About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2024

Last update: September 2024

Welcome to Centrepiece Cakes, my updated vision for my cake business, formerly known as Bakealous. I have built up a fantastic reputation throughout Hertfordshire and the home counties and have recently rebranded my business to Centrepiece Cakes. Having had two beautiful children in and around the time of COVID-19 and with my children now at school, I am able to start building my business back up and working with more lovely couples throughout 2024 and beyond.

My attention to detail has set me apart and enabled me to produce some of the most amazing cakes for Weddings and other special occasions since 2003, right up to the present day.

After years of practice and honing my craft, I finally found my passion in making handmade sugar flowers & foliage, which transform the most elegant of cakes into something truly magical – with the same question being asked many times over – are they real!?

Each of my cakes is designed to meet your needs and is made to order with absolute freshness and quality ingredients, with the height of all tiers being 7″ tall. These tiers include 3 layers of delicious sponge sandwiched between 2 layers of buttercream finished in a luxurious white chocolate ganache. Each of your guests will enjoy a generous serving, which is clearly an important factor when comparing value for money.

A 5-star food safety rating and public liability insurance give you peace of mind.

I am based in Stevenage and cover all of Hertfordshire, Essex, London, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and others, at some of the most prestigious venues in the country.

Just perfect.

Thank you Lou for the most amazing wedding cake…we were both blown away when we saw it. Exactly our vision and it came to life! From tasting to sketch to real life. Not only stunning but delicious! We have few slices left in our freezer ready to be opened on special moments like receiving our wedding video/pictures etc and have kept our sugar flowers. Our favourite flavour being white chocolate and raspberry. We just absolutely loved it. Thank you so much.

Our incredible wedding cake!!

From our first enquiry, Lou was incredibly responsive and helpful. It proved very difficult to choose which samples to taste with such an amazing array of flavours available, and it became even more difficult to choose which ones to proceed with for our wedding cake, as all the samples we received were absolutely delicious (and very generous in size!!). The cake on the day looked absolutely beautiful and we received a number of comments on how stunning it looked, as well as how delicious it tasted. It was an absolute joy to have Lou bake our wedding cake and would highly recommend her for any wedding. We will definitely be hiring Lou again for birthdays and other events. Without a doubt, 10/10 value for money. A huge thank you Lou!!

Regina & Lewis

Lou did an absolutely amazing job of our wedding cake. The cake was truly stunning and had our guests in awe as soon as they saw it. Because I wanted a tall cake with draping she had to assemble the cake and do the draping at the venue - something that she suggested and was happy to do. She went above and beyond to make this cake with all 4 layers being different flavours. The cake was fresh and so rich and tasty. It melted in my mouth. It was truly spectacular to see and to taste. I also wanted flowers on it which she again sourced for me and placed so beautifully on the cake. Please if you are a bride and not sure who to go for, go for Lou. She is approachable, hardworking and will give you the cake of your dreams!!

Show stopping masterpiece

A very big thank you to Lou for the wedding cake she designed which was nothing short of a masterpiece.
It was visually stunning with intricate details that perfectly matched the wedding theme and it was a breathtaking centrepiece for the reception.
The flavours were rich and decadent, striking a perfect balance that pleased every guest.
Lou listened to our ideas, offered creative suggestions and delivered beyond our expectations.
I highly recommend Lou to anyone in need of a show-stopping cake for any special occasion.

Best wedding cake ever (told by all my guests)

We couldn't be happier with our wedding cake! Lou was amazing to work with from start to finish. She totally got our vision and brought it to life perfectly. Not only did the cake look stunning, but it also tasted incredible with each tier flavoured differently!

She was super easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. All our guests raved about the cake, and we loved every bite. If you're looking for someone to create a beautiful and delicious wedding cake, Lou is your go-to. Highly recommend!

Our gorgeous wedding cake!

Can’t thank lou enough for our wedding cake, we had a three tiered cake with real flowers. The cake was absolutely huge and gorgeous flavours we ordered passion fruit and coconut, raspberry and white chocolate and Victoria sponge.

We had so many compliments on the cake and to our delight we’ve been eating it for days since the wedding!

Sample boxes also were wonderful, posted to us and it was a really smooth process.

Thank you again!
