One of my earliest, and fondest, memories is standing on a stool in my Grandmother’s kitchen baking cupcakes with her.
Many years later when I had my own children, I made a promise to myself that I would make their birthday cakes every year.
This is when my journey into cake decorating started.
I realised that the many hours I spent pouring love into their cakes, that I truly loved what I was doing.
I attended courses to develop my skills and strived to make every cake better than the last.
This passion has now grown into a business. I feel so privileged to meet couples who are at the beginning of their own journey together and create wedding cakes and cakes for extra special celebrations.
My husband David, was born in Venezuela and raised in the beautiful Portuguese island of Madeira. I take huge delight in our family gatherings where food is everything! Recipes are handed down through generations and I always come away inspired.
I work with care and dedication, getting to know my clients to ensure the cake I design is truly bespoke to them.
I pride myself on my cake flavours, finishing, attention to detail.
The business has grown over the past few years and I often pinch myself that we now have a Shop and very own Bakery too.

About Liz
"I got married back in 2007. It was the happiest day of my life - I certainly remember the jaw-ache from all the smiling. I was a bridesmaid aged 10 and a chorister at lots of church weddings throughout childhood. After planning my own big day with military precision and attending friends’ beautiful ceremonies, there’s not a lot I don’t love about weddings. I lived in London when I was married, with an early career in live TV production and then Account Management. Being on top of things was a total must and I am still super organised in every area of my life - especially with two sons! Combine this with an absolute, greedy passion for cake, and I’m hoping I can really help and support all the lovely Brides and Grooms who choose Kelly’s Kitchen as their wedding cake maker"
