How it all began...

I’ve always been passionate about art. As a child, I spent my free time drawing, painting, and sewing. By secondary school, I knew I wanted to be an Art teacher. For 14 years, I taught art, ceramics, fashion, and textiles in an inner-city school and loved every moment of it. However, everything changed when my daughter was born with a rare condition requiring full-time care.

For three years, I was her full-time carer, balancing the challenges of hospital life and motherhood. During this time, I discovered a new creative outlet: cake decorating. Inspired by my grandmother’s love for baking, I decided to make my daughter’s birthday cake and quickly became hooked on sugar craft.

Baking and cake decorating became my new passion, allowing me to blend creativity with relaxation. Despite my husband’s type 1 diabetes making cake a less-than-ideal household staple, I love the process of designing and creating each unique cake and being trusted to play a special role in each individual story.

Who am I?

I’m a multi award-winning Wedding cake Designer based in Newcastle, whose passion is to create bespoke, meaningful pieces of edible art that are so much more than just dessert. My passion lies in crafting bespoke designs that blend contemporary techniques with timeless elegance, beautifully personalised to each unique love story.

Outside of cakes I love nothing more than a good builders brew, can’t resist anything citrus flavoured, especially a lemon tart! I love bold colour palettes, pattern and a good psychological thriller!

" Everything from start to finish was amazing with Caroline: she was so easy to talk to, replied very promptly and was always warm and friendly. Nothing was too much for her. She was extremely accommodating and made us feel confident in her abilities. We could not have been happier"

I took the leap into wedding cake design because I truly love being part of each couple’s story.

Collaborating closely with each couple, exploring ideas together and creating something deeply personal is a privilege I never take for granted.

Seeing everything come together on the wedding day itself is one of the most rewarding parts of the process. Knowing that I’ve created something meaningful that becomes part of such an important moment is the best feeling in the world.

This may not surprise you but... I genuinely love cake!

I know that probably sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how many cake makers prefer the process of creating cakes more than actually eating them, but that is definitely not me!

I genuinely love cake.

Back when I was a teacher, cake was always my go-to pick-me-up during a challenging day, and honestly, sometimes during the good ones too! The school canteen served an excellent slice of cake, and I genuinely looked forward to it every lunchtime.

My favourite flavour? It has to be lemon, but not just a subtle drizzle. I want flavours that really pack a punch. I’m also very partial to cherry Bakewell and Red Velvet cake too.

That’s why flavour and texture matter so much to me. I believe your cake should taste every bit as incredible as it looks, because there’s nothing more disappointing than a beautiful cake that is dry or lacks flavour.

Every recipe I use has been carefully refined and perfected over years of testing to ensure each slice feels just as special as the design itself.

My cake Philosophy

My approach to cake design is client focused, design led and with a passion for attention to detail.

Since starting Sugar Art Cakery I have helped couples realise their cake dreams, with my bespoke approach to cake design. This isn’t about following trends, it’s about creating something unique and deeply personal. My couples are passionate about their cakes and value it as an important part of their day.

Their cake is given an important role to play within their celebration. It’s a centrepiece of their reception, a key piece of their décor and a special shared moment. But it’s not all about design, my cakes taste just as good as they look with flavours to suit every palette.

Your dream wedding cake in three easy steps

It’s no secret that wedding planning can be a little overwhelming, with endless to do lists, research and organising. That’s why I have kept my wedding cake design process to just three easy steps:

Step 1. Check my availability, initial consultation & deposit.

Step 2. Design consultation & Cake tasting

Step 3. Finalise your design & pricing. Then relax, knowing that everything has been taken care of and I will deliver and set up your cake with the utmost care.

“Caroline was an absolute dream to work with. She understood our vision perfectly and created a cake that felt incredibly personal to us. From the thoughtful details to the tasting experience, every part of the process felt special. Kind, patient, and professional throughout — we couldn’t have wished for more.”
