The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating!
I am a firm believer that cake should taste as good as it looks! That is why I offer an extensive menu with flavours to cater to a range of tastes. All of my flavours have been tried and tested over the years and have become firm favourites with my wedding clients.
Tastings of are available at various intervals throughout the year. Get in touch to find out when the next available tastings will be. You can try up to 4 flavours from the menu in a standard box. Additional flavours are available for an extra charge. Tasting boxes can either be collected from the studio in South East London (SE12) or couriered during cooler weather.

Happy Clients
“We loved having our wedding cakes made by Clare! She did two cakes for our wedding and both of them were perfect! We had a lavender & wild blueberry cake for our main wedding cake and a red velvet for our grooms cake…Cannot recommend Little Bear Cakery enough! Thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special!!!“
– Grace & Jack
“The moment we found Clare’s work we knew she was the one!…her absolute professionalism, timeliness, attention to detail and passion for her craft. Her sugar flower creations are pure beauty. They take your breath away. Our wedding cake was three (huge!) tiers of her Luscious Lemon cake, “zesty lemon sponge soaked with limoncello (one tier alcohol free), lemon curd and light vanilla buttercream”. Topped with the most beautiful handcrafted sugar peonies, blackberries, Italian ruscus foliage and hydrangea flowers. Our guests were even betting on whether the flowers were real or not.
The cake was an absolute delight, with the tastiest, softest, delicately flavoured sponge ever, a masterpiece.”
– Julieta & Ben

– Emma & Chris
“Clare at Little Bear Cakery provided our wedding cake for us and we couldn’t have been happier! Not only did the cake look absolutely gorgeous, more importantly it tasted incredible. Working with Clare was great and very straightforward – she also liaised with our venue and florist meaning that we didn’t need to worry about any of the logistics. I would highly recommend LBC!”
