Written by the company

Bake To The Future is an award winning independent cake company run by me, Lou! Based in Ashford and covering the whole of Kent, Bake To The Future was established in 2016. ​ I made my first cake in June 2012, it was a Superman themed Father's Day cake for my husband and it was far too big and totally wonky but I loved every second of the 12 hours I spent working on it. Four years and dozens of cakes later, I decided to take the final leap in to the World of cakes and register with Ashford Borough Council as a food business. Achieving my 5* rating from environmental health is one of my proudest moments. I also hold a level 2 qualification in food safety and hygiene and a level 2 qualification in catering, I have also passed a government course on allergens. Bake To The Future was born from my love of creating truly unique, eye catching cakes that combine my natural love and flair for baking with my eye for detail and design. I work closely with every client from the first contact until they have received and enjoyed their cake to ensure that it meets and exceeds every expectation. I offer a professional, friendly service and high quality products. I am dedicated to making every cake the best I can, I am always learning new skills and developing or improving my techniques. This includes attending specialist courses and studying cake and food practices. I love learning and growing as an artist and as a business owner. I always push myself to be more! This is how I have achieved two Merits and Bronze awards at Cake International and had my work featured in Cake Masters Magazine, Cake Decoration & Sugarcraft Magazine and Your Kent Wedding Magazine as well as the Angelfoods Podcast and a range on International blogs. I am very proud to be a recommended supplier at The Blue Pigeons in Worth, Broome Park Hotel in Canterbury and The Abbots Barton Hotel in Canterbury. I am also recommended and/or featured on Bridebook, The Wedding Industry Supplier Network, Unconventional Wedding, The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation and Whimsical Wonderland Weddings. My business has gone from strength to strength over the years and I have achieved more than I ever dreamt possible but as my business grows so do my ambitions and I'd love to have you along for the ride! ​ See you in the future! ​Lou

Star Wars Elegance Cake for our wedding

The most wonderful cake, the most wonderful person which added to the most wonderful wedding! From our initial meeting with Lou we absolutely fell in love with her enthusiasm and knowledge and design ideas not to mention the taste test which we as awesome! Lou created the best Star Wars/elegance three tiered cake for our wedding and smashed every element from look to taste! We honestly couldn’t be happier with the result and the cake was a huge talking point of the wedding. Lou is fantastic and we can’t recommend her enough especially if you, like us want something with a different twist. Thank you Lou!!

Amazing taste and design

Lou is remarkable. From initial enquiry onwards, we knew our wedding cake was in safe hands. Cake was of paramount importance to us in planning our wedding (being massive cake fans and keen amateur bakers ourselves) so when it came to choosing someone to make our wedding cake, we had really high standards and expectations. Lou surpassed our expectations! We loved the design of the cake and that it was so personal to us, and it fitted in without our chess theme perfectly. The cake was visually stunning and it was the best cake we’ve ever tasted! Thank you Lou!

Amazing wedding cake

Lou made us an absolutely beautiful wedding cake and took such care to design it with us. We had the cake for our wedding meal dessert and everyone loved it and kept saying how delicious it was. Lou was also so kind when we had to postpone our wedding due to covid in transferring our cake over to our new date and coming to drop it off at the venue for us amid a busy day. Thank you so much Lou for this wonderful experience.

Most delicious cakes ever!

We have had: dozens of fandom cupcakes, most recently Matrix cupcakes, a Game of Thrones red velvet cake, a pot of 'flowers' (made of the best coffee cupcakes you ever tasted!), a Morse code cake, a Silver Wedding cake (made of the best lemon cake & icing you ever tasted!), hot chocolate bombs in all flavours, cake pots - all sorts! Lou makes the most fantastically delicious cakes, is attentive and inventive, and we basically love her! If you can come up with an idea, she'll come up with a way to make a cake out of it, and you absolutely won't be disappointed!
