About Me

Hi, I'm
Liz

I learned to bake beside my mum, standing on a chair just to reach the counter, sneaking tastes of icing and feeling like the kitchen was the most magical place in the world. Baking became my happy place, my way of showing love and, over time, my way of grounding myself through life's ups and downs.

When my daughter Izabella-Rayne came into the world, that love came back in a whole new way. Izzy doesn't have a huge sweet tooth, but she adores cake. Our weekend tea parties became our little tradition, messy, playful and full of crumbs and laughter. Watching her joy in those tiny, honest moments reminded me of everything that matters.

This dream has been growing in my heart for the past four years. Belarains isn't just a cake business. It's a space to connect, to express yourself, and to celebrate the beauty in doing something by hand. Every order, every event, every slice is made with that same spirit.

About Belarains

A quiet tribute to
softness, strength, and slowing down

The name Belarains is close to my heart. It's a quiet tribute to my daughter Izabella-Rayne, and to everything she's taught me about what matters. The messy tea parties, the crumbs, the laughter. The joy of something made slowly, by hand, with love.

We specialise in bespoke celebration cakes for weddings, milestone birthdays, baby showers and christenings, as well as intimate cake decorating events where groups come together to learn, laugh, and create something they're genuinely proud of.

"This workshop isn't just about decorating cakes. It's about creating space to connect, to express yourself, and to celebrate the beauty in doing something by hand."

Cake Decorating Events

An Evening of Cakes,
Cocktails & Creativity

This is not your average night out. Belarains' Cake Decorating Events are intimate, beautifully styled evenings where you and your favourite people come together to learn the art of cake decorating, with a cocktail in hand and canapes on the table.

Liz leads every session personally, guiding you through techniques that look impressive but are completely achievable, even if you've never picked up a piping bag in your life. You'll leave with a cake you decorated yourself, memories you'll actually want to keep, and at least one new appreciation for buttercream.

From £65 per person Private group bookings from £550 · Groups of 6–16

How It Works

Three steps to
your perfect cake

I recommend booking 4–6 weeks ahead for celebration cakes, and 3–6 months for weddings.

01

Start the Conversation

Send an enquiry with your date, occasion, and any ideas you've been collecting. Pinterest boards, colour swatches, vague vibes — all welcome.

→
02

Design It Together

We'll chat through the vision, confirm flavours and design, and I'll send over a quote. Once you're happy, a deposit secures your date.

→
03

Deliver the Moment

Your cake is made fresh and delivered directly to your venue or door in custom packaging, arriving in perfect condition and ready for its moment.

Kind Words

What our clients say

"Liz made our wedding cake and it was the most complimented thing at the entire reception. Three months later people are still talking about it."

Amara & David
Wedding

"Booked the hen do event for my best friend and it was genuinely the best decision. We laughed from start to finish. The cocktails were amazing and everyone left with a cake they were obsessed with."

Kezia
Hen Party Event

"I gave Liz a very vague brief and she came back with something more perfect than I could have imagined. My mum's 60th birthday cake had everyone in tears — in the best way."

Frequently Asked

Good questions
deserve honest answers

For celebration cakes, I recommend 4–6 weeks. Wedding cakes should ideally be booked 3–6 months in advance. For events, 2–3 weeks is usually fine depending on availability, but the more notice the better.

Yes. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options are available on request. Please mention any dietary requirements when you get in touch so I can make sure your cake is everything you need it to be.
If you need to cancel, refunds are calculated based on how much notice is given. Cancellations made more than 28 days before the event are eligible for a full refund.

All refunds are processed within 7 business days and returned via the original payment method. Please ensure you have read and understood the cancellation policy before booking.
Life happens and I completely understand. In the event of unforeseen circumstances such as illness, natural disasters or other situations beyond your control, I will always do my best to work with you to reschedule or issue a credit note valid for one year. Every situation is different and I will handle it with care and understanding.
