LET THEM EAT CAKE Looking for an Essex cake maker who bakes tasty creations no guest can refuse? Step forward Sarah Gearing of Heart and Soul Cakes; recently expanding her business to offer clients more choice, thanks to a self-designed barn kitchen and consultation room in White Roding. “The move was an easy decision to make once I found the perfect setting, giving me the space and capacity to make more intricate works,” says Sarah. “I’m now not only able to offer cakes, but can also create a wider range of sweet treats ideal for an evening reception. My consultations are held in a separate stylish room, with lots of cakes on display – and there are of course samples on offer, from personalised biscuits and cake-filled chocolate geode hearts, to cake pops and more. It’s a perfect setting to relax with a cup of tea or something bubbly, and chat all things cake.” www.heartandsoulcakes.co.uk LET THE PLANNING COMMENCE County Wedding Events is delighted to announce it’s hosting its first wedding show of 2023 at Braxted Park, Witham, on Sunday 15th January between 11am and 3pm — perfect for those who got engaged over the festive period!
