I’m Jen, the heart and hands behind Edible Essence, a cake studio rooted in the belief that beauty can be found in simplicity, that flavour tells a story, and that cakes can be both soulful and unforgettable.
Covering South West England and London
Pre pandemic, I was fully immersed in the wedding scene, crafting award-winning creations that traveled nationwide. A brief step back reminded me of my passion for baking. I realised I wanted to create from the heart, not chase trends or volume.
Now, Edible Essence operates at a gentler pace, focusing on timeless elegance, natural beauty, and nostalgic flavours. My designs incorporate soft textures, real florals, and seasonal elements, always prioritising flavour and simplicity.
My cake passion comes from my mum and nan, both devoted bakers. My mum baked until she fell poorly, selling cakes at the Country Market and filling her home with sweetness. She recently passed away, but her spirit lives on in my kitchen. Inspired by her nostalgic classic coffee cake, I crafted my own version as a tribute, which now holds a special place on my menu.
My nan’s legacy continues in my Hazelnut Praline cake, a flourless German recipe she taught me.
Lets celebrate life’s moments with every bite!

SIMPLY WOW. From the moment Jen hand delivered our wedding cake samples, we knew we wanted to book Edible Essences straight away. The personal touches and the thought that went into the high-quality sample boxes really stood out from other cake suppliers. Also, the cakes were delicious, so much so…..we had to order a second batch of samples to savour!! For anyone reading this, we recommend the fragrant lemon and raspberry & prosecco flavours.
From the first communication to the delivery of the cake, Jen was so friendly and quick to reply to emails which really eased our stresses in the lead up to our wedding. We would recommend Edible Essences to everyone.
Thank you so much!

Edible Essence provided the cake for our recent wedding and it was absolutely gorgeous. Everyone was commenting on how beautiful the cake looked and tasted! Jen was lovely to chat with when we were discussing flavours and design and was always super helpful. It was a hard job to choose our cake flavours when we received 6 samples and loved every one of them! We were absolutely over the moon when we saw the final result, it was so beautiful, and exactly as we had envisioned.
Thank you so much for making our dream wedding cake a reality!

Thank you Jen for the most beautiful wedding cake and macaroons that were definitely a conversation piece. Not only beautifully designed but also tasted amazing. Huge thanks Jen.
