Cakes by Mrs O is run by Ann, an experienced cake maker based in Pocklington, East Yorkshire (near York).
Yorkshire Brides | Weddings popped Ann in the hot-seat!
1. How long have you been a cake maker within the Wedding Industry? 6 yearsÂ
 2. How did you get into cake making/baking? Baking for my children’s birthdays progressed to making cakes for friends then I realised that I have a talent so started a little hobby business alongside full time work. I learnt sugar flowers and never looked back, never did I imagine the business would enable me to give up my full time role and now I get to create bespoke cakes for work.Â
 3. What would you describe your style as? I love creating sugar flowers, I won’t use artificial flowers on a cake as to me they aren’t hygienic. I will allow real flowers but there are so many that are toxic, including gypsophila and eucalyptus so my view is why risk it! Have the flowers you want but in sugar form.Â
 4. What is your favourite part of a wedding day? When I go to see the bride and show her the photos of their bespoke cake standing proud ready for them. Sometimes I’m lucky and get to see the groom too.Â
 5. What flavours are the most popular at the moment? My raspberry and white chocolate is always popular as is my sticky toffee cake. My signature buttercream always gets a wow too!! All my curds and coulis are homemade so they are full of flavour.Â
 6. When working with couples, what do you value the most? Time getting to know them and their story so I can truly create something unique to them.
 7. What can a couple expect from you on the day of the wedding? I deliver and set up their wedding cake as planned using a cake stand of their choice. I take my time to ensure their cake is perfect. They can rest assured that not only will it look fantastic it will taste amazing too. Hopefully when the couple and their guests see the wedding cake it gives them one of many wedding wow moments. Then they get to enjoy a delicious slice of their chosen flavours with all their guests.Â
 8. Can you advise your booking process? I invite all potential clients for a tasting consultation where they get to try up to 6 flavours served with bubbles, we discuss everything about their big day and I try and find out a little about them. Then after the consultation I send over a quote and it’s at this point they decide if they want to go ahead with myself.
Ann does also offer dessert tables and shortbread personalised favour biscuits. Her diary does get busy so it’s always best to enquire as soon as possible.
