TESTIMONIALS

‘I just wanted to write you a quick line and say a huge ‘thank you’ for the fantastic cake that you made and delivered to us on our special day. Everyone passed comment on it, and you were right about the chocolate cutting cake – it was popular – and tasted divine. Thanks again for helping to make our day so special for all of our guests.’  Joanne and Martin Godle

‘Many thanks for creating such a beautiful cake for our daughters wedding and getting it all set up on the day. Everything went so smoothly and the Wedding cake looked stunning!’  Mr and Mrs S Gliddo

‘The cake went down really well and it looked so lovely that we didn’t want to cut it up. Thanks again for doing such a great job.’  Mrs A Grieves

‘We were so pleased with the fabulous cake you made for us and I just wanted to put pen to paper and say a big thank you. It seemed such a shame to cut it, however we’ve managed to keep some of the sugar flowers as a keep-sake from our special day.’  Gillian and Peter Langford

‘Just a quick note to say a BIG thank you for the wonderful cake you made for us. Not only you delivered exactly what you promised but you also provided us with a cake that everybody spoke about. Our caterers (Michael & Sally Collacot, from Combe Martin) said that it was one of the most delicious cakes that they have ever had to serve at a wedding. Our friends and family really enjoyed it. So, once again, thank you. And thank you for your reliability, specially on such a day, when so many details need to be perfect. It didn’t occur to me that so many so called “professionals” can let you down on this important day. You certainly were not one of them, I would certainly recommend you to anybody. Have a happy day and a prosperous business.’  Mrs Jane Peters

 ‘We wanted to say a very big thank you for your beautiful and delicious cake. It really was stunning and wonderful to eat!’  I-Cheng and Stuart Austen

‘Thank you so much for the wonderful cake you created for Robert & I. Your attention to detail was amazing & everybody really enjoyed the carrot and lemon, instead of the same old fruit or sponge we had an absolutely brilliant day.’  Charlie & Robert

‘I just wanted to write and thank you for making our wedding cake on 12th September at Stoodleigh Court. It was so popular I didn’t get to taste or even see the chocolate and lemon tiers once they were cut up and served! All we had left at the end of the night was a quarter of the bottom tier – I’ve never seen a wedding cake be eaten so quickly! Lots of our guests have commented on how lovely the cake was and the small piece I had was delicious.’  Kylie Dunn

‘Our cake looked and tasted fantastic, and no worries on the day about setting it up as it was all taken care of by you. All our friends and family said how professional it looked. Many thanks Roseanne for an excellent job.’  Peter Stocks

‘I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for our wonderful and delicious wedding cake! It really was totally amazing and everyone said how lovely it was… we were even lucky to have some of the pecan cake left over so enjoyed that with some friends the week after! We promise to send some pics as soon as they’re through- it looked exactly as I hoped too. Thanks for making sure it was all taken care of on the day- I’m sorry I didn’t get to see you! So thank you again- my only regret is that I don’t think we will ever taste chocolate cake as good as that ever again!!’  Michelle & Chris 

‘Thank you for the truly amazing wedding cake you made for us. Your service was so efficient and the finished result tasted just lovely. All our guests asked for more and complimented the beautiful cake and stand.’  Jordan & Ali

‘Just a little note to say thank you so much for all your lovely work on producing our wedding anniversary cake and cup cakes (A collection of real treasures for the children- and some of the kid at heart adults). The cake was beautifully presented and your suggestion as to the white icing inscription was well founded as it gave quite a regal touch to it and enriched the colours of the spray of flowers. The cake was delicious and texturally melted in the mouth. Everyone commented on both the presentation and taste. Lovely job. Thank you again for your special contribution to this memorable event. It was quite obvious that a lot of love goes into the things you make.’  Ann and Richard Harding

 ‘Thank you so much for such a beautiful cake. It tasted wonderful and the decoration was perfect. It was superb.’  Barbara Bollam

‘Many Thanks from the both of us for the gorgeous and delicious wedding cake! We still have guests who are complimentary us for the cake they had on the wedding day. Thank you for all your help and guidance through choosing the cake design and then making me the most beautiful cake that captured my dress design. Your work far exceeded our expectations and the cake was a true highlight for us and our guests. The flowers on the cake really worked well so thanks for all your advice and for working with Wendy to arrange that. Thank you for the lovely cake you made for us for the Sunday coffee. It was perfect for the morning and we had guests asking for more so always a good sign. We both had some of the fruit cake last Sunday and fond memories of our perfect wedding day. The fruit cake also made its way to South Africa and was shared with family and friends who could not make it to England for the Wedding. I am so lucky to have found your website and had the pleasure of having you make our wedding cake. I hope that your business grows and that you will also get more orders from Crowcombe Court as they were really impressed with your work.’  Tessa and Simon

‘Just to say a massive thank you for our beautiful cake. It looked amazing and was delicious – the room went almost silent when we served it !! Perfect.’  Rachel Robinson

‘Thank you so much for the beautiful cake you made for our wedding day. It looked stunning and tasted divine. It really was the most beautiful, moist sponge cake I have ever tasted! Thanks for bringing the cake to the venue and setting it up as you did. The cake stand complimented the cake beautifully and is a gorgeous memento of the day. Thanks so much for all you did – Amy & Nathan Clarke

Thank you so much for the superb birthday cake for Harriet. Everyone enjoyed it, as they did the one for my father back in April. It was moist, light, exquisitely decorated, and Harriet immediately posted images of it on facebook! Thank you thank you thank you!’  Ruth Stevens

‘Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you so much for the cake. It was absolutely perfect and I can honestly say that it was the nicest fruit cake that I have ever had. Everybody commented on it. It was exactly what I wanted.’  Wendy Keates 

‘First let me say the cake both looked and tasted wonderful. The Horn of Plenty cut the top into finger size pieces in the evening and although we were full, the pieces were all eaten. Many people commented on the wonderful delicate taste including myself. We took the remainder home and finished it off in one sitting. Thank you very much. We will recommend you to any interested parties.’  Patricia Cairns

‘What a fabulous cake you produced for Louise & Ben’s wedding. It looked amazing and tasted scrummy. Many admired it- Thank You.’  Iris & Eric Burke

‘My husband and I are rapidly approaching our first anniversary and I would like to say that we still dream about the delicious, beautiful cake that you made for us on our special day. Each flavoured tier was as delightful as the next. Several of our guests still declare your cake the best that they have ever eaten and will say so completely out of the blue. Thank you so much for everything.’  Kerry Butcher

‘We wanted to send you a little note to say a massive thank you of the beautiful, elegant and fantastical cake that you delivered to our wedding at Hartland Abbey last week. Not only did it look spectacular but tasted out of this world and we got comments from so many people. Luckily, we have a huge piece left over which we can freeze and enjoy at a later date! We would be delighted to recommend you to our friends and others – please let us know if you would like some photos of the cake on the day to use for promotion! Very best wishes.’  Isabel & James

‘Thank you so much for the the lovely wedding cake you delivered for us to Maunsel House. It was absolutely beautiful and tasted even better! Thank you so much. Everyone loved it!’  Cathy Lauterpacht

‘I am so sorry I didn’t see you on Saturday as it would have been lovely to have been able to thank you personally for the cake.  It was absolutely beautiful and I lost track of the number of superlatives-ridden comments from guests.  It was also delicious … not a crumb was left by the end of the evening! We will enthusiastically recommend you at every available opportunity. So many, many thanks – particularly on behalf of Kate who was completely delighted with the result.’  Amanda Trick

‘Anyway, Geoff and I wanted to thank you very much for the cake. It was absolutely delicious – we didn’t know chocolate cake could taste so good! And, it looked lovely. Everybody was commenting on how nice it was and my nephew now wants a similar one, so I’ll pass on your details – although he may be too far away in Leicestershire, but you can decide. We really appreciated all of your hard work and care in delivery and presentation. Hopefully, we should get some pics soon – and I’ll find a good one of the cake to send you!’  Geoff and Hazel Farmer

‘I just wanted to say a huge thank you for creating the most amazing, beautiful wedding cake for our special day. It was absolutely perfect and tasted absolutely gorgeous and we had several comments from our guests!’  Laura and Mark

‘The cake was absolutely fantastic. So many guests commented on it. As I said on the voting forms, not only was the cake beautiful (exactly how I imagined!) and tasted fantastic (and just as the sample tasted), your service was impeccable throughout the whole lead up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself.  So thank you so so much. And I am only really sorry that I didn’t say thank you sooner and that I never actually got to meet you in person!’  Reema

‘Thank you for the wonderful cake you did for Hannah and Steven’s wedding at Combe House on Saturday.  It looked amazing, and all the guests were raving about the taste!  It was exactly what Hannah & Steven had wanted, and Steven’s only disappointment was that he didn’t manage to get a piece of the coconut layer before it all disappeared!  I have the separate layer safely stored at home ready for them to collect when they return from honeymoon.  They had a magical wedding day, despite the freezing weather, so thank you again for your part in giving them their dream wedding.’  Sarah Ross (Hanah’s mum)

‘At very short notice and with an unusual specification, you produced and delivered by hand an superb cake which was truly scrumptious. All who sampled it agreed it was the best cake they had ever eaten. Excellent cake and excellent service and I have no hesitation in recommending you to others. Thank you so much.’  Alex

‘We just wanted to get in touch and say a huge THANK YOU for the most amazing cake for our wedding on 20 April. You were absolutely fantastic and I really can’t thank you enough for the incredible job you did, it tasted absolutely delicious.  I would certainly recommend you to anyone getting married (or let’s face it, anyone who needs cake for any reason!) in Devon and I hope the below review will help if you want to use anywhere. We don’t have our professional photos back yet but some of my friends took some incredible shots which I have attached – feel free to use them on your website or any promotional material if you want? I shall let you know when we have the ‘professional’ ones! Rosanne of Rosanne Hollowell Cakes created the most incredible cake for our wedding in April 2013.  I loved the photos of cakes Rosanne had previously made, and after falling in love with the idea of a ‘naked’ cake, our focus was absolutely on taste and amazing flavours for our cake. I have been to too many wedding where the cake is hidden away, or barely noticed by the guests so we wanted out cake to take centre stage and be a delicious dessert for our seaside wedding. Rosanne warmly welcomed us into her farmhouse kitchen to taste some fantastic samples and we settled on a bottom layer of Lemon Drizzle with lemon buttercream and lemon curd filling, topped by a butterscotch and date layer with butterscotch frosting finally topped with Apple and Cinnamon with a cream cheese frosting. Yum! I’m hungry again just thinking about it. Rosanne coped admirably with the fact that we were trying to organise a Devon wedding from 6000 miles away in Singapore, and kindly delivered the cake herself on the day. Rosanne also worked directly with our flower lady Claire to source coral ranunculus to decorate our ‘naked’ cake. I have had so many compliments on our cakes, both on the day and for weeks after as friends and relative viewed our photos, and this is all down to Rosanne’s amazing skill. But the most important test was the taste – and it was incredible! Everyone loved it, to the point we had guests ferreting away second and third helpings the following days, and squirrel stores of cake hidden in luggage! Rosanne was an absolute pleasure to work with and I feel so lucky that we had her fantastic cake on the day.’  Rachel and James

‘Just thought I’d send a quick email to say thank you so much for our wedding cake, it was AMAZING…so many people were shocked because they were expecting a typical dry wedding cake, however yours blew the away! The decoration on the cake and the flavors were superb!’  Laura and James
