Can't fault The CakeSmith! Louise is the perfect host, venue's gorgeous, the ingredients are delicious, all incredibly well organised for a kids party, they even got to feed the chickens after🙂

Great afternoon attending the chocolate workshop and felt confident when leaving to make my own at home! Everyone was very friendly too! Defo recommend.

Denise Hackett

My children (10 and 12) had an amazing time with The Cakesmith tonight for a Technical Young Bakers Workshop. They’ve absolutely loved their experience and are looking forward to coming back again.

Joanna Jones

Amazing workshop making delicious goodies. Gorgeous treats for us to eat with a cup of tea…and a glass of Prosecco while we were there too! Would highly recommend and can’t wait to try another workshop soon!

Wendy Poskitt

Had an absolutely fabulous time today with Louise. Learnt so much and even better got goodies to bring home .Highly recommended. Can't wait for my next workshop.

Joanna Lewis

A fantastic morning to celebrate a birthday! Great workshop! Louise was so lovely. Booking was easy and was in touch about it before hand. A really relaxed and lovely session. Great mix of baking, decorating but also drinking tea (and Prosecco) and eating lots of lovely treats! We got to bring so much home with us that we had made and despite all saying ‘ours won’t look as good as that’ they all looked brilliant! It was great to learn things which we can use again at home when baking. Will certainly be taking more people and visiting again!

Francesca Philson

My goddaughter and I did a workshop with Louise back in August. Louise was friendly, informative and a lot of fun. We had a wonderful time and my goddaughter has already asked if we can book to do another workshop. Would highly recommend.

Amazing Class - I attended a evening festive workshop at the Cakesmith and had an amazing time. Louise was so warm and welcoming and the kitchen workspace was beautiful. She taught us how to make various flavours of ice cream and ecclescakes.

And all of this was capped off with an incredible tea with sandwiches and a huge selection of sweet treats. I would highly recommend this and will definitely be making these bakes again. Thanks Louise!

The macaron baking experience was my 10 year olds Christmas gift. We had the most wonderful day with Lou who effortlessly managed a young baker.

From the demonstrations and then careful guidance we both produced a perfect set of macarons. My daughter was thrilled and the sweet treats sampled whilst we waited for everything to bake were amazing.

I would highly recommend this experience - both my daughter and I loved it.

Amazing time at The Cakesmith. Louise went through the elements of making the sponge cake for the cupcakes, gave us good tips for making sponge cake. We then made the truffles to decorate later and it was afternoon tea time for us. Sandwiches and cakes were delicious, table and tea well presented. After the afternoon tea we decorated our cup cakes and truffles. Louise is always to hand to advise and shows you initially how to decorate. We so enjoyed our day and plan to go to another event in the future.

Amanda Clayton

I had an amazing time with Louise at The CakeSmith. An older lady with no experience of making a cake since leaving school and never iced a cake. We had a 1 to 1 session today which was lovely. I was not disappointed in my day at all. I have got to take home some delicious items and cannot wait to practice some more. Highly recommend visiting here.

Barbara Beddow

Our second visit to Louise at The CakeSmith this time we did traditional cakes Louise is warm and welcoming and a fabulous teacher would highly recommend to pay her a visit you will enjoy it.

What a fabulous experience baking with the wonderful Louise! She's so passionate about baking and having fun! Me and the girls had a great time, can't wait to do it again!

Lucy Allum

I can’t recommend Louise’s kids parties highly enough! The organisation was fantastic, the kids had so much fun and it was really reasonably priced. They came away with skills and lots of sweet treats. Perfect for my 8 year old and her 6 friends.

What an amazing day not only did we make amazing treats, I finally understood how to pipe icing and create fancy cup cakes. Louise explained everything really well and guided us through all the steps, she also provided some amazing treats to eat I will definitely be going back of do more courses with her and recommend Louse to anyone looking to learn more about baking and decorating 💕

Charlee Shepherd

Highly recommend this business!! Everyone was so kind and helpful and the session was great. Amazing experience and would definitely do it again!

Amy Hyatt

We really enjoyed our treatbox workshop today. Louise was warm and friendly and made us feel at ease really quickly. We had a fantastic time. It was so lovely to pause in between activities to try some different tasty nibbles all presented beautifully to make it feel like a real treat! The workshop was really clear to follow along, well organised and Louise was so approachable to ask questions or ask for a little help! Even though we had both done baking at home previously we both came away having learned some new skills, techniques, tips and tricks and are absolutely thrilled with what we had created! Can't wait to give some new ideas and equipment a try! Will keep an eye out for future workshops and would love to come back. 💕

Awesome Experience - We had a brilliant time at the British & Traditional Cake workshop! Louise was great, she made us feel at ease right away! We arrived to some Prosecco and the option for a hot drink too!

Louise was very patient and explained the reason for doing different aspects of each of the stages, It was relaxed and informal and I learnt so much! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we each took our bakes home! There was soo much cake!

Amazing day learning how to do macarons, drinks on arrival and plenty of cakes and drinks in between waiting for the oven to finish. Louise is a great host that kept the day flowing, everyone loved it and would recommend to anyone for a great day out.

Zoe Thomas

An absolutely amazing afternoon tea experience and would definitely recommend to others! Louise was so warm and welcoming and showed us everything step by step to create some amazing treats. We made cupcakes, scones and mousse as well as getting to eat an afternoon tea with Prosecco as a little break. We had a fabulous time and got to take everything home at the end and it tastes delicious! I would 100% go back for another one of the workshops she provides.

Kristina McDougall
