Thank you so much for designing and making my little boys 1st birthday cake! I absolutely loved it! Would definitely recommend The Cake Illustrator to anyone wanting a cake - I gave them an idea of what I wanted and my budget and they came up with the perfect cake. Friendly and professional service from start to finish. Everyone commented on how fab it was and it tasted good too! Thanks again!
Hi there!
We are Emma and Benj and we are The Cake Illustrator! I chose the name as the first few cakes worked on were hand painted and I found a passion in turning them into a small work of art.
My love of cake decorating was inspired by my Mother who spent many long hours when I was a child working on celebration cakes for friends and family. I loved, not only the process, but the joy that they gave people when they received something that had been worked on with such love and attention.
Although I went to University as a mature student and qualified with a First Class English Literature Degree, I knew that this was the business I truly wanted to be in, so when I had my son I also took the opportunity to complete a City and Guilds qualification in cake decorating taught by a lady who has received the MBE for her work in the field. I am currently taking a higher level qualification alongside working in the business and am putting what I am learning to good use by expanding my current repertoire even further.
I work from my kitchen at home in Morley, Leeds assisted by my husband, Benjamin Lewis, who is an ex Restaurant Manager for some of the top branded restaurants, and knows all about the standards necessary to create exceptional cakes. He now has a level 3 Patisserrie qualification under his belt and he's the flavour King!
Between us, we hope to make your cake dreams a reality so please call up and order from us today!
