I love being able to relive our big day all over again when I watch our film and look at our wedding gallery.

Cakes
The Bearded Baker
With over 20 years in creating wedding cakes, I’m ready for the challenge to create something special for your big day!

I try to make the process as simplified as possible and can build something that fits within your budget.
