Charlotte, the lovely lady who bakes and ices the cakes, did my wedding cake and favours in December; they were spectacular! I had an idea for the cake that I'd seen in an advert for some fancy London bakery which I took along with me. Charlotte talked me through my idea and we discussed how it could be adapted to suit my colour scheme and sleeping beauty theme - what she managed to create was beyond anything I could have asked for; it was a masterpiece! It was a real talking point and we got loads of compliments on it on the day and afterwards from family and friends. She also baked and iced us 90 gingerbread houses which were equally as lovely. I got my designer cake at a fraction of the cost and the finished product was way better than the pic i'd taken in so was fantastic value. The dedication and detail put into things was unbelievable, thank you so so much!We've also just nipped along for afternoon tea and that was superb too; Charlotte is definitely the cake queen of Stockton!

What do you love most about your job?
I love making cakes because every cake is different. It's one of those businesses where it keeps developing and coming up with new techniques to create new and interesting cake designs. A couple of my favourite new techniques are sugar veil - an icing that can bend around cakes like fabric and mirror glaze - it tastes delicious and takes on colour easily.
What inspired you to start your own business?
In 2010, I signed up for a sugar craft course held on the evenings, at the time I was working part time as a sales assistant with no prospects of it being a full-time job and knew I needed to do something more. I learnt so much on the course - how to make flowers with paste, buttercream and royal icing, how to cover cakes with fondant and royal icing, and found a love for all the technical detailing which goes into making cakes. My favourite was patchwork however since setting up Chintzy Cakes I find most decorating techniques enjoyable and I love learning about new cutters, icing techniques and latest trends. Since the course, cake decorating has evolved with the introduction of some of my favourite techniques; sugar veil - icing that can bend around cakes like fabric/ lace and mirror glaze - it tastes amazing and is a great alternative for covering cakes.
I've always enjoyed baking from a young age as a hobby but I never dreamed I could make a career from it. I love my job and hope to continue for many years.
