About Virginia Valentine

I have been creating concept cakes as a hobby since the age of about 15 and have been working as a professional cake designer and decorator since 2005.

My approach is very contemporary, I rarely work at all in fruit cake (don’t like an easy life!) and offer you a wide choice of delicious sponge cakes using family recipes handed down to me by my Grandmother, together with my own innovations to create a simply delicious cake. It is as important to me that the inside tastes as nice as the outside looks!

I take great pride and care over your cake. Each one is special to me, and I will make everything fresh to order for you. Most of the decorations are hand crafted by me, with only 1 or 2 exceptions where uniformity is needed and it is impossible to do so by hand.

When you buy from Angel Cakes, you are assured of personal attention and great care is taken over the creation of your special cake.

Angel Cake Price Guide

The reason we say guide is because we prepare a quotation for you once you are clearer as to what your requirements are. There are so many styles to choose from and what might seem like a minor alteration to you might be something that takes us hours to achieve and would affect the price considerably. Our prices do reflect the fact that we spend a lot of time hand crafting all the detail, often we would only produce 3 to 4 wedding cakes in a week, spending around 40 hours on more complex ones. To see example prices, follow the 'Cake Gallery' button above.
This guide is intended to tell you a little bit about Angel Cakes, my Terms and Conditions, Prices, Information, Cake Stand Hire and other useful things you really need to know when considering ordering a wedding cake from us.
