Fondant
Fondant is a pliable sugar paste that gives a perfectly smooth, porcelain-like finish to the outside of a cake. Unlike buttercream, it provides a precise canvas for intricate detail work, sculpted 3D elements and character modelling - and it holds its shape well in warmer conditions, making it ideal for outdoor events.
Every fondant cake I make is covered and decorated entirely by hand. I work with a range of fondant colours and can mix custom shades to match any colour palette or theme exactly.

Techniques & Styles
Fondant opens up a range of techniques that simply are not possible with buttercream alone.
Bringing beloved characters to life - from Paw Patrol to Pokémon - using modelling fondant shaped and painted entirely by hand. Every detail is considered, down to the facial expression.
A flawlessly smooth fondant exterior - perfectly flat surfaces, clean edges and a professional finish that photographs beautifully and provides a clean base for any additional decoration.
Structures, objects and three-dimensional features built in fondant and supported internally. From handbags to sports cars to fairy-tale castles - if you can imagine it, it can be built.
Precise geometric designs, repeating patterns, quilting, marbling and hand-cut decoration. Fondant holds its shape and colour with consistent accuracy, making it ideal for detailed pattern work.
Choosing Your Finish
Both finishes have their strengths. Here is a guide to help you decide - or get in touch and I will advise based on your specific design.
Many cakes combine both - a fondant base with buttercream detail work, or buttercream florals added at delivery. I will guide you through the best approach for your specific design.
Care & Handling
Fondant cakes are straightforward to care for - follow these simple guidelines to keep yours looking its best.
Keep in a cool, dry room - not the fridge. Moisture from refrigeration softens and marks fondant surfaces.
Carry in the foot well of the vehicle, on a flat surface, with air conditioning on low. Avoid the boot if possible.
Fondant cakes are best enjoyed within 2 to 3 days of delivery for optimal freshness and flavour.
Avoid direct sunlight and high heat. Fondant can soften and lose its shape if left in a warm environment for extended periods.

The fondant exterior is just the beginning - inside, every sponge and filling is made to the same standard. Choose the flavour that suits your occasion.
