Established in 2012, Cakes by Katy was born from a childhood love of baking. All cakes are designed, baked and created by myself in my purpose built, at home studio.

High quality and fresh ingredients are used to create all of my cakes.

I pride myself in the flavour and texture.

‘Your Wedding Cake should look incredible, it should taste even better’

Testimonial

‘What can we say Katy, our wedding cake was simply breathtaking in its elegance and was truly scrumptious. The attention to detail you had with everything was fantastic taking in elements of our wedding invitations to my wedding flowers .

Each of the flavours was amazing and our guests couldn’t get enough!

From the first time we met at the wedding fayre to our cake tasting we knew you would produce something truly spectacular and you didn’t disappoint.

You understood the brief perfectly and just look it as high as it would go and the result was not only in style and elegance but in taste .

Katy is fantastic to work with, always so happy and enthusiastic and we can’t recommend her enough.’ - Catherine Norris

About

My name is Katy Warrington-Banfield and I am the owner of Cakes by Katy.

I am based in Swansea, South Wales and specialise in bespoke Wedding and Celebration Cakes.

I grew up with a love of baking, every opportunity I had, was spent in the kitchen making sweet treats.

Whilst studying Fine Art in Liverpool I continued to make birthday cakes for friends.

Then I hopped on the growing cupcake trend in 2012, which was when Cakes by Katy was born.

However, cupcakes alone didn't open a wide enough avenue for my creativity, so I was frustrated.

Then in 2013 my best friend got engaged. Her fiancé asked me if I could make their Wedding Cake, I had absolutely no experience and thought it was way beyond my abilities.

I told them to leave it with me and I shall have a practice. I soon discovered this was where my love of baking and creating works of art came together.

As the saying goes, the rest is history...

I love to create bespoke cakes for my clients. Working together we can create your dream cake.

A wedding cake needs to look fantastic, show stopping, a centre piece for your Reception. However I always say ‘It needs to taste as good as it looks, if not better!’

I pride myself in the taste and texture of all my cakes. I have worked for many years perfecting my recipes and finding the perfect ingredients.

For instance, my very popular Belgian Chocolate & Salted Caramel cake, contains only 100% Belgian Chocolate, absolutely no cocoa powder.

It is always an honour when a couple chooses my work to be part of their wedding day, or a family asks me to create the special cake for that someone they love.

Wedding cakes are my true passion.

From first contact through to delivery, I savour every moment and am greatful I get to call this my 'job'.

I handle every moment myself, from your first phone call or message, all the way through to delivery and set up.

Arriving at a venue to deliver my creation is such a high for me. Visiting the most beautiful venues and getting to witness the setup of these magical days.

I feel so much joy at that moment I finish my set up, step back and take it all in. Then I think 'Wow, I made that'. That's why I do this, that's the moment I wait for with every cake.

Booking your Wedding Cake

I have created this page to help guide you through the process of booking your Wedding Cake.

Plus a guide on cake size per servings and price starting points.

All my cakes are created with the upmost of love and care. I take pride in building a relationship with you, to ensure you get a show stopping edible centre piece, that tastes incredible, for your special day.

The Booking Process

Firstly, Congratulations on your Engagment.

Once you have found and secured the venue and date for your Wedding, it is time to find your suppliers.

Here are a few bullet points to help us both make your initial enquiry as efficient as possible. You can either email, message on social media or text the following information through...

- Wedding date.

- Reception venue.

- Number of guests you would like the cake to serve.

- Style/styles of cake you like (please feel free to send photos)

- Any design ideas/inspiration

Once I have received all the information, I will check availability and get back to you as soon as possible. If I have availability I will include an estimate price bracket based on the information you gave above.

If you are happy with the guide price and wish to proceed you will be offered a Cake Tasting Box ffor £20, to collect (delivery is unfortunately not available at this time). This contains all 10 delicious sponge flavours which are listed on the flavour page. 1 box is enough for 2 people.

I believe its so important to taste your potential Wedding Cake before you book it. I pride myself on the taste of my cakes.

Once you have decided you would like me to create your Wedding Cake, I will arrange a phone consultation to discuss everything.

I will then sketch a design for you and send a quote.

You will then be sent an online contract and be able to pay a £100 non-refundable deposit to fully secure your Wedding Cake date.

You do not have to make final decisions on your cake design at this stage, it is up to you. This can be done closer to your Wedding if you wish.

One month before your Wedding we will ensure all details are finalised. This is when your final balance is due.

If your cake requires fresh/faux flowers, I recommend these are always supplied by your florist so they match your décor/bouquets. I will arrange them on the Cake.

All Wedding Cakes are delivered and set-up by myself. I will liase with your florist and venue to arrange a delivery and setup time. This means you can relax and enjoy your big day, knowing your cake is in good hands.

Testimonials

‘Cakes by Katy made our wedding cake and it was absolutely beautiful. It not only looked amazing but tasted amazing too. Katy was so helpful, friendly and professional from start to finish. To be able to send an idea and for her to not just recreate it but to make it even better was so amazing. We can’t thank you enough for making the best wedding cake ever. Thank you’ - Danni & Sam

‘Katy made our wedding cake and we couldn’t have asked for more - she was so helpful with making design suggestions and made us the most amazing authentic looking sugar flowers when we needed a last minute cake topper change. All 4 flavours were delicious & the whole cake was just perfect. Brilliant communication & so friendly, highly recommended! Thanks Katy!’ - Angela Thomas

‘Katy is absolutely fantastic!! From the very beginning her professionalism and creativity is unique. Katy will design the most perfect cake for you and listens to all your ideas to make your dream cake come true.

The amount of effect and that goes into each and every cake is without a doubt by far the best you will ever get. Katy not only remains very professional but also likes to build a relationship with her clients and most definitely you become more than just your cake maker but friends too.

The cakes taste out of this world and any flavour is possible. I can't wait to tuck into some more right now!’ - Eleanor Davies

‘From the initial tester box to the final cakes, all I can say is WOW. what an amazing and kind person Katy is, giving me so much of her time to talk through design ideas and ingredients. about 3 weeks before the wedding I became lactose intolerant but this did not stop Katy from experimenting with lactose free products so I could have my very own tier! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our cake so special and delicious!!’ - Frances Jones

‘Katy made our wedding cake and I honestly don't even know where to begin with this review. The cake looked absolutely outstanding, the bottom tier was decorated to look like a log and our guests couldn't believe it was actually cake. We chose four different flavours and each one tasted incredible (I think my favourite was the carrot and pecan, but it's a tough choice to make). Katy kept us updated with the baking and decorating progress in the days before so we never felt worried.

I can't recommend Katy enough, you can just tell how much love and care goes into her baking.’ - Katie Lesniak

‘Thank you Katy for creating our dream wedding cake, in fact better than we could have dreamed of. It was out of this world, so unusual and fitted with our starry wedding theme perfectly. You took my inspiration pictures and came up with a design that was original, unique, but totally had the vibe of the ideas we discussed - only better! It tasted phenomenal too - truly delicious.

Thank you xxx’ - Aleana Mason

‘Katy is such a talented person. Our cake was incredible! It was absolutely perfect and it tasted phenomenal. Our guests were commenting on the exquisite detail and the flowers looked so real! I would recommend Katy to anyone. Thank you so much!xx’ - Emily
