    Thank you so much for the amazing cake for my husbands 60th birthday, I gave you a rough idea of what he likes and your design was perfect. It was a shame to cut into it! It tasted as good as it looked. Thanks again xx

    Had a cake made for my boyfriends 21st birthday and it was everything we wanted it to be. I have Geraldine a list of things my boyfriend liked and she found a way to include it all! My boyfriend absolutely loved it and everyone at the party was giving compliments to it. Not only did it look good but it tasted amazing as well!!! Thank you so much.

    We were so thrilled with our cake from Thelwall Bakehouse for my mum's 70th birthday. Geraldine was great to communicate with and understood exactly what I was thinking. The cake was beautiful and tasted delicious. Would highly recommend them.

Every cake starts with your vision

Themes are my speciality. Whether it's a favourite hobby, a football team, a TV show, a colour palette, or something completely one-of-a-kind - I'll work closely with you to bring it to life. Bring me your ideas and I'll let you know what's possible. No theme is too ambitious.

Milestone birthdays are our speciality

Whether it's a 30th, 40th, 50th, or 60th, milestone birthdays deserve a cake that feels truly personal. I'll work with you to create something that reflects the person - their hobbies, passions, or personality - so every detail feels just right.

Made to order, worth the wait

Every cake I make is bespoke - there are no pre-made options here. I'd recommend getting in touch as early as you can, especially around summer birthdays and the Christmas period when demand is highest. That said, I always do my best to accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to drop me a message even if the date is soon. I make cakes to order across Warrington and the Northwest.

Prices vary depending on size, tiers, and design complexity. Get in touch with your date and requirements for a personalised quote.

Common questions

  • How much does a birthday cake cost?

    Prices vary depending on size, the number of tiers, and design complexity. A 6" single-tier cake starts from £75, with more detailed designs priced accordingly. Get in touch with your date and requirements and I'll come back to you with a personalised quote.

  • How far in advance should I order?

    Please order at least 6-8 weeks in advance where possible, and earlier for summer birthdays and the Christmas period when I get booked up quickly. That said, I always try to accommodate last-minute orders where I can - just drop me a message and I'll let you know my availability.

  • Can I choose my own flavour?

    Absolutely - I offer a wide range of flavours including vanilla, chocolate, lemon, almond, salted caramel, carrot, and more. If you have a favourite that's not on the list, just ask. Visit the flavours page to see the full menu.

  • Do you cater for dietary requirements?

    Yes - I can accommodate a range of dietary needs including gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options. Just let me know when you get in touch and I'll do my best to make sure everyone can enjoy a slice. Everything is made in my home kitchen, which also handles nuts, gluten, dairy and eggs, so I can't guarantee any bake is completely free from them.

  • Can I collect the cake?

    Collection from my home in Thelwall, Warrington - I'll arrange a convenient time with you once your order is confirmed. I only deliver for weddings, civil ceremonies and vow renewals.

  • Do you make photo cakes or edible image cakes?

    Yes - I can incorporate edible photo prints into birthday cake designs. If you'd like to include a photo, just send it over when you get in touch and I'll advise on what works best for your chosen design.
