Hi everyone, I’m Nadene and the owner of @finchandgartercakes.
Before Covid struck I was working at Les Mis at the Sondheim Theatre and prior to this I was dressing in the West End for 10 years whilst juggling cake making at the same time. I really miss my old wardrobe bunch (aka my taste testers) and not being able to feed them my experimental bakes!
I know Covid hasn’t been fun, but one positive I can take from it is that it finally gave me the push I needed to set up Finch & Garter and go full time with my very own bakery. Even though setting up a business reliant on parties and celebrations in a pandemic was not the best idea at the time, I am now in a good place to restart supplying cakes for all the rescheduled weddings, birthdays and get togethers that are now on the horizon, which is a massive yay for everyone!
I specialise in wedding and celebration cakes and have designed and produced a variety of traditional, contemporary and novelty cakes. I love a cakey challenge with some of my favorite designs being a giant Rubik’s cube and a fully edible T-Rex!
Over the past year I have broadened my product range to include handmade Belgian chocolates and decorated biscuits all via post which has allowed my customers to celebrate birthdays and occasions on a smaller scale.
I work hard to buy the best quality ingredients I can find, and I really believe that a cake should taste as good as it looks. All my bakes are created in my kitchen which is based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire just north of London but I offer delivery nationwide.
I am currently taking orders through Insta and Facebook with a website on its way very soon, but in the meantime you can keep yourself updated and see what I’ve got to offer by giving me a like and a follow, or even just good old email!
