Shereen's Cakes & Bakes

Shereen's Cakes & Bakes Unique, personalised cakes! You dream it, I make it . I am based in Bedfordshire, England It was a Little Einstein's birthday cake for my daughter. I was hooked!

Not many people can say they really love their job, however I can and I do! I have tried all sorts of creative avenues and finally realised a passion for cake decorating in February 2009 when I made my first memorable cake. I was so pleased with my rather amateur butter cream covered cake, with a handmade glittered fondant rocket set upon the top! I then started baking cupcakes for colleagues at t

he office, getting more adventurous with each batch, making new decorations, trying new colours and generally having fun! By May I had my first paid order. In June I made my mum's 50th Birthday cake which I decorated with hand painted shells and little sugar pearls. She loved it so much she couldn't bring herself to cut it for 3 days! The little shells were eventually gently picked off with a knife and stored safely away before cutting the cake. It gave me such a sense of joy to give something to my mum that came solely from me, which I created from scratch. By the end of 2009, I had made 70 cakes to order, and with each new order came a new feeling of excitement. My mind would start whizzing with ideas. I talked about cakes all the time and just wanted to be home baking. I would sit in the office trying to work but my mind was crafting my next creation. I quit my job and was self employed just 8 short months after making my first paid cake! I see my customers' joy at being given a cake that they have ordered for someone they love, a cake design that they have chosen which reflects something of that person, a cake that is so personal and I know it's really going to mean so much to the person receiving it, because it is theirs and it has been uniquely made for them, and them alone. I have taught myself everything I know about cakes from books, the internet and some fantastic tips and guidance from a really good friend. I continue to develop my talent and my business and I am so proud of the work I do. I cannot describe the joy inside me when I show someone their cake for the first time.

2010 has been an amazing year for me, and I feel I just keep going from strength to strength. I count myself as one of the lucky few in this world to be doing something in my life that I am so passionate about and that makes other people so happy. I have had amazing support, belief and encouragement from my husband, my eldest daughter (my best critic!), my youngest daughter (born in July this year) my wonderful family and my friends. I wouldn't have got this far without them all.

It’s our middle daughter’s 15th birthday today. This is our joint effort birthday cake. Hayley wanted bright and colourful flowers in a bunch on her cake and a bit of gold too. She freehand handpainted the cake and I made the flowers. Loved working on this for her x

I used saracinodolci flower paste by Atari Mirji for these flowers and it was so lovely to work with, even in a hot and humid week this week.

I used dusts from immaculateconfectionsuk for these gorgeous bright colours

Hayley painted with sugarflair gel colours.

2 years ago this week, our daughter then turning 13 created her whole birthday cake. From designing and drawing her own characters and turning them into 3D creatures for her cake. She worked so hard on this and it was gorgeous. She was away for her birthday last year so no cake and she decided only last week she would like a cake for her 15th birthday, she wants flowers and we are going to work on the flowers and dusting together and she might paint on the cake too … Watch this space at the end of the week for our joint creation …. Now to bake it!

A year ago last week! I loved making this very personal wedding cake for the bride and groom. They designed their own topper and I created a cutter on my 3D printer from their design so it could be seen from both sides of the cake.

I got to try this today! Have you tried it yet?

I was dubious about this and for some reason expected it to be extremely sweet but it’s not overly sweet and the strawberries are delicious!

Little Abigail on her swing with her bunny and dog coco which was the top of her cake.

I loved this topper so much!
