WEDDING & OCCASION CAKES IN SURREY
AND BEYOND

BAKES BY HESTER

Three-tiered cake decorated with edible dried flower petals, displayed on a wooden slab with a white base, with white floral arrangements in the background against a brick wall.

I create bespoke buttercream wedding and celebration cakes from my kitchen in Alfold, Surrey.

Each cake is baked to order using fresh, high-quality ingredients, with a focus on flavour, texture and simple, elegant design.

GET IN TOUCH

While a cake should always look beautiful,
I believe the real magic is in the bake itself.

For me, it’s about creating cakes that people talk about afterwards - the ones that disappear quickly, where every slice is just as good as the first.

I spend time carefully developing flavours and getting the texture just right, so that each cake feels special not just in how it looks, but in how it’s enjoyed.

Hey, I’m Hester

I’m a Surrey-based baker creating bespoke buttercream cakes for weddings and celebrations.

From my kitchen in Alfold, I design and bake each cake to be enjoyed as part of your day - with a focus on flavour, texture and thoughtful, elegant details.

MY STORY

“Amazing service from start to finish!

We absolutely loved the flavour options Hester offered - we've never seen banana and biscoff anywhere else before! The cake was stunning, both visually and in terms of flavour. All of our guests commented on how tasty the cake was too.

Highly recommend Hester!”

The Process

  • Please fill out my contact form with as much detail as you can about your plans. I aim to respond to all enquiries within 3–4 working days — although as I’m often in the kitchen (and with my twin boys), replies may occasionally take a little longer.

  • Once I’ve confirmed availability for your date, we can chat through your ideas — from flavours to style and overall feel. From there, I’ll create a bespoke quote tailored to you.

  • If you’re happy to go ahead, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due:

    • 1 week before the event for celebration cakes and corporate bakes

    • 4 weeks before the event for wedding cakes

  • For wedding cakes and larger orders, I’ll be in touch to arrange delivery and set-up. Smaller celebration cakes are usually available for collection from Alfold.
