Whether you’re into a medieval fantasy or naked sponge with whipped buttercream, we know just the baker! Check out these beautiful creations.

There are bakers and there are artists. Ella from Cakes by Bells is a well swirled mixture of both.

These cakes are almost too good to cut into – I reckon there’s even been the occasional tear shed when a unicorn has lost its horn.

Ella came to baking almost by accident. She started off making her own children’s birthday cakes, and – unsurprisingly when you see the calibre of the cakes she’s turning out – the requests just kept coming in from friends and family to make and decorate cakes for them.

Eventually she decided to get registered and set up professionally.

Ella is based in Effingham, between Leatherhead and Guilford, and takes orders from within the local area. She’s in demand, so ideally you will need to get your order in about six weeks before you need it. But if you get caught short and cakeless – it’s worth getting in touch with Ella because she’s super lovely and she truly believes that no-one should miss out out cake. So she’ll do her best to fit you in.

Ella makes cakes for all occasions – kids’ birthdays, grown-up birthdays, weddings, Christenings, anything – – and she’s happy to talk through likes, dislikes and allergies.

She’s most in demand for her children’s cakes – anything rainbow or unicorn related, or involving Lego is super popular. And it’s just as well, because kids’ cakes are her favourites ones to make.

Prices start from £65 for a single tier sponge cake.
