Heartsease Cakes was established in 2006 and has been consistently delivering beautiful, tasty luxury, bespoke cakes for a growing number of valued clients all around their region and beyond.
With a growing number of people for whom cakes have been created for many years’ worth of celebrations, mother and son team Nadine & Drew have a real passion for making amazing cakes, and really enjoy the challenges and pleasures that creating unique cakes for people gives them.
When Nadine and Drew set up the business, it was with what some may say is an old-fashioned idea – namely that a business should put you (the customer) first, with your pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction being essential to them.
In short, giving excellent service.
This excellence in service begins with taking the best ingredients and using reliable recipes that deliver the great flavours they are renowned for.
Combined with creative designs and a real passion for creating cakes, all put together to create cakes that taste as good as they look!
SERVICE & CONSULTATION
When looking to create great cakes the consultation is at the heart of it, and we like to make it as pleasurable as possible. To ensure the best results we will ask you some information prior to our meeting so we can be prepared to make the most of the time together.
We will want to know what cake samples you will want to try and therefore if there are any allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements we need to know about. This gives you the opportunity to sample your preferred cake flavours safely.
We will also want to know the time, date and location of your event, the number of guests and whatever theme or colours you are working with. We will want to know what flower types, style of cake or any other decoration you want included in your cake.
If you have colour swatches, fabric, lace or invitation cards to help us get the best feel for what you are planning for the event, that would also be helpful.
Then over a cuppa in our lovely relaxing consultation room, we can discuss your cake, taste the samples and for the duration you have my undivided attention, so it is all about you and your cake! Following on from the consultation we will get our design hats on and design your dream cake.
Once you are happy with the design, we book you in and the deposit is required.
There is a non-refundable consultation cost of £XXX which becomes part of the deposit when the cake gets booked.

SIGNATURE FLAVOURS
Our signature flavours are a result of the marriage of the best ingredients sourced as local as possible and really good recipes with some passion from us.
We can create equally great tasting cakes for those with allergies to Gluten and/or dairy, as well as nut allergies. We also make cakes for vegans.
For those without a dairy allergy, most of our cake flavours can be covered in a luxurious rich ganache coating, instead of the American frosting, before covering in the best quality Fondant.

DESIGN
When designing a cake, it comes down to three areas of consideration, and not all three will be required on all cakes.
In some cases, it is all about the sugar flowers and the cake is there to place them on. Other cakes are the star of the show and there is little or no need for flowers.
These are facts which will have been discussed at the consultation and brought into our design ideas.
