I began my journey in cake making in 2011, creating cakes for all kinds of celebrations, but as time passed, I realized that my passion became mainly for the delicious decadence of weddings.
Over time, I developed my expertise in crafting luxurious lavish cakes whilst maintaining the elegance of the traditional but with a modern twist.

My background....

Working on luxury cruise liners throughout my 20s, I got to travel and experience some of the most exotic and exciting places around the world.
I spent my days sunning on white sand beaches sipping cocktails and sightseeing, and by night worked as a casino croupier.
In the latter period of those years I side stepped into selling fine art in onboard auctions.

Upon giving up the cruise life I worked in high-end luxury fashion recruitment in London.
Whilst a desk job was not my dream job, it did give me further insight into what is expected in the luxury market and I got to meet some very well-known celebrities in fashion.

The start of my love affair with cake artistry though, began in 2007 when I decided to create my own wedding cake and devoured anything I could find on sugar craft and baking. My newlywedded husband quickly became a cake widow!

The Cake Temple name was a little nod to my great grandparents who during the war would make artificial wedding cake tiers out of wood and ice them perfectly before adding my great-grandmother's renowned delicious fruitcake to the top. This was for people in their community at a time when rationing made it almost impossible to obtain a wedding cake.

My great-grandmother's surname was Templeton, 'Temple' being a place of marriage and ritual so 'The Cake Temple' was born.

Skip to present day, when away from the kitchen I am either walking my mini dachshund Lylah and the Jaffa Cake stealing whippet Ollie, flicking through high fashion and interior design magazines where I often find inspiration for new cake designs or spending time with my husband and teen daughter.
