She responded saying this was fine and we would touch base later regarding finer details. I messaged Yolanda on the 18th January with the wedding approaching, but received an automated reply. We were confused about this as she was continuing to post frequently on social media. My Mum tried to phone and message her on the numbers we had been given, and I sent a final message on 30th January to ask if she could please remove our name from her diary as we had not had the courtesy of a response. Yolanda’s reviews are very positive and I understand that her cakes are very good. However, this was an appalling thing to do to people in the lead up to their wedding at an already stressful time. To continue to post on social media without the decency of a reply is the height of bad manners and no way to conduct a business. I would warn anyone thinking about using her service to be aware of this.

And again. If Yolanda was unable to fulfil the order she should have had the decency to make contact and tell us. Instead we were left sourcing another baker five weeks before the wedding. No way to run a business. Very disappointing, not to mention stressful !

Well worth pre ordering, make sure you get enough, as one will not be enough. Next, the handmade chocolates are to die for! Little hits of delicious chocolatey goodness. Beautifully flavoured and presented. Yolanda is really personable and friendly. If you need a bespoke birthday cake, or something sweet to tackle your cravings… this is the go to place.

She not only helped out when I was in a.bind (away packing my Daughter up from uni) she kindly went above and beyond and delivered it when she was passing on her day off. Much appreciated oh and was deliciously moist!
