Just add candles is based in Shirland, Derbyshire and was created by myself, Julie in 2014. I specialise in Celebration & Novelty Cakes, Cupcakes & Cupcake Bouquets. All of these are homemade (without the use of ready mix packets), using high quality ingredients & free range eggs from a local farm. I am Council registered with a 5* food hygiene rating, and I am also fully insured with a current H

ealth & Hygiene Certificate. Whatever the occasion, budget or age, I can make a cake to suit your requirements. Browse through my photos for a glance at just some of the previous creations I have made for clients. For information regarding a cake of you choice, please contact me through a facebook message or call 07821606364.

💛Happy Birthday/ Happy Retirement 💛

This was a very special cake, as i held a raffle to raise funds for my London Marathon charity Blood Cancer UK 💜❤️
It was won by a lady who very kindly donated the cake to her work colleague as she was retiring and celebrating her birthday all in the same week.

Here is her lushious lemon 🍋 drip cake layered with lemon buttercream and lemon curd 🍋
