Ponty Carlo Cakes

About

Hi, my name is Lisa and I am the owner/founder of Ponty Carlo cakes in Pontypridd in South Wales. Even though I have always loved cooking and baking, this journey all started when my daughter was coming up to 18, that I decided that I wanted to make her a birthday cake. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be, so I ended up just making cupcakes which I decorated with some flowers that I made from fondant. They went down so well, that I was asked on that day to make cupcakes for a friends daughter’s wedding. I said yes and between that time and the wedding, the thought occurred to me that maybe I should get some lessons. The rest is history.
I very quickly became totally obsessed with cake decorating, and the orders came flooding in. I have always been artistic and creative, and have always been able to draw and paint, but it quickly became very clear that this craft was encompassing my love for colour, art, baking, making something quickly that you could also eat, and of course my love of cake. I only use the best ingredients available, and that I believe is the secret of making a cake that not only looks good but tastes wonderful too. I am always on the lookout for new recipes and I’m always willing to try something new. My heart and soul goes into every creation, and I absolutely love what I do. I hope that you enjoy perusing my cake creations.
