barbara marling10 June 2024Spent a very useful Saturday at a Master the Basics Class by Cakes by Carol in Peterborough. Working with Carol and 3 other (much) more skilled ladies I managed to learn how to properly place and smooth fondant icing using the sharp edge smoother and even my efforts looked really sharp! 😀 now to practice.Kay Gilligan6 January 2024I hesitated for far too long before finally booking a course with Carol ‘Master the basics’. Wish I had took the plunge sooner, the sharp edge smoother is an absolute game changer whether you’re a professional or a hobby baker like me. Carol made me feel very welcome, at ease and she also has the patience of a saint! So knowledgeable, no question was left unanswered, it was a real pleasure to have finally met her and learn from one of the best! Thank you Carol for sharing your skills.G S12 December 2023Carol created our wedding cake and it was stunning. The colours and toppers were exactly what we had wished for, and the flavours were very tasty. She also made gluten-free cupcakes which went down very well with our coeliac guests. The only criticism I have is that communication was often difficult (my emails not being replied to and me having to follow them up, for example), but nevertheless the final result looked wonderful.Tom Brown8 October 2023I experienced a course taught by Carol and what can I say, but wow! Worth every penny! She had the patients of a saint and was very focused in meeting all of the group’s individual needs. It’s rare for someone to be willing to share so much knowledge, even more than what was advertised on her site. Definitely worth investing in her courses whether a hobby baker or a professional as there was so much to learn. What made it even better, is that Carol herself is a normal down to earth person and a laugh to be around. If anything, I was going to score her low just because I’m jealous of her cakes.Amanda Roberts24 July 2023Recently bought Carol's cake smoother and 16 inch plates. I have only practiced a little bit with it, but wow what a difference it has made. Hopefully I will soon update you with a picture but it is amazing on first try. I also couldn't believe how quick it arrived and was packaged so well. Thank you Carolsharon hughes5 April 2023I recently joined and I’m absolutely thrilled with all the resources available being a member especially the tutorials. I also love the fact that all the other members help you out too . Highly recommend for all you cake makesKatie Hanlon-Marlow29 January 2023Sampling Carol's cakes was without a doubt my now Husband's favourite part of wedding planning! It has always been our dream to have Penguins on the top of our wedding cake and Carol not only made this a reality but made a truly stunning cake. Eating Carol's delicious cake was certainly a wedding highlight for us and all of our guests! We loved our cake topper so much it is now sitting proudly in a display case at home!Lisa “Bunty” Agboh29 November 2022I have purchased a few items from Carol, including her fantastic sharp edge smoother, which is a game changer for cake makers of any level. Whether hobby or pro this tool is an essential part of my kit.Neliswa Kumalo25 November 2022I bought wedding cake and Christmas cake tutorial with Carol. Oh I'm learning a lot and when you have a problem she's there to help. I'm in South Africa but I feel like she's close to me, because I can hear clearly and understand what she's saying. She shows you step by step what to do, I'm a beginner but with her I know for sure I will go far with baking.Marian Johnson23 November 2022I bought Carol’s Sharp Edge smoother and what a game changer! A bit of practice watching her video and I’ve saved so much time covering my cakes! We’ll worth purchasing!!
FAQS
We are based in Stilton, just outside of Peterborough north of Cambridge, UK, PE73RP
Our beautiful cakes are hand-crafted. Many cakes, especially wedding cakes, are booked well in advance. Please give us as much notice as you can as we are usually booked up to 4 months in advance (Longer for Wedding cakes).
Yes we do
We make prestigious and delicious hand-crafted cakes, which by their very nature are delicate and need to be handled with the utmost care. All our cakes are packed carefully for transportation, you are welcome to collect from our studio in Stilton.
We offer a delivery for a fee within a 60-mile radius of our studio in Stilton. Our cakes are packed securely for transportation, so we can guarantee your cake arrives safely. We do travel further afield, for our Wedding and more extravagant bespoke cakes, so please contact us so we can calculate the delivery charge for you.
Because our cakes are too fragile we do not offer a courier service.
No problem! Contact us via our contact form and we will be delighted to provide a quote for a bespoke creation. All of our cakes are made to order and it is almost certain that no two cakes are the same, for example…the message, colour scheme and decoration are unique to you. If you have a picture or sketch of the cake you would like, you can email it to us at carol@cakesbycarol.org.uk
For freshness, our sponge and carrot cakes should be eaten within 6-7 days, if they are stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Once cut the cake should be kept in an airtight container to retain the freshness. Our fruit cakes should last at least three months. Do not put any of our cakes in the fridge, as this will affect the quality. It is possible to freeze leftover cake, wrapped in clingfilm.
