Baking Club Ltd

Patisserie

👍👍 Grace made a cake for my birthday, for which I gave no instruction other than a summer forest theme.. I was so blown away by her creation I cried! She is a master artiste with the buttercream! I'm not usually a fan of cake, finding them too sweet. But, not only do I love the wonderful impression of...

Sweet Meringue UK

Cake shop

👍👍 I am not a vegan but whenever i visit CHAI Café in Banstead that's when i will take a few of sweet meringue's sweet treats to try, the café are so proud of the sweet meringue's cakes and so am i. I have also recently ordered a milk cake from Adriana and i must say it is the best i have tasted yet.

Custom Cakes and Cupcakes by Miss Muffin

👍👍 So happy with our wedding cake. We contacted Louise after seeing her amazing cakes on instagram.

Cake Box Amersham

Cake shop

😠 Will never recommend. It was my son’s 1st birthday and the baked the wrong cake and refused to correct it. And we all got disappointed because of that. We requested them and offered to pay for for new cake but they said “take it the way it is or leave it”. They knew that it’s a bank holiday and we c...

The Creative Cupcake Company

Cupcake shop

😠 Very rude owner. She is very hostile in her approach and particularly arrogant. The cakes are lovely but the thing which really makes a good business is good customer service skills, a positive attitude and friendly nature. Maybe you should take some time to work on this.
