Head over to one of my favourite places and meet some amazing suppliers, can't wait to go for the first time as a supplier to my wedding venue 😍
Earlier this week my little giant turned 4, he's Bluey obsessed and all I've heard, for what feels like forever, is I'd like a Bluey cake Mama, when asked what flavour he wanted he was very clear it was chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream and raspberry but blue on the outside.
Bluey and family were not my usual fondant characters due to booking a rather last minute and very large wedding exhibition the day after his party however as I love sugar modelling, one day when I find time, i'll give them a go.
He was delighted and that smile when he saw it was one I won't forget. His friends all took home individually boxed cupcakes with Bluey themed toppers and I've had plenty of photos of them being eaten/enjoyed/worn 😃
Happy 4th birthday lil man x

It's been a 'fun' week here at JVB, a few of my lovely brides to be pointed out they'd not been receiving my emails and some had their emails bounced back
I think I've cured my pesky email issues now, I will not be emailing after midnight just in case it starts feeding them again 😉
I've emailed all enquiries I've received in last few days, I believe I've contacted anyone that I was waiting for a reply from or has a cake due soon, I've also reached out to any enquiry that their cake date hasn't passed yet so please check your emails and spam folders and if you haven't had a reply drop me a DM here, email again or WhatsApp me.
Thanks for your patience and understanding and let's hope I won't have to make 80's movies references again anytime soon 🤞
Congratulations to S & S who got married today at the beautiful Sheffield Manor Lodge Oaks House, the team were so friendly,
Special thanks to Emma from Forever Yours for staying until my arrival time and helping carry cake from the car, the flowers were perfect. Also fab to meet Lily the wedding singer and chat all things weddings

Wedding Taster Boxes are now available. Your cake is a significant part of your day, the photos of cutting your cake and feeding one another that first bite will be a cherished memory for the rest of your lives, plus a talking point for many of your guests to reminisce over how beautiful your cake was, how well it represented you as a couple and how delicious your cake was AND they couldn't believe it was vegan!
Most of my couples, until recently, had tried my cakes before booking me and booked me purely because they loved my flavours and like my easy going approach. I'm now being approached by new customers who have yet to try my bakes and in my opinion you should taste before you book, these taster boxes give you a chance to taste 6 of my flavours (the menu is much longer) but gives you a great feel for my bakes and style.
This is your day and your cake should be as unique as you both are without compromise, no choosing style over substance. What does your dream cake look and taste like? Do you want sugar flowers? A non traditional theme or colour? How are you making your cake your own? I have so many individual and quirky cakes booked in and I love that I can help my couples bring their dream cake to life, please don't settle for a non vegan baker that has one vegan option
While these are advertised as wedding taster boxes they are available to buy if you want a good cake fix
As an introductory offer these are £25* however this will be deducted off your final bill when you book with me
I have availability for 2023 (date dependant) as I only take on a limited number each month to give each creation the time they deserve. Bookings have started for 2024
Drop me a message to order
*Postage is extra & non-refundable

Yesterday I had the absolute honour of setting up these rich blue and white cupcakes at the stunning @kenwoodhallhotel, a dozen vegan rich decadent chocolate sponge with vanilla buttercream and a dozen vegan chocolate sponge made with glutenless ingredients and vanilla buttercream all topped with @bakingtimeclub sprinkles which they very kindly upgraded my order
I love making ornate wedding cupcakes, there is something calming about making them all as identical as possible
Colours are a mix of @fractalcolors, @colour.mill @sugarflaircoloursltd to achieve that rich dark blue and bright white, perfectly offset with the obsidian sprinkles from baking time club.
I hope to heading back to Kenwood Hall in the not too distant future, the team there were a delight to chat with while I was setting up and the room was just beautiful

*sings* I can make my own flowers..... After an in-person lesson with the amazing Liz from @sugarflowersbyliz, I have been admiring her flower making skills for a while, she just happens to live 20 mins away from me so we arranged for a one to one session
I got to fully sugar geek out and ask a million questions, I loved that she made everything so simple, no question was to silly and I felt like I was having a flower session with a friend, chatting and sharing information, I can't wait to go back and try other flowers with her
She even managed to snap a picture of me with my creation that I'm happy to share!
The pink one is from today's session and the peach/cream one is from my online tutorial I made a few weeks back
What do you think are you Team Pink or Peach?

Happy New Year lovelies
Today has been a play day in the kitchen, trying out my new @dinkydoodlecake airbrush this morning and finishing off this week's homework as I'm also studying a complete confidence in airbrushing course with Dawn.
Then spent the afternoon learning how to make an Avalanche rose from a course by @suzanneespercakeschool, very happy with this as a first attempt in this style.
What flower would you like to see made out of sugar?
Fully vegan and allergen free food colours and floral paste used 😍 no compromises in my kitchen

What a year 2022 has been, I've been surprised by how many people have chosen to work with me and just how many people have returned (some several times!) for more cakes.
Plus the amazing support of friends and family and the customers who have become friends. You're all amazing and I cannot thank you enough
These three bakes left the kitchen this week 😍
Excited for year two so 2023 let's be having you, I've got some amazing celebration cakes and weddings booked in that I cannot wait to bring to life
Happy New Year to you all, May 2023 be kind to you all xx

One Year Anniversary today 🎉🎉
A massive heartfelt thank you to each and every person who ordered a cake, came to my stall at various markets, shouted about me on social media and of course to all my family and friends who have never once doubted my ability and been massive cheerleaders for JVB, I can't actually express just how grateful I am 😍 you're all stars 🌟
This business year started with my confidence low and thoughts of why would anyone order a cake from me to getting to the point I've had to refuse cakes it's been so busy, you can see a selection of this year's cakes and bakes in the video but that's not all of them 🤦🏼♀️
My confidence in my ability and recipes had increased dramatically and I'm very very fortunate that I've already got numerous orders for my next business year and some amazing wedding cakes booked in already so watch out for them
Thank you all for helping my dream become my reality and for allowing me to be part of your special celebrations
Much love
Jojo

Oh wow my kitchen smells AMAZING right now, that beautiful combination of dried fruit warmed up with a little brandy, whisky, orange and lemon juice, studded with glace cherries, ground and chopped almonds and allllllll those festive spices. All this deliciousness and that's before I make my own almond paste and top with icing
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in this vegan bakery kitchen
If you fancy trying a slice head over to @ridgeway.farmersmarket on Sunday 20th between 11-3
There will be some new winter themed cupcakes making an appearance such as orange and cranberry with Christmas spiced buttercream, along with a rich chocolate cupcake with cherry conserve and vanilla buttercream (black forest in a cupcake) and a few other classic favourites

I know it's not cake but I love carving pumpkins and can't wait until my little one can join in.
Have you carved one? I'd love to see your creations 🎃
Happy Halloween
First wholesale order left the kitchen today, this is just one of the items I dropped off 🎉

Just over a week ago I was setting up this beautiful two tier wedding cake, with fresh flower decoration, for a truly lovely couple in what can only be described as extreme heat.
I was so concerned it was going to melt or collapse due to the heat, fortunately the couple let me know that the cake stood proud until 7.45pm (it was set up by 1pm) and only collapsed as they'd eaten over three quarters of it 🎉 🍾🥂
I may have danced round my house to this news 🤣
The venue, Underbank School Room, was absolutely beautiful and dressed to perfection by the couple. While setting up I had the pleasure of meeting two ladies from @ginger_sheffield_ and their food looked amazing
So what was inside the cake... the bottom tier was a triple layer zesty lemon sponge with zingy lemon buttercream and raspberry conserve. The top tier was a four layer almond sponge studded with cherries and filled with almond/vanilla flavoured buttercream and raspberry conserve
Congratulations again 🥂

Happy Birthday to me, the joys of being a baker means you get to bake your own birthday cake and get to play with some new toys like this striping scraper
Inside this beauty is four layers of rich chocolate sponge, chocolate butter cream and cherry conserve, my version of a classic black forest which is my all time favourite
What's your ideal birthday cake?

ODYSSEY (noun) - a long and eventful or adventurous journey or experience
My lovely client wanted to surprise her daughter and new son in law, on their wedding day, as they didn't get to celebrate achieving their PHD.
I was given free reign on the design after the first enquiry, I went straight back with the concept of two graduation caps sat on a textbook and would work the Uni logo and Dr&Dr somehow
My husband helped research possible book options, and this couldn't be more perfect for the journey they took to achieve their PHD and as they are about to start their journey as Husband and Wife 💍
Congratulations Jess & Al 🥂🍾🥂
How did you spend your day today?
I made Kylie the Koala (while sat in front of a fan) for a special little girls first birthday cake which I'm making later in the week, her Mama has already had a sneak peak so I thought I share this cutie with you all
Hope you're all keeping as cool as possible

We're at @beanieswholefoods today until 4pm, pop down and say hi, some amazing stalls here I've already spent a fair amount on jams and there is a craft stall I've not managed to wander down to yet 😍
