Perfecting The Craft
Cooking has been Stuart’s career since leaving school at 18 and for ten years he ran the kitchen of a local nursing home, whilst training as a chef. However, Stuart has a real creative streak and had originally hoped to study design at university.  When Tameside College offered a free cake decorating course, he and his partner decided to go along and after four weeks he was hooked. Very soon friends and family started to ask Stuart for cakes and he decided to study his craft further and attended a two year patisserie course.

Striking Out
At the end of the course Stuart had so many orders coming in that he had to decide whether or not to make cakes his full time career. With the complete support of his partner, Alistair, his best friend Gareth and his family, he took the plunge in November 2011 and hasn’t looked back. Stuart soon built up a list of regular customers including Sizzlers in Stalybridge and Bradley’s Bakery in Ashton Under Lyne. He also spends his weekends at wedding fairs, craft and farmer’s markets. He has been a regular at The Vintage Village in Stockport’s historic Victorian market hall for the last three years.


Innovation and Creation
With his business going from strength to strength what makes Stuart stand out from the baking crowd? One word. Innovation. When he started out the cupcake boom was in full swing and whilst they were a large part of his offering, the flavours he produced were certainly not the norm. For every month and every celebration of the year Stuart produces a set of four appropriate flavours. For instance, this Easter one of the flavours he made was a Hotcross Bun cupcake, with spiced fruits, a marzipan cross, apricot glaze and an almond frosting.  St Patrick’s Day saw a Guinness cupcake. At Christmas there was a complete Christmas dinner. Commencing with a Tomato & Basil Soup cupcake with tomato frosting and finished with croutons. Then an All The Trimmings cupcake flavoured with sage and onion, cranberry, maple frosting and crunchy bacon bits. For dessert there was a Christmas Pudding cupcake with brandy frosting and to wash it down an orange spiced Mulled Wine cupcake.


Cakes With A Twist
But it’s not all about the cupcakes. For the last few years Stuart has been developing a line of products that would make even the Mad Hatter look twice. He makes savouries that look like cakes and cakes that look like savouries. For instance, pork pies, scotch eggs, sausage rolls and sandwiches that are so cleverly made, they look like the real thing but when one tastes them the sweet sensation is totally unexpected. Perfect for a mind bending tea party that will have your guests talking for weeks.


Upcoming Trends
I asked Stuart if the cupcake trend was coming to an end and if so what was replacing it. He said that cupcakes were still popular but when it comes to wedding cakes people are now going back to the time-honoured 3 tier option with intricate icing. He also said that more traditional bakes were making a comeback and his mini loaf cakes are always a sell out at the fairs he attends.

International Flavours
Never one to rest on his laurels, Stuart is teaming up with Bradley’s, the award winning pie makers, to produce a line of World Cup inspired pies and cakes that will be on sale throughout the tournament. This is how it will work. If Greece are playing Mexico, for instance, then you will be able to pick up a Roasted Veg & Feta Pie along with a Chilli Chocolate Mini Loaf and so on.

This year Stuart received professional recognition for his talents collecting Silver and Bronze at the Cake International Awards 2014, for his wedding cake and cupcakes. From your perfect wedding cake to a tea party with a twist Stuart is a baker who can make your dreams come true.
