I’m based in Burpham, Guildford,
and bake for Guildford; Burpham; Merrow; Shalford; Shere; Cranleigh; Worplesdon; Woking; and beyond.
I’ve always baked and loved the creative process. However in 2020 things changed. I did a days online course for fun, on how to make cupcake bouquets. A friend who saw my first efforts said “Oh wow, would you make these to sell?” Before I knew it, I said ‘Yes!’ I was the most surprised of all! Within a few months shortybakescakes was born, insured, registered, inspected and 5* hygiene rated. If I’m going to do something this precious and worthwhile, I’m going to do it properly.

I have been ordering cakes from shortybakescakes for a number of years now and the quality, design and taste of these are second to none. Sara has a very personal approach to her communications, gathering specific requirements and ensures the celebration & occasion is fully captured in her designs. Our family has specific dietary requirements and Sara is always more than happy to find alternatives whilst still delivering really tasty cakes.
Sara has baked many times for us; from a special 30th birthday cake where she followed the brief of a Spanish theme, beautiful flower bouquet cupcakes and boxed cupcakes for birthdays. Sara’s attention to detail is phenomenal and everything she has made for us both looks amazing but more importantly tastes divine. The orders are always ready on time and beautifully presented for transporting. I could not recommend shortybakescakes more highly and am just waiting for the next excuse to order again!
We use Sara for cakes for the whole family and have done for years. We give her a vague idea and she creates a design which we approve; before it becomes a beautiful and totally delicious cake. We’ve had sports theme, Dungeons and Dragons, fairies, a beach, zoo animals, a bouquet of flowers to name a few. We’re a family of dietary intolerances and she has always managed to cater for these and been very clear on ingredients included. Quite simply, I wouldn’t want to use anyone else. Thank you, Sara!!
I collaborated with Sara recently to craft an exceptional cake in honour of my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary, which was skilfully baked and expertly decorated. Her guidance made the entire process remarkably smooth; she was responsive and made some valuable suggestions. The outcome was a wonderful centrepiece cake and intricately designed cupcakes, that were light and had an incredible taste. What truly stood out was Sara’s exceptional service, expertise, professionalism, and dedication shine through in her creations. I look forward to collaborating with Sara again for forthcoming celebrations.
Sara is an amazing professional talented person who is passionate about her work, and hugely interested in her clients and their needs.
I would always recommend her for any cakey stuff not just for the quality but also because of the excellent service she provides.
