✨ End of an era! ✨

Wednesday was our very last wholesale drop to the lovely Budgens shops in Walkern, Watton & Meppershall 💛

It’s a bit of a bittersweet one because it’s been such a joy baking for these local shops over the years, and we’re so grateful for all the love and support from you lovely lot who picked up our bakes there!

But with wedding season in full swing (and then some 😅) we’ve made the decision to press pause on wholesale and pour our energy into all things cakes & celebration.

It’s a big shift, but one that feels right for where we are now 💫

Biggest love to the Budgens teams for being brilliant stockists, and to everyone who ever grabbed a brownie or blondie from their shelves 🧡

Onwards, upwards, and onto the next delicious chapter 🎂✨

POV: You walk into your wedding this is the view 😍

A beautiful set up at @offleyplace last weekend 💕

While we’re talking weddings, 2025 dates are nearly full, and 2026 is already getting busy. If you’re thinking about booking, now’s the time.

📩 Drop me a message and we’ll get you sorted.

Shannon + Danny picked a dessert table of all their favorite things for their wedding earlier this year at @barnsatredcoats and it was the dessert table of dreams 😍

They really made sure that they had all of their favorites from blondies, millionaires, brownies and rocky roads in their chosen flavours 🙌🏻

Shannon sent me a preview of their photos and I can’t not put it on the grid 💕

If you wanna chat dessert tables and your cake your way drop me a DM limited spaces for 2025 and half 2026 wedding dates booked in already 🕺🪩

I’m going to go ahead and pat myself on the back 🙌🏻

Because when our customers can’t stop telling us how happy they are we know we’re onto something!

Are you ready to be the next to finally get the cake of your dreams?

Spaces so limited so don’t hang around, all the details are at the link in our bio 💕✨

🛒 supermarket snack haul: free from edition 🍫🚫🌾

gluten? don’t know her.
dairy? left her at the till.
today we’re diving headfirst into the free from aisle to see which supermarket snacks are serving joy and which are just expensive cardboard. 🫠

think rocky road that actually rocks, muffins that (mostly) bring the sticky or do they 👀, and a birthday cake bar that tastes like sugar and childhood chaos. 🎂✨

👀 swipe to see the goods
🤔 which would you try first?
💬 tell me your fave “free from” find, I’m nosy and always hungry

Baking for Budgens is one of my favourite kinds of ✨chaos✨

It means a full kitchen take over and trays on trays on trays

There’s still something so surreal even 4! years on about walking into each of the shops and seeing my bakes sat there on the actual shelves like “oh hey 👋🏻” I made that!

And if I see someone buying something when I’m in there I’m still not sure I actually believe it 😍😂

If you’re in Stevenage, Walkern, Watton at Stone or Meppershall you can find TMB stocked there

This week we’ve got even more pistachio brownies, millionaires shortbreads, school cake, brownies, blondies and even some gluten free and vegan treats too 🕺🙌🏻

Tag me if you try one 💕🍰

Bake a wedding cake with me.
Except making a wedding cake last week wasn’t in my schedule. 😬

Story time ☕️
 R + T had already booked someone, paid a deposit, sent the design — everything was confirmed. Until it wasn’t.
 No replies. No updates. No cake. One week before their wedding, they were left completely in the dark. Then they found me 👋🏻

What you see here is me doing what I do best: keeping calm, stepping in, and delivering when it matters most ❤️

At TMB I’m a cake maker not a magician, there are no disappearing acts here — just cake, made right 🧁

Looking for a reliable cake maker with zero drama on your big day? Hit me up 🙋🏼‍♀️

I LOVED the final result and my lovely clients were so pleased with these for their birthday but when the brief is :-
Nut free ✅
Dairy free ✅
Soy free ✅
Gluten free ✅
Egg free ✅
BOY!! This one was a challenge 🤣 it’s not just as easy as straight swap the flour out or chuck some of this in instead 😂 it’s so much science and trial and error but when customers say how happy they are that they can have cake again it’s totally worth it 🙌🏻💕

You’ve all seen the viral Dubai chocolate bar, but as a brownie 👀

Fudgy base ✅
Kunafa + pistachio spread combo ✅
More chocolate ✅

HELLO! It’s been a while since I introduced myself! For those who haven’t met me yet, I’m Stacey and I help you have your cake your way no matter what 🙌🏻

Today I want to share a few of my proudest moments since I started this biz.

Things from starting weddings, saying no to things, being published and becoming a wholesale stockist to where we are now 🙌🏻✨

I’m so excited to be on this journey guys!! What a ride 🎢

The happy couple pretended to cut the cake. I, however, got stuck in for real 🍰 And yes, I of course will always cut the cake if you want me to.

Sam + Sam threw an amazing celebration last night for their UK wedding celebration with a dessert table of dreams. They went for:
 🍰Victoria sponge cake 🧁 Chocolate orange + lemon blueberry cupcakes 🍫 Chocolate chunk, s’mores + mini egg brownies 🍋 Lemon, white choc raspberry + bakewell blondies

And get this — the entire lot was gluten free. No one questioned it, guests were too busy getting stuck in to ask questions.
 Proof gluten-free doesn’t mean joy-free 🙌🏻✨

Sorry not sorry, there will not be any discussion on these points 😅🍰

On Saturday I set up at the most beautiful venue @cheniesmanorweddingsandevents for Beth and Ben 💒

They went for a 3 tier decorated with Olive and Lavender and sent me such a lovely email on Monday 💕

My 2026 books are open and are 1/4 full already 🙌🏻😅 I’ve had to turn away people for certain dates already 😩
so if you’d like to get booked in pop me a message and let’s talk all things weddings ❤️

The nicest words about what was such a fun cake to make. Sprinkles and donuts all day long please 🍩💙🧁

🔥 When the oven isn’t the only thing heating up…

Summer cake chaos? Not on our watch! 😅🍰
Here are my top tricks to keep your buttercream from slipping, to keep your cakes cool, firm, and flawless—even on the hottest days and your sanity intact. 💪☀️

Save this for the next meltdown (yours or the cakes - no judgement) and tag a baker who needs to see this! 🧁❄️

🚨 CAKE CRISIS? 🚨

Like everyone else, I woke up to the new of the chaos this morning about the M&S cyber attacks, meaning that wedding cakes were suddenly off the table…

If you’re one of the couples affected, I’m so sorry this is the last thing anyone need before their wedding, so that being said, If I can help, I will ❤️

I’m opening up a few limited slots for last-minute semi-naked wedding cakes, handmade by me with the same care and quality I give to all my couples.

This is an offering with limited space due to my availability, and as a much smaller and independent business compared to M&S, I can’t match their prices, but I can try and offer something more budget friendly - these are not the same size as any cake I usually offer which is why they’ll be cheaper to the people who have been let down and therefore the prices can’t be compared to anything I usually offer.

The cakes would be collection only and subject to avaliabilty

A 6 + 8 inch 2 tier cake with 2 layers per tier = £115

Whilst I know it costs more than M&S, I can promise you won’t be let down on your big day, it’ll be made by hand with attention to detail. So if you need a beautiful, delicious cake and a bit of calm in the chaos—drop me a message. I’ll help however I can 🤍

Why does a “wedding cake” cost more?

Let me explain before you serve Colin the Caterpillar at your reception. 🐛🎂

➡️ You could ask me for a 2-tier cake for a birthday. You could ask me for the SAME CAKE for a wedding.
➡️ The price? It’s based on the TIME it takes to make it, not the title you give it.
➡️ It doesn’t matter to me if you’re celebrating a birthday, wedding, divorce, new nose job, or just throwing the cake off a balcony for ✨reasons✨ (we’ve all been there, right)

If it’s the same amount of time, it’s the same cost 🧁

➡️ That’s why it costs more. TIME = MONEY.

💬 Moral of the story:
Order whatever you want, call it whatever you want, but the cost is the cost ✌🏻

Sincerely,
A cake maker who is slowly losing their mind. 😂🧁

If you had to sum up TMB in a cake this would be it 💕🍊

I made my own wedding cake. Because I’m a baker - is what I tell people 👀 
When the reality is that I’m a massive a control freak. And because I didn’t trust anyone else not to mess it up / wanna spend my day going well I wouldn’t of done it like that but whatever … 🫠

Anyway, It was stunning. Dreamy. Beyond obsessed.
 It got cut for the photo. And then? Nothing. Not a bite. Not a crumb. 🫠

Meanwhile, the dessert table? A full-on sugar stampede.😂❤️

Cookies? Gone. Brownies? Obliterated. Blondies? Like they didn’t exist 😍
 My cake? Still standing. Just sitting there. Gorgeous. Unbothered. Unbitten.
Basically a very expensive centrepiece. Just me and my uneaten legacy 😩

We left it for the venue staff in the end, best shift they’ve ever worked I reckon 🕺🪩 
But it’s got me thinking…
 Is the wedding cake officially dead? Has the dessert table taken over? 🍰🍫🍬🍪

Do you do ‘free from’… safely? 🧐

It’s allergy awareness week so the perfect time to get into this.

We DO make gluten free bakes, but we don’t take it lightly.
Gluten free for example, isn’t just a trend or a buzzword for us. It’s a serious commitment to both quality and safety. That’s why we’ve got:

✔️ A dedicated oven for gluten-free bakes
✔️ Separate utensils and workspaces to prevent any cross-contamination
✔️ And a whole lot of obsessive cleaning between batches to keep everything 100% safe

But here’s the thing, just because a product says it’s gluten-free doesn’t mean it’s actually safe.

We’ve all seen the ‘free from’ label on Instagram, but unless a bakery is going above and beyond to make sure they have zero risk of contamination, that label could be meaningless - whether they are a registered baker or not

Before you buy:
✅ Check full ingredients - is it as free from allergens as they say?
✅ Ask questions! Don’t feel shy. Your health is worth it!
✅ Know the bakery! Can they actually guarantee what they’re selling?

And a word of warning: especially when shopping online, those rules get murky.

Distance selling doesn’t always follow the same strict guidelines as buying in-store, so it’s up to you to know what you’re putting in your belly.

At TMB, we’re all about doing things properly. No shortcuts, no cutting corners. When we say a cake is gluten-free, we mean it — because your health is far more important than anything else!

So when you see that “free from” label — ask yourself: Do they actually do it safely?

Stay safe, stay informed, and always know exactly what’s in your cake. 🍰

When I quoted my client for a custom cake, her jaw dropped! 💀

”You charge HOW much for a cake?!’”😳 - she looked at me like I’d asked her to give me her first born child

Me: pulls out the receipts like a lawyer in court
Here’s the tea and the math AKA the breakdown ☕🍰

But once I walked her through everything that goes into it she totally got it.

Ingredients, time, custom design … it all adds up

Let’s normalise pricing for skill, not just ingredients. 💅🎂

Knowing your worth isn’t rude. Explaining it isn’t begging.

Make sure you explain your value, don’t downplay it 👏

To my fellow cake artists: don’t shrink to fit a budget you can’t survive on ❤️

And if you have someone who says “Well what can I get for £30?”

…you can get a cupcake 🧁✨

I know you’re not meant to have favourites but I don’t think anything is ever gonna top this 😍

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

“They Say They Do Gluten Free…” Cross-contamination isn’t just a myth. It’s real. And it’s how you end up with a bloated wedding party and an angry group chat.

“They’re Not Registered or Insured” If your cake maker vanishes after the cake collapses, and they’re not insured — you’re not getting your money or your day back.

“They Say ‘Trust Me’… with No Hygiene Proof” I trust my dog. Doesn’t mean I want him making a three-tier.

“The Cake Looked Pretty… But Was It ALIVE?” True story: it was mouldy before they cut it. And no, that wasn’t a pistachio filling.

“They Do EVERYTHING” Pick someone who bakes cakes like it’s their religion. Not someone who also makes resin coasters and hamsters in hats.

“They’re Suspiciously Cheap” There’s a difference between affordable and “why does this taste like despair?” You get what you pay for.
 Your cake deserves better. Vet your baker. Ask questions. Check hygiene ratings. (Or just hire me — I like cake that doesn’t rot on the inside.)

If cake is my love language what are you picking as your food based answer? 🍰💕

9 years ago, I made my first gluten-free cake… and it was tragic 😅🫠

I wasn’t a professional baker. I was just someone who was tired of dry, dense, flavourless cakes being the only option 😩

That one terrible cake? It started everything 😍

I’ve spent years testing, failing, learning, and obsessing over how to make gluten-free cakes that actually taste good. Not just “good for gluten-free”… but just GOOD 🕺

And now, I get to make those cakes for others who felt like they were missing out 👯

This is why experience matters—GF baking isn’t just swapping flour, so if that’s you - stick around. You don’t have to settle 🎉

The best cake photos from Jemma + Young’s big day 💕

When Jeni came to me and said, “I want a disco skull wedding cake,” it was the stuff dreams are made of.

Literal glittering, slightly spooky, unhinged-in-the-best-way fever dreams.

And honestly? That’s exactly how it should be. Your wedding should scream YOU — in a colourful, chaotic, glitter-bomb sort of way.

Not just stand there quietly like a Victorian ghost holding a tiered fruitcake that no one actually wants to eat (sorry to anyone that got married in the 50s).
Want neon lights? Zombie figurines? A cake shaped like your dog riding a unicorn through a field of jellybeans?

YOUR 👏 WEDDING 👏 YOUR 👏 WAY

This is your day. Your weird, beautiful, gloriously offbeat love story deserves to be honoured with a cake that slays — not one that snoozes.

Sure traditional is cute. But being yourself?

That’s iconic 🪩✨

When Kate messaged me and asked if we could use part of their wedding cake to create something new for their baby boy it was such a special thing to be asked

To be able to be asked and to create something so important was such a privilege, meaning they could have exactly what they wanted along with the cake being gluten free and not having to compromise on anything they wanted

Along with this I’ve also made their gender reveal cupcakes + cake smash cake for their babies 1st birthday. To be a part of the most important milestones really is special.

Your cake, your way 💕

The most incredible review from a cake this weekend 💕

It’ll always be so special to me that I’m able to create these moments for your most important celebrations 🎉

A little snapshot of all the cakes lately 💕🎂

If you’re still settling for a last-minute supermarket cake on your birthday, we need to talk. 🚨

You want something fun, something exciting—something that actually makes your celebration feel special. But instead, you’re either spending hours trying to DIY a cake (and stressing over the results) or grabbing a supermarket cake that’s packed with cheap ingredients just to make it last longer. And let’s be real… you taste the difference. 😬

The good news? It’s fixable. Instead of wasting your time on something meh, order a custom cake—one that’s made just for you, with real quality ingredients and real artistry. 🎂✨

Life’s too short for boring cake. Celebrate the right way—with something fun, delicious, and totally YOU. Because for your big day, you deserve the BEST. 💖

Who’s ready to upgrade their birthday cake game? 🎉👇
