Cakery
The Gardener’s Greenhouse combines my love of gardening, baking and cake decorating using natural, plant-based ingredients. It has culminated in ‘clean’ cakes and baking, made from scratch with no artificial food colouring. All cakes are made to suit your requirements with a combination of local, Fair Trade and organic ingredients. Most of them can be adapted to be gluten and allergy free. Some flavours and garnishes use seasonal ingredients and edible flowers from the garden so they will be unique to you.
I have a registered kitchen and look forward to enhancing your special day with a beautiful cake or bake.
