Suzy Blake Cake Atelier

Sues cakes are delicious! and her wedding cakes are beautiful. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this lovely lady with a real talent for producing amazing cakes.

Absolutely stunning cakes. Sue’s attention to detail is second to none and her sugar flowers are amazing. Everything is homemade including her preserves etc.. She has gifted talent. Truly outstanding!

Suzy’s afternoon tea is the absolute best!

Suzy made a fantastic celebration cake for my wife's 60th at the end of Feb 2022. We all loved it, not only was it stunning to look at (and it received many admiring comments) but it was extremely delicious. I have no problem in recommending Suzy.

Our wedding cake was outstanding! It was everything we dreamed of and more, all of our guests commented on how beautiful and delicious the cake was! Suzy has been amazing from start to finish, keeping in touch on a regular and making the wedding process stress free. I cannot recommend Suzy enough- thank you for making our day so special.

The cake tasted nice. However the process and communication was very frustrating to the point I just gave up in the end. She made me feel uncomfortable, as if I was being pushy, which I was absolutely not, When asking questions. I would just received a new invoice (containing no answers) to ‘sign and return’. When I tried to discuss the final plan, with regards to what design and flavours I would like, Suzy replied using statements like ‘you will have’ and I honestly found her rude and dismissive. I wanted to actually enjoy the process but it wasn’t possible.
The cake itself looks very basic. My guests said it looked like ‘a fake cake you have for show’. It was completely unfinished on the top- There was a small hole in centre of the icing which was strange and the gold leaf was not across the top. As if something was missing?
I did send pictures of my flowers (for colour and type) and a cake inspiration from her own sight. To combine the style of the three tear inspiration cake with the two tall tears I was wanting, and colour and variety of flower for my day. The gold leaf was probably covering around a third of the overall inspiration cake, through 3 tiers. So I expected a similar ratio of gold leaf and white icing between the two tall layers of my cake, but instead there was maybe an inch of gold leaf around the very tip of the two edges of my 16inch cake. It looked very unbalanced and budget.
I said I would like flowers like the photo of her cake, but the style and colour of my bouquet, and was told ‘you will have one main flower….’ Etc. and wouldn’t discuss. Every response was a statement, she asked no questions. I honestly just don’t understand why? Her cakes look amazing through her instagram and we also had 160 macarons and paid over £1200. The most disappointing outcome. I regret choosing her. I understand what work goes into creating special wedding cakes and I was happy to pay what that costs. But honestly i found it unprofessional and did not get what I wanted at all. Because I was left feeling taken back by responses and I just didn’t know how to reply politely to such abrupt closed statements.

I wanted to treat my partner on Mothers Day
I had been recommended to Suzy by a previous customer.
I looked on the website which directed me to the Afternoon tea packages.
I ordered a afternoon tea for 2.
Suzy went the extra mile and offered delivery even though it was a bit outside her area.
When the Afternoon tea arrived the delivery driver was professional and wished my partner happy mothers day which was a nice touch.
But the best bit was the AMAZING food fresh sandwiches packed full of flavour and the cakes were out of this world!!!!😊
I will definatly use Suzy again and recommend anyone looking for a quality treat to spoil a loved one contact her 1st .

Sue created the most amazing wedding cake; it not only looked beautiful but tasted amazing too. Would definitely recommend!
