Welcome to my world….

My name is May and I grew up in an old rambling house in the Cotswold’s and since childhood I have delighted in baking and cake decorating. On a summer’s day you would find me in the garden making mud pies topped with primroses and trying to find my own formula for crystallizing rose petals. When I was old enough I moved from the garden to the kitchen, baking Victoria sponges in our old Rayburn. I became official baker for all family events and most days after school I would whisk up a new recipe.

I headed off to university where I studied ‘Art and Design History’ and along the way I flirted with the music industry. I sang backing vocals for Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin and generally I had a lot of fun, eventually marrying a musician! But the music world wasn’t as flowery and pink as I’d have liked it to be and I was continually drawn back to the cake kitchen. I decided to start my own cake company. I earned extra money by working for the Queen at Buckingham Palace and I would often provide cupcakes for the private secretaries office decorating them with golden sugar crowns!

I’ve come a long way since my childhood days in the garden and like a fairy tale my mud pies have been transformed into beautiful wedding cakes! As a craftswoman, the lines and forms that make my cakes unique and special are perfected with my own hands. I am dedicated to using the purest ingredients and utilising seasonal produce to create my exquisitely worked sugar designs. My work as Maisie Fantaisie has appeared in ‘You and Your Wedding’, ‘Brides’ magazine, ‘Wedding’ magazine, ‘Cosmo Bride’ and ‘The Sunday Times’ and also on the BBC, Channel four and ITV. I have had two books published and I supply some of the most prestigious London and UK Venues.
