Hi, I'm Karen, the designer and cake artist behind Vintage Cake Fairy. I create wedding cakes for couples who want something a little different — cakes that tell a story, spark conversation, and break free from the traditional. With over 13 years of experience, I specialise in bespoke wedding cakes, celebration cakes and handcrafted cake toppers that are designed entirely around you. Whether your inspiration comes from books, gaming, fantasy, travel, tattoos, pop culture, family traditions, or simply a love of beautiful design, I transform personal ideas into edible centrepieces that feel uniquely yours. My style is creative, detail-driven and deeply personal. I'm known for designing cakes packed with character, meaningful touches and unexpected details that guests discover long after the first slice has been cut. From bold contemporary designs to whimsical, romantic creations, every cake is made from scratch and crafted to reflect your personalities, not a wedding trend. Exceptional flavour is just as important as exceptional design. I specialise in gluten-free and dairy-free baking, creating cakes that are every bit as indulgent, delicious and memorable as their traditional counterparts, so nobody misses out on the experience. From our first conversation to delivery on your wedding day, I offer a highly personal service, guiding you through the creative process and bringing your vision to life with care, expertise and a touch of magic. If you're looking for a wedding cake that's unapologetically you, beautifully crafted and completely unlike anyone else's, you're in exactly the right place.

Best live concert you've ever attended? 


I have been to far too many to really have a favourite, so I will choose two- Kasabian and Muse! Absolutely epic shows!!


What is your favourite random fun fact?


Whilst working backstage in the West End, I leaving one night and feeling super lazt so I took the lift for one flight of stairs. When the doors opened, who was in there? The one and only Mr Brain May! Rock god and total legend! (He was super nice by the way)


What do you do within your business to make it more accessible and inclusive?

All the language I use across all my platforms is gender neutral (and those where it is not I am working towards changing), I have no opinion when it comes to the type of couples I work with. If they want me to make them an amazing cake or personalised cake topper then I will happily do so. For those who struggle to come to my studio for consultations, I can offer online consultations instead.
