Anges de Sucre

This absolutely beast of a cake is way more than what Snow White and her seven dwarves can handle ( ) and even mum would be defeated. Layers and layers and layers and layers of chocolate, pistachio creme and pistachio chocolate cake pops.
Whom would you smash this cake with?! Tag em! 💚 🤎

This 💯 buttercream floral bouquet took hourssssss and I’m so pleased with it. A mix of piped chrysanthemums, roses, hydrangeas, peonies, some flower whose name I’ve forgotten. I’ve been practicing buttercream flowers for years but it’s the first time I’ve put it all together and I’m going to be obsessed with this style for a while I reckon! Would anyone like tutorial reels on which piping tips and the technique on here?

Also, if unfollowing, you reallllly don’t have to announce it 😂

Happy Diwali 🪔 to everyone celebrating!
It’s been a year of a lot of firsts for me - personally and professionally.
This time last year we upped and moved out of London (after 22 years in the big smoke!) to the countryside in Surrey.
I passed my driving test and got my first car and got myself a Costco membership!
I turned 40!
I got my British citizenship!
I went on my first holiday abroad since the pandemic on my first ever all inclusive holiday and it was incredible!
Both my businesses have been featured in the Times, DM, Telegraph, Guardian and the BBC!
I hosted my first Xmas workshop and started doing school visits and hosting cake decorating parties!

Sorry for all the exclamation marks - it’s almost overwhelming thinking about how much has changed over a year.

Love and light to all 🪔

Ahhhh it’s these moments that keep me going 🥰🥰🥰

So makes up for the week I’ve had! 😅😅😅

My gofundme for my therapist is available on the website. Buy any cake to contribute towards it.

Snow White and the seven dwarves are technically 8 adults. On behalf of dwarves, I’m offended at the patronising assumption that they would have small appetites.

I want to bring Mary out of retirement. Actually no, I want to retire 😂

Some of our customers are well weird…

Nobody orders this. And then someone does 🙃

(We love weirdos).

Ya cake lady is in talking about multi-tasking, hustling, side hustling, and how I seemingly have lots of plates spinning a la meme temps. Thanks for featuring my mug

Ps: anyone else have one eye significantly smaller than the other? Just me? There’s no fix for this is there 🫠

Oh the LOLz. Someone must’ve seen how I felt about number 4s last week and ordered this. Well played.
Ps: I ❤️ 0s and 7s 😅😂

Swipe to see the cakes! The Zog cake was made on Friday, delivered on Sat, serves on Tues. I was turtle heading so much worried about the cake being delivered okay because the zog cake topped with Princess P and Sir G on his back was hench and so heavy. Even though they were dowelled and had a billion cocktail sticks holding them in place I was a stress mess. So to hear from the customer and getting this review meant the WORLD ahhhhh.
Magic of Hero Sponge 🥰🥰🥰🧡🧡🧡

Big 5-0 number cake.
The fives, fours and possibly threes are the hardest to frost and takes me 2 more hours than the zeros and sevens 🙃🙃🙃

What’s better than a jar of pistachio crack creme? A pistachio crack creme jar filled with cake duh. Layers of pistachio hero sponge, SMBC, chopped pistachios and pistachio crack creme.

I’ve got one spare. If this post goes viral I’ll happily pick one of y’all in the UK and post it to ya! so save this post if you wanna make this later, drop your thoughts in the comments, and tag your mates whom you’d share this with.

If it doesn’t go viral, I’ll just continue being depressed and eat it myself.

Also, there’s a WHOPPING 20% off exclusive Hero Sponge Mugs! The best cake recipe, on a MUG! Use the code HEROMUGDAY at check out, and if you get multiples you save buck$$$$$$ on shipping. So go on, get Xmas ready with the best non-spenny, non-naff gift xoxo

How much is too much for a slice of cake?
Croissants in London have reached £7.
Cupcakes have reached £7.50.
A slice of cake … £24?
(Not forgetting the 12%+ service charge at the end…)

What are your thoughts? Have you got any answers to my questions?? 🍰

The internet feels like a nice place today! ❤️ a special bar mitzva cake made for a regular customer ✡️

When I get feedback emails that are more than two lines my heart falls out of my sphincter. And NGL, the beginning of this email had my heart making its way down. But wowwww what a plot twist 😅

It’s getting harder and harder with costs, and we know our prices are punchy. I wish we could be cheaper and be more accessible but to maintain the standard in quality AND provide the service we do AND run as a business, it’s more of a challenge than a bushtucker trial.

I’m so appreciative for all our wonderful customers who choose us, support us, keep our lights on, send us wonderful photos and emails. ❤️

Good morning! Do you see what I see? 🎂

3” lil mini b!tchling cakes on extra special order. Cuz you wouldn’t be able to get me to make them unless you’re a bestie.

Edit: so sorry, I meant to say Southport, not Stockport. Sorry! Typing faster than I think.

I was so excited for my “citizenship party”. Kebabs, samosa chaat, butter chicken pie, gulab jamun trifle. All my friends and family would then have to do my special super fun pub quiz - the Life in the UK test, to prove their eligibility to be British.
But for now, I’ve kept plans on ice, and instead of going into town for a fun day out am just gonna have this mini citizenship cake between me and X-Ray. 🇬🇧

It’s tough out there for us small businesses. Summer months, higher costs, higher business rates and all sorts are making a few of us sweatttttt. As much as we’d love your cash money and custom, spending isn’t the only way to help businesses. And neither is charity nor pity purchases.

I am so appreciative of each paying customer obviously, but showing support doesn’t have to cost a penny and helps us small uns sooooo much.

These are the 3 easiest ways to support us without having to spend money. ❤️

Please try and make a habit of supporting your fave small businesses. It costs nothing and actually makes an impact 🤗

Swipe through for a cringe confession. My innards are literally cringed out.
And if you’ve ever spoken to Mary, I’m so sorry 🙈

Ricky Rodent and Rita Rodent inspired cakescape for big and little sis. The brief was two rainbow cakes, famous rodents, pastel pink and blue with vintage tones, rainbows and bubbles.
Cakescapes always make me break a sweat and I absolutely love this one 🌈 🩵🩷

Box of Pistachio 4inchers. Posh pistachio, rose pist, choc pist truffle, and baklava 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Apologies to all bakers for cleaning Costco out of pisti

This croquembouche is probably what “made” us. It’s been on the cover of TimeOut, helped us get crowned as one of London’s best bakeries, it went viral online before the days of TikTok, and is still one of our customer faves after all these years. It’s OTT, takes forever to make, HEAVY, and a tooth shakingly nerve wrecking thing to deliver but I LOVE it.
What would you pick off first??

We would LOVE to sponsor your event or by gifting our brand new cake. It’s the perfect blend of flavours and textures - sweet and savoury, soft and crunchy. It’s high protein. It’s striking. And it’s incredibly instagrammy. Do slide into DMs with your details!

My mug was in the times yesterday. 24 hours in my day…are not the same as Beyoncé’s 😅

One of the best reviews we’ve read 😍
Look, 13 years and counting of running this cake business, and I’ll be brutally honest, it’s reviews and feedback that keep me going.
Everyday is a draaaaaggggggg, especially when every other email landing in my inbox is a supplier warning of higher ingredients prices, utilities bills and my daily news roundups of how awful the world is. So when a good review lands, I literally get enough juice to get going for the rest of the week.

Thank you! If you’ve received a good product and service from a small business, please review them. I promise you, they’re feeling the same way as me ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
