Story
Established in 2007 by The Cake Director Nicola Hall. To design and create edible works of art.
Nicola’s original background was in art and design. However, she actually enjoyed a career as a Lloyds Insurance Broker for 12 years before leaving the city to follow a more creative path. Whilst still working as a Broker, Nicola researched a keen interest – cake decorating and felt there was a gap in the market for very traditional and ornate wedding cakes. Nicola felt that old skills of royal icing and piping had been lost over the years to new trends and she wanted to bring back the most decorative cakes, featuring the highest level of skill in design, sugar craft and artistry.
Hall of Cakes was born by making a christening cake for a friend’s little boy (at the last birthday he was 17!). This lead to other cake orders from friends and family and 18 months later Nicola took the decision to leave the City and set up Hall of Cakes. Although, telling your new husband on your honeymoon ‘i am going be become a wedding cake maker’ didn’t go down that well!
Coupled with a natural artistic talent, Nicola's passion for history and a love of architecture provided a perfect foundation for design inspiration.
