About me

I’m Paula, designer and maker at Sweet Somethings Cakes, and I’d love to help bring your cake vision to life!

I specialise in creating elegant, bespoke, and of course, delicious cakes. With a background in Fine Art, I give every cake that all important attention to detail to make your cake-cutting moment truly special.

What began as a hobby 22 years ago when I ‘borrowed’ my dad’s cake decorating equipment to make my daughter’s second birthday cake (a fairy toadstool) has completely taken over my life… and my kitchen! You could say baking and cake decorating are in my blood. My dad was a trained chef, pastry chef, and baker during his long naval career, and I remember watching him practice for his pastry exams with incredible skill and patience, creating delicate mille-feuilles and elaborate, fruit-laden gateaux. I’ve been lucky to have his expert tuition on hand ever since.

Dad never did get his equipment back!

I’m fully registered, with a 5-star food hygiene rating, and hold both Level 2 Food Hygiene and Allergy Awareness certifications.
