Rachel Bakes

I am a Le Cordon Bleu trained patisserie chef. I decided to follow my dream of baking full time not too long ago and left my job as a physio to begin my course at Le Cordon Bleu London. I gained experience in a variety of roles in a couple of central London bakeries and then decided to start selling out of my home and my business has only grown! For as long as I can remember I have loved hosting with a particular enjoyment from creating sweet and savoury treats to suit all. I have built up from supplying little evening treats to being able to cater for over 100 guests in an event setting and this is where passion shows.

My full menu is made up of French patisserie and home comfort bakes as well as a sweet and savoury afternoon tea selection and celebration cakes. All my bakes are available in 3 sizes from handheld canapé style to sharing dessert and coffee servings. My handheld style desserts are perfect for a dessert table, for smaller dinner parties, to events with over 100 guests. All my products are made fresh to order and every dessert table is unique to the customers preferences.

I also offer a variety of flavours and decoration of celebration cake, providing the centre piece to the dessert table. With the event theme and colours I will work with the customer to create a showstopper centre piece and a selection of smaller desserts to surround it. I have experience catering for a number of weddings and many birthday celebrations as well as baby showers and hen dos. After the initial introduction I have a number of straight forward guides on how to choose and build the customers perfect celebration cake and dessert selection. I have a variety of options of recyclable packaging and suggestions for displaying the cake and sweet treats so the dessert table really is the star of the show.
