Linda made the cake for our wedding at Thornton Manor on 27th November and I cannot thank her enough! The cake was absolutely stunning, we received so many compliments about it, and it tasted absolutely delicious!
Linda was so accommodating when we had to postpone for a year due to Covid, and put up with me changing my mind on numerous occasions. We cannot thank her enough, the cake was a dream and I wish we could eat it every day!

Cannot recommend buttercup cakes highly enough. Linda made our wedding cake 5 years ago which was absolutely amazing. More recently we have ordered the brownies by post which were honestly the nicest brownies we have ever had (and believe me we have tried a lot). We had the salted caramel and creme egg ones, both were to die for. We have just placed another order and cannot wait for it to arrive, thank you Linda!

Linda and Ian are a fantastic team. The business is expertly run, communication is prompt and clear, and they are both extremely personable and you'll enjoy liaising with them!
Now, onto the cake. UNBELIEVABLE. The post box brownies and cake jars are such a gorgeous treat, the cake jars taste divine and the brownies are like heaven on earth. Seriously, I think Linda's salted caramel brownie needs to win awards, it's ridiculously good!! I've sent several boxes of goodies to friends during lockdown and all have been appreciated, it's a great way of celebrating birthdays and occasions from afar!

The cake that Linda made for our wedding absolutely blew us away when we walked into the room, it looked stunning and even better than we could have imagined.
Linda herself was lovely when we had our consultation a few months previous. There are so many examples in her shop from rustic charm to glitz and glamour, which you can pick and choose or take inspiration from. We knew we wanted an elegant, timeless design with some key details that would make it stand out from the average white, 3-tier wedding cake but didn't really know what exactly we wanted. Linda was amazing in guiding us, accommodating

Linda and her husband from Buttercup cakes were so lovely to deal with. Our wedding cake was absolutely stunning and tasted just as good, if not better then it looked (Which is saying something!) The detailing was perfect and we had so many compliments on it. Thank you so much for everything! Couldn't recommend enough! X

My Wife and I cannot thank Linda enough for our AMAZING wedding cake. From start to finish Linda was very friendly, professional and listened to exactly what we wanted. We chose a 3 tier semi naked cake with sugar flowers. Our sponge flavours were Victoria sponge, salted caramel and chocolate nutella. All of which were absolutely delicious!
All of our friends and family commented on how lovely the cake looked and tasted!
We were so pleased that we chose Buttercup cakes, that my Wife also surprised me on my 30th birthday a few months after our wedding, with a tall 'drip' celebration cake, in my

I attended a fantastic 2 day course and produced this fabulously elegant 3 tier wedding cake dummy. Linda is such a fantastic teacher you couldnt fail to produce a finished cake to a high standard. This is the 2nd class i have attended, the first being the 2 tier cake course earlier this year was also fantastic. My intentions are to do more courses next year. When you see the price of all the courses they are so reasonably prices for what they entail it would be a shame if you didnt book a place for the next classes. Thank you Linda for everything you have taught me and i cant wait for more courses
