked great and people commented on how delicious it was. 2 tiers of carrot cake and one of chocolate so pleased everyone. It's so good when someone listens to a request and then exceeds your expectations. Great job!"
Sara Harrison Osborne
"Alison has made celebration cakes for us on several occasions and she never fails to deliver! Her cakes are amazing - really moist and tasty and beautifully and skillfully decorated. Alison is a very talented lady and an absolute pleasure to deal with. My birthday cake this year was an absolute triumph (and didn't last very long!)"

Thank you for creating a magical pavlova and helping me bring a slice of Aussie fun to the table for Christmas 2021! Everyone said it was the best they’d ever tasted. Thanks also for responding so quickly and being so speedy to offer to help, and fitting me in during a busy time of year.

"I was thrilled to receive a birthday cake created by Alison - delicious lemon and elderflower sponge with beautiful dried flower decorations. Perfect for sharing with my family. I would definitely recommend.."
Jenny Simons
"Alison is the most fantastic baker. She puts so much thought, care and expertise into all her cakes and desserts which never disappoint. I’ve eaten too many to mention of her sumptuous creations. However two of the most fantastic were a pineapple and star anise chiffon cake which was so light with the most delicious flavour. The second, for chocolate lovers, were chocolate brownies, not. just ordinary brownies, they had an added flavour of ginger, not overpowering, but in the exact amount to give a special added twist.
So to summarise Alison is a truly great baker who always delivers above and beyond your taste bud expectations. I highly recommend her."
