About
I'm Steph, the founder and creative force behind every cake that leaves the studio. From the initial design consultation to the final sugar flower, every detail is thoughtfully created by me. While I also wear the many hats that come with running an independent business, my true passion lies in transforming exceptional ingredients and artistry into unforgettable centrepieces for life's most meaningful celebrations.
​
My journey began in 2011 with a cake decorating course at Paul Bradford's Sugarcraft School. What started as a creative hobby quickly became a calling. Determined to refine my craft, I studied Bakery at the City of Glasgow College for two years before gaining invaluable experience working in professional bakeries and bespoke cake studios. In 2018, I fulfilled my dream of launching my own business. After beginning from my home kitchen, demand soon outgrew the space, leading to the opening of my Bathgate studio in 2019 following a complete renovation.
Today, I specialise in luxury fondant wedding cakes adorned with realistic sugar flowers. My signature style is elegant, contemporary and impeccably finished, with a love for refined colour palettes and beautifully clean lines. Every cake is designed with intention and created with precision, reflecting my belief that true luxury lies in exceptional quality rather than volume.
To ensure every couple receives the highest level of service, I accept only two wedding cake commissions each week. This allows me to dedicate the time, care and attention each bespoke creation deserves.

A Few Things About Me
​
Beyond the world of sugar flowers and wedding cakes, here are a few things that make me who I am:
-
Before becoming a cake designer, I earned a degree in Forensics. Biology has always fascinated me, and I'm still an avid true crime enthusiast.
-
I have a lifelong obsession with flamingos.
-
Spiders are one thing I'll never learn to love.
-
My drink of choice is an Aperol Spritz — just ask anyone who knows me.
-
I'm a huge Eurovision fan.
-
Pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza.
-
You'll often find me singing along to Wham! or George Michael in the studio.
-
My two French Bulldogs are completely spoiled and proudly rule our home.
-
My husband proposed at the summit of Mount Fuji in Japan. That unforgettable moment sparked my love of Japanese culture, which later inspired the name of my business.
