Vintagecakefairy Reviews 5

I have used Karen for a few years, but this year I had a cake made for my daughter’s birthday and to say she was impressed was an understatement! We asked for a k pop demon hunters cake which Karen was unfamiliar with but she did all the research and produced a perfect cake with brilliant themes and the colours were just right! I had many comments from children and parents about how lovely the cake tasted as well! Thank you Karen!

It was a pleasure working with you Karen, I knew when I met you at the Sheffield EWE wedding fair that I wanted you to make a cake topper. When I got home and showed Matt what you could create, he made the great suggestion on having you make our cake as well (we initially weren't going to have a cake at all) and I'm so glad we changed our mind on that. The reason we weren't going to have a cake initially is because we have celiacs in the family and gluten free cakes aren't always the best, but when we found out you were celiac as well, then we knew the gluten free options would be delicious!
Your communication via email was always friendly and with quick responses. Our consultation in person was lovely, you were very clear with your design and what you could create within our budget, which was nice as there were no "hidden" fees. What was also great is you were happy for Matt and I to send you pictures separately of our wedding outfits for the cake topper, as we both kept them as a surprise until the wedding.
We absolutely loved the framed drawing of our initial wedding cake design! We both said how thoughtful it was and we already have it up on our mantlepiece in the front room! We were surprised to receive it alongside your hand written note. It was gorgeous to look back on that consultation picture and actually be able to compare it to the masterpiece you made. A beautiful keepsake.
We travelled an hour and a half each way, specifically for your cake designs and I'm so happy we did.
Thanks again Karen for being just a lovely, creative and kind person 💜

We found Vintage Cake Fairy at the wedding fair hosted at Carlton Towers Estate.
Her enthusiasm and skills were exactly what we were looking for.
During our consultation meeting, her professionalism and enjoyment of the job was infectious, which led to a very creative discussion of what was achievable and the level of detail she could achieve.
On the day of the wedding, she delivered the cake and it was definitely a show stealer. It was exactly what we hoped for and if we ever needed another cake like this, we know who we'd approach. We've recommended her to others multiple times and would highly recommend her services.

We are a couple living in the United States and we just had our destination wedding in the UK. We had Karen as our cake artist since she's recommended by our venue Carlton Towers and she can do butter cream cake finish. We are so glad we chose her! She's very communicative, always friendly and encouraging. Throughout the conversations, she asked about our preference and then sent over her sketch. We also asked her to do a little figure for our dog Walnut and she did an amazing job! As for the flavors, we couldn't go to the UK to taste it before our wedding so we absolutely trusted her. We took her recommendation and had Lemon drizzle (8"), Rich chocolate (6"), and Coffee (4"). I would say lemon drizzle was the best! Highly recommend!

My partner and I met Karen at one of our first Wedding Fayres even before we had confirmed with our venue. When we saw her reveal cake design we were instantly sold and booked her around 16 months before our wedding, alongside picking up some of her amazing wedding cake samples to try.

After a few emails back and forth throughout those 16 months, we were invited to a design consultation, where Karen took some of our ideas and began to sketch what our cake could look like - these sketches were an art in themselves!

Once we confirmed our design choices, Karen offered a couple of ideas that really enhanced our cake - including the addition of a friendship bracelet on our Taylor Swift tier! The other addition we had was of our gorgeous beagle, Basil, who Karen beautifully captured in icing form and was a highlight for our guests.

We opted for vanilla and strawberry for our largest tier, then chocolate, salted caramel and gluten free lemon.

Our guests were amazed by the reveal design and once we turned the cake around they immediately came up to take photos - we had fantastic comments all night for all the flavours of cake and our gluten free guests were thrilled at the lemon option and comments that it was one of the best cakes they'd had.

We cannot thank Karen enough for her help and the most amazing cake we could have asked for. Thank you so much for making our day special 🩷
