SUSTAINABILITY

We believe that nature offers the most vibrant flavours + colours. 
We use natural flower decor taken straight from the garden with no nasty sprays! We say NO THANK YOU to nasty additives and preservative’s providing you with a cake that not only tastes good but leaves you feeling good as well. 

OUR PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES

At Willow Cakes we have a few different preservation techniques in order to get the best out of our produce and seasons! We preserve the fruit from our trees into jams and compotes ensuring we capture those wholesome, home grown flavours to incorporate into our cakes all year round. We dry some of our own fruits and flowers on site in order to get a range of fruits and flowers to decorate our cakes with. We also press many of our own flowers in order to keep those vibrant blooms going throughout the darker winter months! 

PROUD MUM MOMENTS

We partner with the best possible people to source ingredients and packaging that makes us sustainable, nourishing and flavoursome. Where possible we strive to source local, organic and free range ingredients to improve the quality and flavours of our cakes and strive to keep everything fully home compostable!
