Let me introduce myself!
With lots of new followers, I thought I would re-introduce myself and show you inside my Billericay cake studio.
My name is Heather and I am the face behind The Cake Creative. I first started my cake journey in 2016 when I was on maternity leave with my son.
I have always worked in the fast paced hospitality industry, which had taken me all over the world.
From Disney world, Florida, to Fiji, New Zealand and back to England where I worked as a Wedding Coordinator for a beautiful Essex venue -
So I started baking as a hobby and to keep my hands & mind busy while my son slept, plus who doesn’t love home made cake!
It soon turned into a passion and I carried on baking at every opportunity, when I returned to work.
A year & a half later, a mental breakdown and being signed off work for 6 weeks, I felt that someone was telling me that I needed to pursue my baking and go all in with my business. It was scary at first, but I’m lucky to have amazing family & friends who supported me.
I also found the amazing at this time, who I don’t think I would have been able to get where I am now without.
6 years later I have a beautiful studio to create my cakes in, I was a finalist for cake designer of the year 2025 and I am planning my next venture into teaching cake decorating classes.
Creating gorgeous & fun cakes is my passion, and I am so glad that I took the chance and made the leap & had the grit and determination to pursue it!
