I started baking when my first child was born 10 years ago as I knew I wanted to be the one to make his birthday cake every year! Shortly after my twin girls arrived and my passion for not only baking, but bringing people together for special celebrations blossomed. I have made my children’s birthday cakes every year since, as well as treating my family and close friends with a cake for their special occasions too.
More recently I have been asked by others if I would bake for them and that’s when I decided to turn my passion into a business. So, welcome to Love Leigh, I’d love to help you celebrate your special occasions too, as I can’t think of a better way to start than with a homemade cake!
Love, Leigh

Leigh's cake for my daughter's 9th birthday was absolutely delicious. We all agreed it was the best red velvet cake we have ever had. The design was beautiful and original. After the first success, we asked her to make our son's Peter Rabbit birthday cake that had the most beautiful and unconventional design and tasted better than any cake you can buy at a patisserie.
Leigh's cakes are showstoppers and they are as delicious as they are beautiful. Leigh is very creative and has produced wonderful themed designs. Her sponge is light and fluffy and the icing just scrumptious. I cannot recommend Leigh's cakes highly enough.
Leigh's cakes are just everyone's dream. To quote my daughter 'mummy, I dont need a present but can I have one of Leigh's cakes for my party'. In the past I have had my fair share of cake experiences but nothing compares to Leigh. The design is divine, beautiful and detail oriented. The big difference is that most cakes dont taste as they look, but her cakes are delicious inside and out. For us, there is only one place to go if we need a cake for anny occasion, Leigh!
Leigh is my go-to cake maker, after making a cake to celebrate a family reunion, I knew every cake from then on needed to be made by her. The decoration always fits the brief perfectly. Big thank you, I will be back.
Leigh has made cakes for both a corporate event I was hosting, as well as several of my children’s birthday parties. The cakes don’t only look incredible but they are also delicious. She goes out of her way to personalise every cake she creates. Her style is distinct and she consistently creates works of art. Leigh is not only hugely talented but also a pleasure to deal with. I cannot recommend her enough!
FAQs
What if I have an allergy or dietary requirement?
Please include as much information about your requirements in the enquiry form and we can have a chat about what you need.
What happens if I need to amend/change my order?
Please do get in touch as soon as possible if you would like to make any changes to your order. I will try my best to accommodate but depending on timings it may not be possible.
How should I store my cake?
All my cakes are made using buttercream or ganache, so your cake should be stored in a fridge until approx 2 hours before you plan to eat it, to allow it to come to room temperature. If it is an extremely hot day, please leave your cake in the fridge as long as possible. You do not want it to melt/collapse before you get to cut it!
Do you offer cupcakes?
Yes! Cupcakes are available in all the same flavours as my celebration cakes and come in boxes of 12. I also offer mini cupcakes which come in boxes of 24.
How many people will my cake feed?
My usual style is a 6 inch, 4 layer buttercream cake which feeds approx 25-30. But, it also depends on how big you like your slice of cake!
What flavours can I have?
My most popular flavours are Vanilla, Chocolate, Red Velvet, Carrot, or Lemon but if you are after something specific please do get in touch to discuss requirements.
How will I receive my cake?
Collection only from Barnes, SW13. We will agree on a suitable time prior to collection.
How much notice do I need to give to place an order?
The longer the better! But as a minimum two weeks prior to the date you require the cake.
