Hey all 👋

I've been quiet again 🙈

Sorry!

I have been so busy working on bits in the background, I've also been working as a mentor with another company and so with that, home edding my boy, looking after the kids, trying to sell our house and the craziness of Christmas I've barely had a moment to myself 😴

But I am very much planning for 2026 with new clubs, 1:1 availability and much MUCH more 🥰

We are even adding in party stuff and maybe a little cake options for very special occasions 👀

All will be revealed fairly soon I hope 🫶

I will try my best to keep posting and I'd really appreciate any interaction from you all 🖤

There's something incredibly rewarding about taking simple ingredients and turning them into something rich, beautiful, and absolutely delicious.

The aroma alone is worth the effort!

Plus, the best part? You get to customize everything. ✨

Here I made my own version of a snickers with peanut butter and dates 😍

All stuff I have laying around 🤩

I might have to do something with Nutella and roasted hazelnuts soon, there's just something about the festive period and hazelnuts for me 😋🎄

The outcome of our cookie jar gifts 🤩

A delicious soft cookie 😋

You of course could do smaller versions which would yield more cookies but honestly...the bigger the better 😜

I think making an adaptable version with white chocolate chips and little fudges prices would be immense too!

What version would you do?

🍪 Cookie jar gifts 🍪

Our first low cost, lovingly made Christmas gift ideas 💡🎁

These are great as you can recycle ♻️ your old jars, divide and multiply the recipe to accommodate for different size jars and create different versions!

They create a cake like cookie which are delicious 😋 I'll share a picture later 🤩

These are great as an activity with the kids or even in their sacks or Christmas eve boxes.

Make it with love and make it magical ✨

❄️ The secrets of Christmas magic ❄️

Told by wise old elf Reggie 🎄

It's not the expensive gift on Christmas day that makes the magic 🤫

It's the cookie making 🍪

Its the letter writing 📝

It's the putting the decorations up with Christmas music blaring 🎄

It's the gingerbread house or men making 🏠

It's walking around your neighbourhood to spot who's got their lights up 🚥

It's singing along to Christmas songs whilst wrapping presents 🎁

It's about eating festive foods and enjoying hot chocolates together whilst playing games ☕

It's about the amount of time you spend together... It's about making memories 🥹

So remember at Christmas, when you are hit with that consumerism guilt that you can't afford their over priced products. It's not that they remember, it's the magic of Christmas they do ✨

And it's something you will pass on for the next generation to remember.

I will be sharing some homemade gift ideas over the next week's that is low cost but high meaning.

It means more to people that you spent time thinking of something they'd enjoy than buying useless gifts and if it doesn't, then perhaps we need to start having a good look at ourselves 😏

Let's get back to having a Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁

✨Patience ✨

It is one of the main lesson I teach in cookery!

The great thing about food is it's adaptable, if it doesn't look or feel right, we can correct that!

Sometimes it takes longer to get to the stage we need and that's ok.

But when it does...it's magical 🪄

And they see that their patience pays off 🤗

As I sit and ponder at my tree, I think about how it's decorated.

It has decorations that are new, decorations the kids made, decorations from our first family tree.

It has bright colourful lights and is wrapped in tinsel and gold beads.

Our living room is decorated with lights older than me in fact and for me... This is what Christmas is about 🎄

I don't know how we transitioned from bright, colourful, cheery colours to cold blues and creams?

I know it's the fashion but for me, Christmas will always be this and I absolutely love it 🥰

Tackier the better 😂

Is there a greater experience than creating something amazing, that you are proud of AND can eat?!?

I'm not so sure but I think it's pretty amazing 🤩

It's why our edible art club would be an awesome experience for little creators!

The first 2026 6 week course would be with children aged 5-7 where we would explore different edible mediums and create beautiful pieces to bring home for you to see!

(sharing is not mandatory though 👀🤭)

I'll teach your epic creators food hygiene, I'll add in some bakers maths and the creative skills of piping, sculpting and painting 🎨🧁

Not only is my aim to impart wisdom...but it's to build confidence and self-esteem.

Fine tune them fine motor skills, help with hand eye coordination, teach them patience and how to work well in a team which improves their social skills and also help with their focus...and that's only a few very small benefits of our class 🤩

If you'd be interested in your little ones joining our 90 minute class in 2026, please register your interest by email or message.

Our Story

Asylum of cakery is the home of insane cakes.

Technically a team of one with an additional pair of eyes.

By we I mean my husband and I, I personally do design, bake, sculpt, clean, advertise and my husband helps with frame work and tweaking.

We have been around since 2013 and tend to do some pretty awesome cakes and still have so many to come! Baking was not something that came naturally to us and we have not been doing it all our lives but one day on a frosty January morning, we decided to make a cake for our mothers birthday and it was a horrific mess but it spurred on this desire to improve ... and that we did.
