🏆🌸 I ONLY WENT AND WON IT!!! 🌸🏆

I genuinely can’t quite believe I’m writing this…

🥇 1ST PLACE — BEST IN BUSINESS
at The Great Malvern Cake Off 2026!!

My “Bloomin’ Lovely Cakes” entry came FIRST! 😭🌸

After all the hours of baking, buttercream, piping flowers, changing my mind, worrying whether it was good enough and that very early trip to Malvern this morning to set it all up… I WON!!

And after spending the last few weeks absolutely TERRIFIED about Sunday’s live demonstration and wondering what on earth im doing amongst all those incredible bakers and chefs…

Maybe I’m allowed to feel just a tiny bit proud of myself today. 🥹🏆

Thank you so much to everyone who supports Caption Catering, books me, recommends me, shares my posts and cheers me on. This little business of mine has come such a long way.

Right… I think this calls for a celebration!! 🥂😂 (but first I've a few more cakes to make and an afternoon tea to prep 🤦🏽‍♀️)

And then I suppose I’d better practise for Sunday… because apparently I’ve got a reputation to live up to now! 😬😂🌸

Well… my Malvern cake is in! 🌸😬

It was an early start this morning for the very careful journey over to the Malvern Autumn Show to deliver and set up my entry for the Great Malvern Cake Off Best in the Business category.

I’m not going to lie, I was nervous enough transporting the thing 😂 but once it was safely set up I could finally breathe again.

I’m really pleased with how the whole display came together. Lots of hand-piped buttercream flowers, matching floral cupcakes and, of course, the lovely cart that Jeremy made for me. ❤️

Then I made the mistake of sneaking into the Cake Off Theatre while it was empty…

😳😳😳

Rows and rows of chairs.

The stage.

The lights.

And then I spotted my name on the board…

The Art of Buttercream Flowers

And suddenly this whole thing became VERY real. 😂

I am so nervous about Sunday. I’ve never done anything like this before and standing up there demonstrating in front of an audience is completely outside my comfort zone.

There are some incredible people on that line-up too, which isn’t helping the nerves! 😂

But I said yes, so I’m doing it. I’ll turn up with my piping bags, buttercream and flowers and hopefully once I start piping I’ll forget there are people watching me. 🤞🌸

For today though, I’m just relieved that the cake arrived in one piece and is sitting there ready for the show.

And seeing Caption Catering written on that theatre programme?
That was a bit of a moment. ❤️

Wish me luck… I think I’m going to need it! 😬🌸

🌿🤍 TODAY’S WEDDING CAKE | BIRTSMORTON COURT 🤍🌿

Today’s wedding cake delivery took me to the absolutely beautiful Birtsmorton Court… and what a gorgeous setting for this one.

Three tiers of buttercream cake, decorated with a cascade of individually hand-piped buttercream flowers in the softest creams and ivory, finished with delicate green leaves. 🌸

And yes… every single flower you can see is piped by hand in buttercream. No moulds, no artificial flowers — just piping bags, nozzles and rather a lot of buttercream!

I love the way the flowers tumble from the top and cascade all the way down the three tiers, and against that incredible foliage wall it looked as though it had been designed especially for that spot. 🌿

Of course, the pretty finished photograph doesn’t show the slightly less glamorous part of making wedding cakes…

Getting the thing there! 😂

Three tiers of cake are HEAVY. 💪 Carrying it out to the car, the white-knuckle journey where every pothole, corner and roundabout suddenly becomes your worst enemy… and then carrying it from the car and into the venue! 😬

There is always a VERY big sigh of relief when it’s finally safely in position. 😂

But standing back afterwards and seeing something I’ve spent hours creating sitting there ready for such an important day makes it all worthwhile. 🤍

A huge congratulations to today’s newlyweds. 🥂 I hope you’ve had the most wonderful wedding day and enjoy every last slice.

Handmade. Hand-piped. Completely individual.

Just how I like my wedding cakes to be. 🤍

🌻 A little box of sunshine… or FOUR! 🌻

24 floral cupcakes, freshly baked and individually hand-piped, all boxed up and ready to go. 💛

I absolutely loved this colour palette — warm golden yellows, soft creams and fresh greens, with sunflowers, roses, daisies and delicate garden-style blooms. Each flower is piped by hand in buttercream, so no two are ever quite the same.

And this is exactly why I love floral cupcakes so much. They’re not just cupcakes… they make such a gorgeous gift, centrepiece or alternative to a traditional celebration cake. 🌼

Everything you see here is cake and buttercream — made from scratch, made fresh to order, and made to taste every bit as lovely as it looks.

24 little edible flowers, all heading off to brighten somebody’s day. 💛🌻

If you have a birthday, celebration, wedding or simply someone who deserves flowers AND cake, pop me a message and we can create something especially for you.

🌸🎂 IT’S MALVERN WEEK!! 🎂🌸

Well… there’s no backing out now! 😂

This Sunday, 27th September, I’ll be heading to the Great Malvern Autumn Show — and this year I’m doing something WAY outside my comfort zone.

At 11am, I’ll be stepping onto the Malvern Cake Off Theatre stage for a 45-minute live buttercream floral demonstration, hosted by Chris Bavin.

Yes. Me. On a stage. With a microphone. Piping flowers in front of actual people. 😳😂

I’ve seen the line-up for the weekend and there are some incredibly talented bakers, chefs and familiar faces appearing… so the nerves are VERY real!

But that’s not all…

🎂 I’ve also entered the BEST IN BUSINESS cake competition.

And this one means a lot to me.

I spend so much of my time creating cakes and food for other people’s special occasions. There’s always a brief, a colour scheme, a customer waiting, a collection time or a wedding deadline.

This cake is different.

This one is mine.

My chance to create something that represents me, my style and Caption Catering — the florals, the detail, the slightly different touches and everything I’ve learnt over the years.

And because I apparently don’t like an easy life, I’ll be creating my competition cake alongside a week of actual customer orders AND preparing everything for Sunday’s demonstration. 😂

Six years ago I started Caption Catering from my home kitchen.

This Sunday I’ll have a cake entered into Best in Business AND I’ll be standing on the Malvern stage demonstrating something that has become such a huge part of my business.

When I actually stop and think about that, I’m pretty proud. 🥹🖤

I’m nervous.
I’m excited.
I’m probably going to question my life choices several times this week. 😂

But I’m going to give both of them absolutely everything I’ve got.

If you’re heading to Malvern on Sunday, PLEASE come and say hello and give me a friendly face to look at from that stage! 😂

And I’ll be sharing little snippets of the Best in Business cake as it comes together this week… although I might not show you everything just yet. 👀🎂🌸

Right then Malvern… let’s see what Caption Catering can do. 🖤

🤍 Yesterday’s Celebration of Life | Hope Mansell Village Hall

Yesterday I had the privilege of catering for a Celebration of Life at Hope Mansell Village Hall.

These are never just another catering job to me.

When a family is saying goodbye to somebody they love, food is probably one of the last things they want to have to worry about. My job is to quietly take care of that part for them — freshly preparing everything, delivering it, setting it all out and making sure it looks as beautiful and welcoming as it possibly can.

Yesterday’s table was filled with homemade savouries, sandwiches, quiches, sausage rolls, little bites, cakes and brownies, all dressed with fresh flowers, foliage and berries.

But my favourite detail has to be the family photographs tucked amongst the food. 🤍

Such a simple touch, but one that made the table completely personal to the person everyone had gathered to remember.

I genuinely believe that a funeral tea or Celebration of Life deserves every bit as much care and attention as any other occasion I cater.

Beautiful food. Thoughtfully presented. Made from scratch with quality ingredients — and one less thing for a family to have to think about on an incredibly difficult day.

For the love of food. 🤍

Funeral teas & Celebration of Life catering available throughout Ross-on-Wye, the Forest of Dean and surrounding areas.

An early start in the Caption Catering kitchen this morning… 🌅

These needed to be freshly made, packed and ready for 8.30am collection for one of my regular corporate customers.

Today’s lunch was for just four people — because corporate catering certainly doesn’t have to mean feeding a huge office!

On the menu today…

🌿 Mediterranean chicken
🌿 Herby orzo
🌿 Roasted peppers & courgettes
🌿 Cucumber & cherry tomatoes
🌿 Crumbled feta
🌿 Fresh mixed leaves
🌿 Toasted mixed seeds for that extra crunch
🌿 Creamy herb dressing

And for something sweet… homemade raspberry & white chocolate blondies, served with plenty of gorgeous fresh berries and grapes. 🍓

Colourful, fresh, filling and SO much more exciting than a supermarket sandwich at your desk! 😂

This is exactly the kind of corporate catering I love to create — whether I’m making lunch for 4 people or 40, the same care and attention goes into every order.

And that’s really what Caption Catering is all about…

No mass-produced food. No shortcuts. Just fresh, real, homemade food, made from scratch using quality ingredients and produce from brilliant local suppliers wherever I can. ❤️

Good food doesn’t need to be overcomplicated. It just needs great ingredients, proper flavour and someone who genuinely cares about what they’re putting on your plate.

Fresh. Homemade. Real food. Always.

If you’d like something a little different for your next team lunch, meeting or training day, just pop me a message. 🖤

A little birthday treat… Caption Catering style 🎂✨

A gorgeous grazing box headed out today, packed full of all the good stuff ❤️

Cheeses, charcuterie, homemade savouries, fresh fruit, crackers, chutney and lots of those little extra touches that make it feel really special — right down to the edible flowers 🌸

Because sometimes the best birthday present is one you can eat! 😍

These make such a lovely alternative to a traditional gift, whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, thank you or simply a “thinking of you” treat.

Everything freshly prepared and beautifully presented, as always.

Would you rather receive flowers 💐 or a box full of food like this? 👀

For the love of food ❤️
