“We chose Ali to make our Wedding cake after seeing her wonderful creations at the wedding fayre of our venue, and she has been a delight throughout the entire process! She made great suggestions and her sugarwork was perfect :D The flavours were perfectly balanced in each tier and the cake was beautifully moist, which everyone enjoyed!

When I first saw it on our big day I jumped for joy, it was more beautiful than I pictured it in my head and I'll never forget how lovely it tasted. Any leftover pieces didn't last long, and I still can't stop thinking about the delicious mint choc chip tier which was so scrumptious :) Thank you Ali for our perfect wedding cake!”

I first went to Alison (The Cake Doctor) when I retired and decided I would like to take up a new hobby. I went to a class and found within five minutes that I really liked what she did and how much fun the class was. As I was to be married a couple of months later I asked her if she would be able to teach me how to ice and decorated a two tier fruit wedding cake. I had only once baked a cake before in 1972 so was totally clueless in the art of baking let alone icing and decorating a cake. I baked my cakes at home (successfully) and took them to Alison for a one to one lesson to learn how to ice them. Alison showed me from the very beginning how to level and prepare my cakes, then how to roll the marzipan and icing. She showed how to prepare the cake boards and how to set one on top of the other using dowels. During my evening lessons she showed me how to make the flowers and guided me through how I might arrange them. When I had made enough flowers I set about decorating my cake at home. I love my cake decorating classes as do the other ladies I have met at them, Alison has time to help and encourage everyone at her classes to achieve great things. Ali you are an inspiration and a star.

I first met Alison Bushell in 2014 when she was looking for premises to expand her business. Scary times for Ali but the best move she ever made for herself and, selfishly, for me as well. I joined her Tuesday night class for sugar craft, a complete novice thinking I was going to make a fool of myself, WOW what a class I was hooked and still attend now 6 years later.

Ali is unbelievable, she never ceases to amaze me with her talent. She is patient and very skilful in how she teaches people of all abilities to make wonderful things out of sugar paste. I have learnt so much from Ali, how to make incredible flowers, figures, how to decorate cakes in many different ways for all kind of occasions.

Our class on a Tuesday evening is a tonic, Ali is not only a teacher but a true friend. Everybody is made to feel welcome. The kettle is always on, tea or coffee with a piece of Ali’s delicious cakes.

Ali is an inspiration to us all, how she continues to turnout such unbelievable and magnificent cakes is amazing. It doesn’t matter what somebody’s budget is their cake will always be unique, a one off design by Ali for each and every customer.

“I have only known Alison for a short time but straight away I knew she has a very special talent for cake decorating. Her innovative designs are really on trend and her passion for detail really shines through. Alison is an extremely talented lady.”

           Marion Frost (Patchwork Cutters)

 

“My husband and I chose Alison to create our wedding cake as we loved the look of the ones we had seen on her Facebook page and at a wedding fair that we attended. She was so helpful with all the details as we didn't have a clue how big it should be!! We had loads of flavours to choose from which was great as didn't want a plain fruit cake!! Also her prices were realistic as she didn’t bump the price up just because it was for a wedding. Seeing Alison's creation was fantastic, it looked beautiful and exactly what we had asked for. Come the evening we got to taste it and the layers were so soft and tasty. There was so much time and effort put into creating it. We can’t thank her enough for how lovely it was.”

         Joanne and Mark Catherall.

 

 

“Congratulations Ali on your nomination for the Welsh Wedding Awards. I’m sorry I hadn’t taken the time to share with others that your cakes are brilliant. Over the last few years your cakes have been the centre pieces of both my daughters’ weddings, my silver wedding and then this year three special ‘0’ birthdays. The quality and flavour of your cakes are delicious and taken to another level by your amazing decorations. The attention to detail in the sugarcraft figures is incredible. You take our basic ideas and photos then transform them into magical, edible delights. You are never beaten by requests be it for a Hobbits’ house or a TARDIS. I can’t wait for our next special occasion so we can enjoy your skills again. Good luck in the awards. Love Dot xx”

“I picked Alison Bushell The Cake Doctor to make my 50th Birthday cake after contacting her the year before and asking her to make my 49th Birthday cake, a week before my birthday, and sadly she was fully booked with other cakes. I knew that she must be a fantastic cake maker if she was so in demand, and decided to book my 50th cake seven months in advance to make sure that I would have exactly what I wanted from a fabulous cake maker.

After my initial consultation, I had great confidence and faith in her for carrying out what I wanted on my masterpiece of a 50th Birthday cake, and boy oh boy I wasn't disappointed!

What an amazing cake she made for me which was for my fancy dress themed ball, of 'Opulence, Sparkle and Diamonds', and I was dressing as Cinderella going to the ball, and the cake included everything I asked for and more! She really made it sparkle in more ways than one by adding battery operated lights around all three tiers then putting sugarcrafted white roses over the lights so that the whole cake lit up!!! Oh My God!!! It was absolutely breathtaking, and covered in diamonds and butterflies and fabulous ostrich feathers sticking out the top fairytale castle tier.... simply AWESOME!!

I loved the fact that she sent me photos of the cake as she went along to get my feedback on it and added and changed things that I wanted.......absolutely fabulous!!!

It brought a tear to my eye when I saw it on its stand in all its glory, as it was EVERYTHING I wanted and MUCH MORE!!

Alison even delivered it and set it up on the three tier stand to the venue that I was holding my party, so she went above and beyond for me, and it was one thing less to worry about on the day.

She is the most discerning lady who obviously creates cakes lovingly and passionately and puts her heart and soul into her craft, and I now class her as a new found friend of mine!

I was SO impressed with everything she did, and I have told everyone I know about her amazing talent, so no doubt she will be even more in demand now!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Alison for making me SO very happy on my very special day! You are an angel!”

“In the spring of 2018 we were looking for someone to make our daughters’ wedding cake, she did not want a traditional wedding cake and we were recommended The Cake Doctor through our son, he knew her as she had supplied cakes to the firm he worked at, as a thanks for work done on her computer. From the moment we walked into her beautiful smelling baking room she was a pleasure to deal with, she listened to our daughter, gave he lots of ideas and options for her wedding cake, and eventually came up with a three tiered cake which had different flavour in each layer. The cake was beautiful and it tasted as good as it looked. Since the wedding my daughter is now pregnant and there was only one place we could go for the cake she wanted for her baby shower, The Cake Doctor!! This time we just told her what she wanted a penguin themed cake and left it up to her she produced the perfect cake again.”

This time last year my husband was celebrating a milestone birthday, his 50th . After searching through Facebook and finding "The Cake Doctor" I decided to contact Alison. I arranged a meeting with Alison , nothing was too much trouble , We spent time discussing what ideas I had for the cake and what design I'd like, and as my husband is a proud welsh man it had to be something along that theme . The cake she produced was fantastic, it was a take on the Welsh flag, green and white with a Welsh dragon sat on the top, the detail was just fantastic and it tasted delicious. My husband loved it. As a result of how happy we were with this we asked Alison to make our daughters 21st birthday cake, Parisian themed, again the attention to detail was amazing and again it was delicious. Last month, November, my sister got married, our present to them was their cake, and of course I asked Alison to make it. Again it was amazing, a real show stopper, from the design, a three tired sponge cake, each layer a different flavour, to the decoration, a stunning cascade of orange Carnations and Roses. I cannot thank Alison enough for the amazing cakes for such special occasions, and I can't wait for the next occasion for Alison to make another masterpiece for us.

Got a cake from the cake doctor and it's absolutely amazing, I had a birthday party themed as Harry Potter and this is going to stand out, the sorting hat has been airbrushed with patches and looks like the actual thing! And a poly juice potion at the side that glows in the dark with a light on it, love the phrase at the bottom and the base, great size and great price ����� And my mum thinks it's amazing too

Amazing cake for my husbands 30th birthday, I even asked to change the date last minute and Alison did this no problem. He loved it and it was perfect. Tasted amazing too!! So thank you �

I don't know where to start with this cake! One, it has two sock monkey's that I love and can't live without, especially, Stripey. Two, it looks amazing, as it has the two monkeys on it for a start and the writing is done in my favourite colour. Three, it tastes amazing and I mean AMAZING, the most amazing cake I have had EVER. The sock monkeys on the cake look more amazing than the real sock monkeys. I want to eat the real sock monkeys over the edible ones there that amazing. I have over used the word amazing in this status, but can't help it because of how amazing the cake is. Would like to say a mazzive thank you to The Cake Doctor. Thank you. Really can't thank you enough!

I only started sugarcraft classes just before Christmas and I was amazed what I achieved in the first lesson. It is really addictive and I look forward to every lesson. Alison is very welcoming and extremely helpful and the other members of the Thursday group are very friendly and very willing to offer advice and share their equipment and experience. It is more like a social evening and yet you learn so much.

Just to thank you again for making us such a wonderful wedding cake.

We were absolutely delighted with it!

It went down very well at our Jamaican evening wedding reception, everyone commented on how beautiful it looked and how clever you are. I would also like to add that it smelt and tasted just as good as it looked! The coconut sponge with lime curd and Malibu was extremely moist and tasty, and the Jamaican Rum Fruitcake was just AMAZING!
