Hey I’m Rachel…

…the founder and Creative Director of Marie Antoinette Cake Design and The Sugarcraft School. I’m incredibly passionate about creating unique pieces of edible art and feel privileged to be able to collaborate with such amazing couples and to be a small part of their special day.

I grew up in North Yorkshire and after spending time in Newcastle where I studied Business, I finally settled over in Cheshire where I now live with my husband and two cats! After a career in Food Production Management, and fuelled by a strong need for creativity, Marie Antoinette Cake Design was launched in 2011!

My passion lies in designing and my chosen medium is cake and sugar - delicious edible pieces of art that surpass people’s expectations and take their breath away. Our clients trust us to take them on a creative journey that is centred around being able to translate what’s in their head, and transform that into a stunning wedding cake, exploring the possibilities of edible design. As every cake that leaves the studio is bespoke, our clients fully trust in my creative vision for their wedding, along with the huge amount of experience, expertise and knowledge that I bring. We guide our clients through every step of the process, holding their hands and giving them the confidence required to unleash the design potential in every wedding cake, opening their eyes to new possibilities.

To maintain these consistently high standards, I aim to take on just one wedding cake commission per week which enables me to fully focus on the design process required to create something truly special. If you value the importance of a unique, hand-crafted edible masterpiece that will have you and your guests reminiscing for years, I would love to work with you.

Take a moment to browse through our design portfolio where you can familiarise yourself with the signature style that we have become renowned for and join me over on Instagram where we keep you up to date with our latest unique designs while you plan your special day.

The Sugarcraft School

We launched The Sugarcraft School in 2019. It’s a brilliant place for fellow cakes to come and develop their skills whether it’s via a Group Class, Online Tutorial or a personally tailored Private Masterclass. Sharing my many years of knowledge and expertise and teaching people the secrets behind our signature techniques is a lot of fun but the real joy is seeing students gain confidence in their abilities before going on to develop their own creative style and be able to build a business around their passion.

We have such exciting plans for The Sugarcraft School so make sure you join our community by signing up to our Free Facebook Group today - we don’t want you to miss a thing!
