The Art Of Cake
We were blown away by the 'Old Town - Hastings' themed cake scene that Sylvia created for us, to help us say goodbye to our dearly loved colleagues. The creativity and attention to detail was incredible. The different cake flavours went down a treat with our 200 plus guests. Thank you Sylvia. We absolutely loved our cake and so did our guests.

We even had guests who said the didn't normally eat cake at weddings but loved the lemon and kept going back for more. The cake looked and tasted amazing. Thank you so much. The cake was one of the most artistic, beautifully crafted, tasty and moist cakes i have ever seen. It was amazing! Hello Sylvia, I just wanted to let you know that I've added a pin of the amazing wedding cake you made us, to my Pinterest account.

I love the challenge of bringing your dreams to life. Every cake that I design is unique. My aim is to create a spectacular centrepiece cake that is personal to you, reflecting your individuality, your personality and story. Your cake can be in a contemporary, vintage, traditional or quirky style. I am happy to design whatever you have in mind.
It is very important to me that your cake tastes as stunning as it looks. All my bakes are freshly made from scratch in the Art of Cake kitchen (with a five star health and hygiene rating). I use the finest ingredients, and my flavoursome cakes are lovingly layered with home made buttercreams, conserves and curds.
All my cakes are bespoke and designed to be personal to the recipient or bridal couple. Therefore, it is not possible to give exact prices without completing the design process. Price depends on the size of the cake and the complexity of the design.

I can advise you on the amount of cake you will need for the number of guests you have, (although you may wish to have a larger cake than absolutely necessary, in order to create a 'wow' factor for a very special occasion).Cake tiers are usually between 4 and 5 inches tall, sometimes taller, depending on your chosen design.
Here in the Art of Cake kitchen, I run classes to give you the opportunity to develop your cake decorating skills. Whether you are a complete beginner or have some skills already, I can help you take your work or hobby to the next level. I aim to inspire you and give you the confidence to create your own edible works of art.
As far as possible! The busiest time of year is May through October and also December. If you are interested in ordering a celebration cake during these months, please try to allow at least 3 weeks to 2 months notice, and I am happy to take orders further in advance. I may be able to take short notice orders, depending on my availability.

Sylvia is an artist whose medium is sugar. Her cakes are exquisite to look at and delicious to eat. Sylvia has amazing attention to detail and takes personal pride in every individual cake she produces. Her work is truly beautiful.

Sylvia has made a number of cakes over the years for special family birthdays and they have all been truly amazing. Her cakes are absolutely delicious and the designs have always been a real talking point. She is a real cake artist. I highly recommend!

This is the second cake that Sylvia has made for me and once again absolutely fantastic. Sylvia works closely with you in a professional manner to get to exactly what you want. The cake is to perfection in… favour, ( the chocolate fudge cake, chocolate buttercream & chocolate ganache was to die for ) and consistency, decor. Would 100% recommend. Big thank you once again Sylvia.

Syliva recently created our wedding cake which was a piece of art! It was almost a shame to have to eat it but at the same time we couldn't wait to dig in as we still remembered how delicious the flavors were from our trial.
I was under the impression that usually you end up with quite a bit of cake leftover after a wedding that you can take home and eat at a later date.. unfortunately this was not the situation at all as our guests happily ate basically all of it!
I would highly recommend her as she is an artistic genius and all round lovely person! I will definitely be using her again as soon
