Frequently Asked Questions

​Where can I find you?

I’m based in the beautiful village of Hawkshead, near Ambleside in the heart of the Lake District.

Do you deliver?

For celebration cakes and cupcakes, collection from Hawkshead is preferred. However, I can deliver locally (Ambleside, Coniston and Hawkshead) for no extra charge. Delivery to anywhere further afield will incur a delivery charge.

Are any of your bakes gluten-free or vegan-friendly?

Yes! Many of my bakes are gluten-free or vegan, or can be made this way. I can also do gluten-free or vegan celebration cakes and cupcakes in various flavours – just get in touch to let me know what you’d like. Everyone needs cake!

Do you do weddings?

Yes, I am experienced at a variety of stacked or single tier wedding cakes and cupcakes and have set up cakes in beautiful venues in and around the Lakes. Check out my gallery pages for examples and get in touch if you’d like to discuss cake and dessert options for your special day!

Testimonials

Holly baked us three birthday cakes for significant birthdays, they were real works of art and truly scrumptious too. I can highly recommend her. [Sandra]

Holly made us such a delicious chocolate cake for a special occasion - somehow light but rich at the same time, and beautiful to boot. She was super responsive and helpful - very highly recommend Bakes by Holly! [Katie]

Holly’s cupcakes are frankly amazing. My wife is dairy and gluten-free and her lemon cupcakes were epic – easily top of the cupcakes! [Aidan]
