CELINE'S HOME MADE BAKES

Witham

Hello and Welcome!
I’m Celine and I am the founder of Celine's Home Made Bakes and I started this business in May 2021.

I make all your gorgeous and yummy cakes from my 5* kitchen at home. All the cakes I bake are bespoke and tailored to suit your individual theme, taste and style. To accompany the delicious cakes I also handcraft sugarpaste flowers, and other decorative designs.

My aim on every cake is to create a breath taking centre piece, with sharp edges and a flawless finish piece of art.

Starting my own business was the best decision I have ever made, as I have achieved a massive dream of mine. Since starting this business I have developed skills I never knew I had, such as sugar craft and achieving the perfect finish on my cakes.

I learned these skills through tutorials, and practising each element continuously until they looked perfect. Hand made sugar flowers are my favourite thing to make to accompany any cake, as it's the best feeling to get amazing reactions from my couples.

I have adapted recipes to suit my way of baking and to create the standard height (approximately 5") for each tier.

Cake styles

There are 3 styles of cakes that you can chose from to match your theme and venue.
Fondant cakes are the most stable out of all 3 options available as there's a layer of white chocolate ganache underneath the fondant which dries firm. This style you can add any decoration and designs to create your dream wedding cake. This style is great in the warmer temperatures during the summer but heatwaves will be an exception.

Full buttercream finish is one of the most popular styles that I offer as couples prefer the taste to buttercream than fondant. This style covers the cake fully like the fondant style but has limitations to the decorations that you can add to it. The cake doesn't have to have a smooth finish either, it can have a scalloped edge or a very rustic finish to add some texture to the cake. This cake doesn't like hot temperatures so an A/C unit or a fridge to store the cake in to keep the cake chilled.

Semi naked finish is also a very popular style as this cake has a very thin layer of buttercream around the cake, so you can still see the cake through the buttercream. This style doesn't have many decoration options as the semi naked style is the design. You can add flowers and a topper to create your vision. This style also doesn't like warm temperatures so an A/C unit or a fridge to store the cake in will help keep the cake firm and perfect.
