Celebrating Life’s Sweetest Moments By the Sea

Hello, I'm Emma — baker of rustic, handcrafted celebration cakes and Cornish bakes from my little kitchen in Carbis Bay, just a stone’s throw from St Ives.

From weddings and birthdays to anniversaries and seaside getaways, I love creating cakes and bakes to mark life’s sweetest moments. Inspired by Cornwall’s rich baking heritage and using the finest local ingredients, every bake comes with a story, a little tradition, and a lot of love.

Emma made our wedding cake last month and it was everything we’d hoped for. Simple, beautiful and utterly delicious. The perfect Cornish touch to our day.

Emma created the perfect anniversary cake for our weekend in Cornwall. It was almost too pretty to cut… but we’re glad we did!
— Tom & Lottie, Bristol
Had a surprise cake made for my 60th birthday. My wife organised it and it was delivered to our cottage.
What a beautiful cake. Not only in looks but in taste.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone. Thank you so much.
