Pooch Wedding Cake
Shelagh & Steve
“Sorry for the delay in responding just been extremely busy. The cake was wonderful, Steve and I were both gobsmacked by it, the day went perfectly. We are hoping to keep the top piece if possible unfortunately Scout (b&w dog) had an accident with one of his legs (it snapped off) any clues on a) how to put it back on b) how to part it from the top layer? I will most definitely be using your services again Shelagh & Steve Payne”

Jewelled Hearts Wedding Cake
Claire & Shahid
“Amanda, thank you for such an amazing wedding cake. Not only did it look beautiful, it tasted absolutely divine! It was such an enjoyable experience spending time with you designing our cake. In fact, it was one of the things I enjoyed most during the wedding plan. I think Shahid lost interest a bit after 2 hours talking about icing, hearts and jewels but the cake tasting definitely made up for it. Thank you so much. Claire & Shahid”
100th Birthday Cake
Valerie
“Many thanks Amanda, Mum truly had a wonderful day. The cake had to be divided into approximately 60 pieces as so many extra people came, especially staff from the home, who came in on their day off! So your instructions were invaluable. I loved the clean, elegant lines of the cake. I’m so pleased to see it before it was cut as I totally forgot to take a photo. I will add it to the album. Out of interest the Queen no longer sends a telegram - it is a specially delivered card with a picture of her on the front and signed by her inside following a suitable appropriate message of congratulations. As Mum is a great fan of Her Majesty, she was thrilled! Many thanks, Val”.
Teaparty Birthday Cake
Dianne
“This stunning cake was ordered for my daughter’s 18th Birthday. I gave a brief description of what I wanted and what was created was beyond anything I could ever have imagined. The attention to detail and quality of finish was of an exceptionally high standard. I received friendly, personal and professional advice from the first consultation through to the delivery of my cake, which was delivered at the promised time and set up at the venue. The service I have received from Venus Cakes has been outstanding and I would not hesitate to recommend this company. This cake was such a work of art I did not want to cut it!!!”.

“Amanda, What can I say……. That cake was AMAZING! I knew you were good, but that was unreal. It was the conversation piece of the day and Philippa was so chuffed with it. Not only that but it was blooming yummy too. Everyone was asking about you on the day, so I’ve been handing out your website address. Next time I have a need for a cake, I’ll be in touch. Thanks again”.
Gucci Birthday Cake

Topsy Turvy Wedding Cake
Nicola Hoar
“Hi Amanda, we arrived back from our honeymoon today and I had to email you to tell you how amazing our wedding cake was! It was everything we wanted in appearance and the taste was divine! We havent tucked into our top tier yet but the vanilla and chocolate layers were heavenly, I could have sworn I was eating a chocolate brownie, it was soooo good! We have had loads of comments from our guests regarding how good the cake was and needless to say, there wasnt any pieces left over once cut, we have even had thank you cards that mention how yummy the cake was! We had a really fabulous day and the way the cake turned out just added to the day perfectly. Thank you so much for creating our vision”.

Cake Decorating Tuition

“What a wonderful day ! I had such fun with Amanda - making this wonderful cake for my son, learning tips and techniques for future cake making and enjoying a nice glass of wine! My friends and family were amazed at the results and I felt like I had created something beautiful for Archie ( with a little expert help from Amanda… ) The children loved the chocolate cup cakes and Archie just loved Iggle Piggle. He couldn’t wait to eat him!”

Sleeping Beauty Birthday Cake
Nikki Greaves
Hi Amanda,
“We just wanted to say a huge thank you for our “Sleeping Beauty” cake! We were absolutely gobsmacked when it arrived this morning before 8.00am and when we showed it to Suzi and her sisters it blew our world away! We are speechless at the effort and detail that you went into and cannot thank you enough for making today’s party go from a special 5th birthday to a phenomenal 5th birthday! We couldn’t pass the cake off as our own as when I tried our eldest daughter said “Mum the cake was delivered today before breakfast”! I got very caught out! We happily gave out your website address for other mums to try to claim that they could make cakes as well as you, but we know from our “Sleeping Beauty” cake that they don’t stand a chance!
Thank you again - ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!”
Charity Christmas Cake
Anne Brown
“Hiya my name is Anne, I am a Community Fundraiser for the Helen Rollason Cancer Charity. Huge ‘Thank You’ to Amanda, this was a fantastic cake, one of many that Amanda has done for me. I raffle these off at the Cressing Food Fayre which is always such a lovely event. Next one coming up in October, come and see us! Brilliant cakes! too good to eat!
Anne”
Stained Glass Birthday Cake
Claire Pye
“I’m the friend who asked for this cake and I’m so glad I did. A unique, hand-decorated cake is a fitting present for a glamorous 60 year-old and Amanda talked me through some ideas until we settled with the stained glass idea, which I would never have thought of. I like it because of the strong contrasting colours and glossy effect which made the cake stand out against the white tablecloth. A truly elegant cake. Thanks!”
Tiffany Birthday Cake
Jacqueline Nichols
“Hi Amanda
I cannot begin to tell you just how lucky I was to have found you. My mum’s Tiffany birthday cake was amazing. It looked so lovely it was a shame to eat it. The taste was incredible and compliments all round to the chef. I will only think of you for cake making in the future and recommend you to every body I know. Thanks again. Incredible talent.
Best regards, Jacqueline”

Cat Birthday Cake
Tracey
“I love my cake (such a unique design lol) and just love to study it. I will share it at some point just not yet! My actual cat Molly was fascinated, she was intrigued yet scared at the same time bless her.She went to sniff it, I moved it slightly then she scampered. She is a bit of a fruit cake herself! I can’t wait to taste it, just waiting for the time when we can put piccies online for people to smell and taste then there would be more for me! Friends have requested for me to send a piece in the post which could be a challenge! A huge thank you to both Rob and Amanda for your generosity and expertise.
Tracy (40!)”
Garden Birthday Cake
Michelle Hugkulstone
“Amanda,
The cake was stunning!
Photos just do not do it justice. ‘An edible work of art’. It was perfect - thank you. Sadly the parasol was damaged in transit so we had to improvise (my sister sewed a new one out of a serviette), so the overall effect was not lost.
Thanks again, Michelle”
Green Polka Dot Wedding Cake
Amy Langlois
“Amanda made me a stunning 5 tier wedding cake at very short notice! I think I was lucky to find her! She listened to my ideas and was quick to send through a design for my approval. It tied in with my theming perfectly. Her attention to detail was fantastic and the cake was everything I imagined it to be. She set it up for me at my wedding venue which I did not expect and was an added bonus and meant something less to worry about! Everyone commented on the cake which was really tasty! Thanks Amanda!”
Floral Wedding Cake
Tracy Magee
“Our wedding cake courtesy of Amanda at Venus Cakes couldn’t have been more perfect. It was exactly what we wanted and it was so nice to find somebody who would listen to what we wanted and work with that. Everybody at our wedding thought the cake looked and tasted lovely, simple and clean in design but stunning all the same. Thank you so much Amanda for the cake and the regular contact.
Sean and Tracy”
Bowser Birthday Cake
Cara Rumble
“This cake was designed by Amanda from a simple picture taken from the internet for my son, Teddy’s 5th Birthday party. The children at the party were really impressed and it made the party so much more special for Ted to have such a fuss made over his custom made cake. It was really delicious too!!”
Fairy Toadstool Birthday Cake
Samantha Clark
“My mum loved this cake, she screamed when she opened the box and she even filled up! We really didnt want to cut this cake, so we removed the top of the toadstool and have started cutting from the back so we can save the front design for as long as possible. The cake is delicious too and not at all sickly as some buttercreams can be a bit much. I am so pleased with this design, and it made my mums birthday, thanks so so much.”
Chocolate Curls Birthday Cake
Odette Borsten
“What the photos don’t show is just how delicious this cake was - somehow Amanda managed to make every element chocolatey without it being heavy or sickly - we devoured the entire cake over a weekend and it certainly helped to sweeten the blow of reaching the dreaded big three-oh!”
Polka Dot Birthday Cake
Jay Spillman
“Hi Amanda,
Thank you so much again for making this cake for me! It looked fabulous at my party and went down a treat! Truly delicious. I will definitely reccomend you to my family and friends.

Ribbon & Floral Wedding Cake
Alex Archard
“The wedding cake Amanda made for my daughter, had two mouth watering tiers of cherry and chocolate flavour cake and one traditional fruit tier, suiting all guests. The decorations on the cake co-ordinated with the colour theme of the wedding and it looked superb. Many guests commented on the flavour and the quality of the texture.”
Jewel Wedding Cake
Alison Irwin, Peckham
“The only guide Amanda had was a peek at my wedding dress, and she created the MOST stunning cake I or any or my guests had ever seen - and one which was completely in harmony with the spirit of the day. I knew I could completely trust her to come up with something magical, and when I saw the cake for the first time on the day at the wedding breakfast, my jaw hit the floor! Her mastery of sugarcraft is such that it looked more like an exotic piece of fine bone china than a cake - studded with jewels and gold, and certainly so magnificent that it looked too good to eat. But eat it we did, and a delicious rich fruit cake it was too - my husband and I are looking forward to the top tier which we saved for our first child which is now on the way…
Alison”
Heart Engagement Cake
Lauren & Gavin
“We just wanted to say how amazing this cake was! Everyone loved it and it was the centre piece that was pictured many times. It was so delicious and the sponge was perfectly moist and sooo tasty! Thank you Amanda for making us the best Engagement cake ever! Recommended to all!
All the best, Lauren & Gavin”
Cupcake Birthday Cake
Sam Clark, Chelmsford
“My cake was amazing, everyone said how lovely it was. It was a real centrepiece and tasted wonderful. My favourite was the chocolate but i had the vanilla cupcakes for those who arent such a fan. Amanda was great, she met me first to disucss what i wanted and then came up with this FAB design. Will definately ask her to do another cake for me.
Sam”

Naming Ceremony Cake
Julian, Nicky & Perdy, London
“Amanda made this wonderful cake for our daughters naming ceremony; we were so pleased with the results. The look was fabulous, stylish, original and done so skilfully, just what we wanted. Amanda was great at suggesting things and was really professional through out. What’s more the cake was truly delicious.
Yummm! Julian
Volcano Birthday Cake
Sally Richardson, Windsor
“Well, the Dinosaur cake was THE main event at my Son’s 6th birthday party. He was absolutely bowled over by it and so were all his little friends. To the adults, it seemed a shame to demolish such a work of art, but the kid’s had no such qualms!! And, even better, it tasted as good as it looked! thanks to Amanda, who really took a vague ‘Dinosaur’ theme from me and turned it into Jurassic Volcano Land, complete with Dinosaurs. Amanda was professional and helpful throughout and took the greatest care to ensure this difficult ’structure’ was delivered on time and intact. I would recommend her work highly. Thanks Amanda for making it such a special 6th birthday.
Sally Richardson”
Mighty Boosh Birthday Cake
Angela Wlison, Colchester
“This cake was for my daughter’s 18th birthday. After her initial shock at a cake, she was very impressed with the whole design, as were her friends. It took a day or so to persuade her to cut, but it was a lovely moist, light cake, which she begrudged anyone eating! If she could have preserved it she would have done. I would hightly recommend Venus Cakes, and would certainly use them again. Thank you.”
