Inspired by the beauty and texture of the natural world, Heather is dedicated to providing a fun, stress free planning experience, whether it's your wedding day or a major event.

Heather works closely with clients to design a cake that suits their unique taste, style and personality. Her custom cakes incorporate the ambience of the day her clients dream about.
