SugarLily Cakes and Confectionery are bespoke and made to order and Kerry offers a personal consultation service, generally by means of detailed emails, promising to work closely with you to help you find a design that perfectly reflects the sense of occasion, your personal style and budget.  You may wish to use the gallery of images on the website and designs from her portfolio as inspiration, or you may have a collection of your own images which Kerry can combine with details unique to your celebration  in order to design the perfect cake or sweet treat for your occasion.

Kerry’s commitment to quality and flavour ensures that only the finest ingredients are used and that all produce is freshly baked to order. She uses traditional baking techniques to create deliciously moist cakes and fills them with silky smooth chocolate ganache and quality preserves. Whichever flavour you choose, SugarLily Cakes are made with the love they deserve.

Kerry believes the flavour of the cake should reflect your personality just as much as the design itself and likes to offer the opportunity for you to combine the tastes of your favourite sweet treats to create a cake that is deliciously perfect for you. She generally uses a base of Chocolate, White Vanilla or Caramel Mudcake to begin with, which are all delicious in their pure, unadulterated state, but can also have a twist of flavour added for those that would like something a little extra.
The flavours can be added to the actual cake itself or to the filling and it’s sometimes nice to add a preserve too for an extra dimension. There are so many wonderful combinations to choose from, the list seems endless but here is a list of flavours that work well with the different base cakes to get your tastebuds thinking:

Chocolate: Mint, Mint Choc Chip, Orange (Jaffa), Hazelnut, Coffee, Cherry & Coconut, Banana, Peanut, Coconut & Lime, Ginger & Lime, Red Wine, Favourite Liqueur or Spirit ie Rum, Whisky, Brandy, Baileys, Tia Maria, Cointreau, Grand Marnier, Butterscotch Schnapps etc

White Vanilla: Lemon, Lime, Orange, Strawberry, Raspberry, Raspberry & Coconut, Raspberry & Lemon, Raspberry & Almond, Banana, Coffee, Maple Syrup, Hazelnut, Walnut & Coffee, Rosewater & Pistachio, Pineapple & Coconut, Mango & Coconut, Lime & Coconut, Lime & Ginger, Passionfruit, Pink Strawberry Champagne, Baileys, Rum & Raisin, Peach Schnapps, Butterscotch Schnapps

Caramel: As this has a delicious warm and mellow butterscotch flavour of its own, complementary flavours are best added to the filling. White or Chocolate Ganache with Peanut, Hazelnut, Pistachio, Espresso, Baileys or Banana all work well.

Preserves & Fillings: Strawberry, Raspberry, Pear, Peach, Pineapple & Mango, Black Cherry, Blackcurrant, Kumquat, Orange, Ginger & Orange, Wild Blueberry, Lime & Ginger, Lemon Curd, Passionfruit Curd, Dulce de Leche Caramel, Biscoff Cookie Butter, Nutella, Apple Compote, Pineapple Compote

She uses a range of recipes that can be free from gluten, dairy, egg, nuts and soy and will do her best to accommodate any special requests you may have.

The good vibes started after we first emailed Kerry seeking a quote for our wedding cake.
We wanted something a little less traditional, a little more geek.
Kerry blew us out of the water when she had taken the time getting all the details needed to give us the most accurate quote.  Kerry had been the only cake maker who genuinely wanted to know more details about our cake vision.
Kerry had put our minds at ease with her tasting box after we shared our engagement cake horror story.  The tasting cakes were delightful, the post feast sugar rush was worth it.
To see our wedding cake on the day was amazing.  Kerry did such a beautiful job with not only a tasty, tasty cake but her decorative skills also.  Her fondant was so smooth and soft, those who weren’t fondant fans sang a different tune.
It was quite sombre moment to wrap and preserve the cakes top tier as it’s magnificence will not be tasted for another year.
Thank you Kerry for your hard work.  Your passion and love for cakes truly shows in your work. Felicity

Everybody said it was absolutely delicious too 🙂 I will definitely be recommending you to anyone who needs an event cake.” Vicky

“I wanted to say that the cake was amazing and adults at the party told me it was the best cake they had EVER eaten!! I hadn’t had any at that stage so I had to try a piece to see what they were raving about, and it was amazing!! Thank you so much for the cake pops, they were perfect in the lolly bags and so cute. I will recommend you to everyone I know that needs a cake, I couldn’t have asked for anymore.” Sarah

“The cake looks amazing…….thank you so much for the beautiful Peppa Pig cake, it tasted as great as it looked, the kids loved it.” Mel

I am absolutely happy and impressed with how the cake looked. The colour, the flower ball, the initial, The flower layer, and everything else looked sooo beautiful!! The cake turned out exactly like what we have discussed and I have nothing to fault the cake.
Ooo and not only that, the taste of the cake was delicious, I had praises from people who ate the cake. I don’t usually like mud cake as they usually are very thick and filling, but yours somehow was different, they are very moist, not too sweet and delicious…
Ooo and there’s more… since the first time I emailed you , and all the emails back and forward just to get exactly what I wanted into the cake, you have been very patient , very professional and very friendly in all of your emails and that just shows the kind of person that you are. I would be happy to recommend you to anyone. Fransisca

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can not explain in words how happy I was when I saw the cake – but more importantly how happy Portia was. That cake is better than any other Frozen cake that I have seen on the internet, and let me tell you I have looked at hundreds. When a cake looks that good you don’t expect it to also taste amazing – but it did!!       Every single parent and child at Portia’s party was absolutely blown away by the detail – imagine their surprise when I cut it and there were blue balls inside!!!! I had Mother’s taking close up photos of the inside of the cake and kids asking for second serves (the ultimate compliment).                                                                                                                        As for the cake pops WOW!!!  I was just so overwhelmed by how incredible they looked (I later found out that they tasted even better than they looked). Portia and the other kids absolutely loved the cake pops too.                                                                                            Thank you again Kerry you have done such an amazing job and I assure you that we have appreciated every single minute you spent researching, trialing, contemplating, baking, communicating and everything else that you had to do to achieve such an incredible outcome.
