  • The Mess made a stunning cake with bespoke floral decorations for our engagement party.

  • The Mess was beyond our wildest dreams for a wedding cake.

    As a gluten free and dairy free girlie with a vegan husband, The Mess was beyond our wildest dreams for a wedding cake. Rhi was so communicative and passionate about designing a cake that I loved and saw my vision and the final cake tasted incredible. You don’t often get a gluten free vegan cake to that quality, it was unreal. Overall great experience!!

    It was a divine blessing to have my birthday cake made by Rhi! where she nailed the brief and it looked even better than I imagined. And yes, we made a mess of it by the end.

  • It’s hard to make a cake taste as good as it looks, let alone a gluten free cake, for everyone except Rhi.

    The best in the business. Beautiful cakes and beautiful person. I LOVED my Bespoke mini cake which Rhi perfectly themed to my new job.

  • Cakes by the Mess is a 10/10!

    The raspberry and white chocolate cake made for our photoshoot was not only visually beautiful, but tasted absolutely divine. Everyone was obsessed!

    Rhi was amazing to work with - she was on top of everything, from sharing inspo to being flexible with pick-up times. I’ll definitely be coming back to Rhi for my next cake. Thank you so much! x

    Lauren

  • Such an amazing experience!

    Right from the beginning communication was incredible, we even had personal delivery to the venue. The cake was the most delicious gluten free cake I have ever had and we also had some vegan cupcakes which were a massive hit! Highly recommend!!

    One of the best bakers I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Easy to contact, an absolute gem to design treats with, and great value for the final goods I received.
