I am a cake obsessive, based in West Sussex, UK.

I started off making cakes for family and friends before giving up a proper career in favour of playing with sugar full time. Having worked for two bakeries making their wedding and celebration cakes, I am now looking toward world domination with breaks for coffee and chat.

I also sell some sugarcraft items on Etsy. Please go to https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KasserinaHome?ref=hdr_shop_menu

Thanks for looking!

Pixie chair - Spring 2016

So happy to announce that two of my cakes will be appearing as part of a feature shoot on Boho Weddings very soon. 

Watch out for a link when it goes live, meanwhile I'm now allowed to start sharing photos of the cakes.  

Take a look at my "Jasmine Rose" cake post too, which was also part of the styled shoot.

Fresh flowers and styling by the amazing Hannah Berry Flowers 



These photos are of the same cake without the fresh flowers, 
but with some sugar oak leaves.

An updated photo of my magnolia cake.  Love my town, it's hard to beat as a background on a sunny day 😃😎

Sweetpeas are go - April 2016


A sweeping asymmetric spray of white sweetpeas with a memory rose, creepers and filler flowers.  A modern take on the traditional. 




His and hers running shoes - May 2016

So I seem to have inadvertently started a new wedding trend.  

I've had a bunch of orders for his and hers running shoes for wedding cakes through my Etsy shop.  

They do make really cute cake toppers.

More flowers; vintage rose spray, filler flowers, cherry blossom and modern open peony - May 2015

Various flower tests, mounted on a tiered dummy cake.  

First, a test of my new filler flowers in a spray


Two types of cherry blossom.  
I've been testing methods for finish and how long it takes to do them... still undecided.

Thanksgiving Red Velvet cake - November 2014


Two layer red velvet cake, with cream cheese frosting, for a splendid Thanksgiving party. 



I do love cream cheese frosting with lots of cream cheese.  A Red Velvet cake with good cream cheese frosting is like a cheesecake in reverse.  Yum!  






A very happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it... and a happy Saturday to everyone else!

Black and purple wedding cake - August 2014



Flowers, birds and gold leaves made for a three tier black fondanted wedding cake.  The smaller flowers  (around 70) were taped into small sprays of 3 or 5.  Leaves were taped into sprays of 3. Larger roses were formed around polystyrene (styrofoam) balls, larger ones had wired petals around the outside.  I also made wired hydrangea sprays and small petunia flowers  for the cake.  Sorry, not many photos.

I only made the decorations so didn't see finished cake, hopefully there are photos to follow though.


Wired rose, just steamed.











The groom's design.  Gorgeous.



Hope the wedding was wonderful.  Congratulations!

Update:  Here's a photo from the groom of the finished cake.  Sounds like they had a fab time and enjoyed the cake.  Happy days to you both. x
