Going to Katie's studio was such a good experience. We only really had a vague idea of what we wanted our wedding cake to be, but she honed in on our ideas and expanded them so we are now having something that is far beyond our original expectations. Trying the cake itself is also a must as it is sublime! I would definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a cake maker to go along to see Katie.

Katie has been a friend and a client for years now and she has always succeeded in creating unique and delicious cakes. Her combination of classical, attractive designs and beautiful tasting, light cakes deserve to be recognised and enjoyed by others. Manny- Headmasters

Katie is a true perfectionist and takes pride in everything she does. The quality and appearance of her products are truely outstanding and it is for this reason she is my local food hero!

Katie is a very good friend of mine. Ever since i have known her she has worked so hard to get where she is today. Her cakes are amazing and she deserves to be recognised for her talents Selina

Katies enthusiasm and dedication to her cakes is second to none. She has created both my childrens christening cakes and will be making my 40th birthday cake next year, she uses the highest quality ingredients from local producers and I would not hesitate to recommend her services. She is a pleasure to deal with and has so many wonderful ideas for original cakes

Stunning is the first word I would use to describe Katie's cakes. Cutting edge cake designs that you would not expect to see outside of London, executed with such exquisite attention to detail that when you see they cost less than they would in the capital you can't quite believe it. The second word is delicious. I never thought wedding cakes were supposed to taste nice but Katie's are absolutely scrummy.

Fantastic creations, fantastic flavours

plainbob plainbob Posted 11 Jul 2008 10:28 AM

Cakes that look beautiful AND taste divine, a rare combination indeed. I never hesitate in sending my brides to Katie, knowing they will be met with fabulously creative ideas, professionalism, and the end result will splendid.

Katie made a cake for our son's Christening. She understood what we wanted straight away and the look of the completed cake was incredible! The taste of both layers (chocolate and carrot) was fantastic. I can't recommend Katie & Couture Cakes highly enough!

sgormley sgormley Posted 10 Jul 2008 4:04 PM

Preparation for your wedding must be one of the most stressful times of your life but Katie's enthusiasm, knowledge and passion made choosing a cake incredibly easy. I had full confidence in her creativity and she wowed us all with the wonderful chocolate creation she produced. I couldn't have asked for more.

Lee93 Lee93 Posted 10 Jul 2008 11:12 AM

Katie's enthusiasm, talent and dedication combine to produce the most wonderful, imaginative and delicious cakes. She would be a very worthy winner.

Stimmo1 Stimmo1 Posted 10 Jul 2008 11:01 AM

Couture cakes look so good that it's a torment in your head as to whether or not you could possibly take a bit but the minute you do, it's gone in seconds! Stunning to look at and gorgeous to taste. My personal belief is that it's Katie that makes the cakes so much more special in that she puts so much of her personality into them and you can see the time and effort that has been dedicated. Unique lady, unique cakes - wonderful!

JMunday JMunday Posted 10 Jul 2008 10:52 AM

The amount of detail on a wedding cake was commented on by everyone. If you have a wedding due - Check Katie out. You will be amazed! It tasted great as well by the way.

Trevor18 Trevor18 Posted 10 Jul 2008 9:31 AM

Katie and Couture Cakes deserve to win for providing real quality. Not cutting corners in terms of creativity, taste or the vital preparation needed for a very special cake make Katie stand out in terms of the service she provides - where personal service means exactly that. The customer really matters!

raincloud1 raincloud1 Posted 09 Jul 2008 10:03 PM

Katie offers a very personal service and is really up for trying something different. She has made me a beautiful Christening cake and also a birthday cake for my son. Both were to specific briefs. I would unreservedly recommend her to others and like the ethos of what she is trying to achieve with local products

bim2 bim2 Posted 09 Jul 2008 8:14 PM

Couture Cakes has a true passion in making every cake special and the combination of talent and local produce creates stunning cakes which taste fantastic!!

mark170 mark170 Posted 09 Jul 2008 7:58 PM

Couture Cakes offer unique designs for every cake and they taste fabulous too! As a wedding co-ordinator, I am happy to recommend Couture Cakes to clients.

Becx1 Becx1 Posted 09 Jul 2008 3:30 PM

I have tried one of Katies cakes from Couture Cakes and it was amazing. It was a stunning design and tasted incredible with moist chocolate sponge finished off with rich chocolate goo and truffles galore. I can honestly say it was the best cake i have ever had.

Kirsty82 Kirsty82 Posted 09 Jul 2008 3:15 PM

My daughter had her wedding cakes made at Couture Cakes. They were all individual and were absolutely beautiful, and the taste was heavenly. We would definitely order from this outlet again.

Boo41 Boo41 Posted 09 Jul 2008 2:33 PM

Katie is practical, enthusiastic and has an air of professionalism which instils confidence. Our daughter lives in the Far East, and Katie's imaginative ideas for her wedding cake are perfect - stylish, delicious and with an exotic twist. We are delighted!

Dutch6 Dutch6 Posted 09 Jul 2008 2:15 PM

Katie has been very flexible in seeing me for a last minute consultation, considering I called her in the morning, she saw me that afternoon and was very professional and provided tasters of all of her yummy cakes so we could make a decision. I cannot wait to see our wedding cake and I am sure it will taste as good as it will look. Katie was recommended to me by a friend who had used her and I have already recommended her to a friend who is also having a cake made for her wedding by Katie. I wish her the best of luck.

GeorgeB79 GeorgeB79 Posted 09 Jul 2008 11:21 AM

Couture Cakes 'created' a surperb cake for my Daughter's birthday. Katie went beyond the call of duty to ensure it was perfect. Not only did it look out of this world it also tasted sublime!!!

BAILS5 BAILS5 Posted 09 Jul 2008 10:42 AM

Katie made a birthday cake for my husband this year. The occasion was special and important for personal reasons. Katie gave her full attention to my requests, came up with some superb ideas that fitted with the occasion and made the most beautiful chocolate ganache wrap cake. It had the 'Wow' factor and tasted delicious. Katie's skills as a cake maker, designer and

Jules213 Jules213 Posted 09 Jul 2008 9:34 AM

Katie made my wedding cake for me at the end of May and it was just my dream cake. I told her what I was after and she worked with me to make it exactly what I wanted with the colours, style etc. But of course not only did it look incredible, it tasted amazing too! Wonderful service and wonderful cakes.

Ramya1 Ramya1 Posted 09 Jul 2008 9:14 AM

The most amazing cakes at great value. Personal service without being hurried! The most fantastic chocolate fruit cake!!!!

pab0303 pab0303 Posted 08 Jul 2008 11:12 PM

Katie, Has a passion for her craft, using local produce and creating stunning cakes that are to die for, we look forward to our wedding cake being delivered in August, Katie has time and understanding for even the most testing brides, giving support and advice through out, she totally understands her clients and there expectations I totally support Katie in this vote

Rosey1977 Rosey1977 Posted 08 Jul 2008 9:27 PM

Not only are Katies cakes amazing but the service she provides is too! I had a consultation with Katie for a wedding cake, she helped me so much and was very patient with me when I was indecisive. I have chosen the design for my cake and Katie still keeps in touch regularly with any ideas she has or upcoming events I may be interested in. I would reccomend her to anyone and I can't wait to see the final creation!!

Sarah274 Sarah274 Posted 08 Jul 2008 8:13 PM

Our wedding cakes were fantastic, they far exceeded our expectations. Katie is so caring, her attention to detail is second to none and she is incredibly talented. We will be using Katie again.

tilly18 tilly18 Posted 08 Jul 2008 7:47 PM

Katie Watts is a true professional in her field. Her attention to detail is superb and the ingredients she uses are of the best quality. Katie listens to her clients and works with them to achieve truly beautiful results. Many thanks Katie!

Titan1 Titan1 Posted 08 Jul 2008 7:34 PM

Katie has a great deal of talent and imagination. She also cares about her clients and the final results always show this. The cakes are always above and beyond expectation and are talked about long after the last crumb is eaten - definitely a local hero!

Ruth99 Ruth99 Posted 08 Jul 2008 7:20 PM

A very talented young lady with imagination and flair I have not seen in a long time. Being based on a farm using local ingredients is what a rural business should be about. Oh and the cakes are scrummy!.

dylan6 dylan6 Posted 08 Jul 2008 6:22 PM

Katie's ability to be totally individual and creative is what I loved about her work, along with her contagous smile and sense of humour. She made my daughter a birthday cake that became the talk of the town it was a princess castle, the attention to detail of this work of art was amazing and I cannot recommend Couture Cakes enough. Also as an Occasions, Portrait and Wedding photographer I see a lot of Cakes but by far Katie Watts (Couture Cakes) is who I recommend every single time!!!

Cath57 Cath57 Posted 08 Jul 2008 5:57 PM

I like the fact that Couture Cakes is based on the farm and literally could not be closer to the source of its ingredients - organic flour and free range eggs. The attention to detail on the decoration of the cakes is amazing, but best of all is the taste - especially the chocolate fruit cake.

hk2 hk2 Posted 08 Jul 2008 5:30 PM

I've just commissioned Katie to make my wedding cake, so although I am yet to see a finished result, I am confident that it will be out of this world! The samples displayed in her studio are exquisite, & the flavours available taste amazing. We spent over an hour there having our initial consultation, & have been corresponding ideas ever since - she is very pro-active in the whole design process. I've got a year to go yet, & can't wait to see & taste our cake!

mazza-p mazza-p Posted 08 Jul 2008 5:03 PM

I cannot recommend Couture Cakes highly enough. Katie made the most spectacular christening cake for our son that not only looked amazing but tasted absolutely delicious. In fact our guests still comment on it to this day. Katie is an exceptionally talented and dedicated pastry chef. Katie's passion for her craft shows in all of her attention to detail from using only the finest ingredients to creating the most beautiful and captivating designs you can imagine. Katie has a real skill and I hope that her talents are recognised.

Dan106 Dan106 Posted 08 Jul 2008 4:43 PM

Katie truly is a master at her craft. I have run wedding fayres across the Midlands and met many cake makers but by far and away the best in the business is Couture Cakes. Every cake is beautifully finished and the tastes and texture of the cakes are absolutely heavenly. I have had brides at our fayres comment on how professional Katie is and how fantastic her cakes are and I couldn't agree more

Lara13 Lara13 Posted 08 Jul 2008 4:28 PM

I can honestly say that the amount of hard work and dedication that goes into these temporary works of art is an absolute credit to the artist creating them. The attention to detail was outstanding and the customer service provided by Miss Watts was nothing short of excellent. Considering this is a small and relatively new business, if the quality is this consistant and at the level it is at now, then the only way is up for Couture Cakes. The very best of luck for the future!

Cloudybum Cloudybum Posted 08 Jul 2008 3:55 PM

Katie made a truely beautiful cake for my friends wedding - it was outstanding and really was a work of art - it tasted fantastic as well.

Gav18 Gav18 Posted 08 Jul 2008 3:20 PM

These cakes taste amazing and look beautiful. I would recommend to anyone.

rach831 rach831 Posted 08 Jul 2008 2:59 PM

After searching high and low for the perfect wedding cake, we finally found Katie and thank goodness we did. We had a lengthy discussion about our wishes and design ideas and Katie was very patient indeed as we changed our minds so many times! The tasting of the cakes was wonderful (that definitely kept the groom happy). Between us we came up with the best wedding cake that suited the theme of our wedding. On the day the cake was perfect and was commented upon by all of our guests. I just have to think of an excuse to get Katie to make another cake for us :o)

susiear8 susiear8 Posted 08 Jul 2008 2:57 PM

Katie is currently in the process of designing my wedding cake. When discussing the specification for the cake, Katie spent a great deal of time and trouble thinking through imaginative proposals for how we could achieve the look we wanted to fit in with our wedding theme. Since, we have had excellent service as she has kept in touch and up to date with developments. I will be recommending her to any other friends or family members who are looking to have a wedding cake made in future.

Emma174 Emma174 Posted 08 Jul 2008 2:37 PM

Katie knows how to make and bake the finest cakes in Lincolnshire. My partner Colin and I asked her to make our wedding cake and we never regretted it once. She must spend hours decorating them to make them look that good!

Will76 Will76 Posted 08 Jul 2008 2:30 PM

Katie makes the most fabulous cakes around. As a wedding planner the quality of all the suppliers I use is incredibly important to me and I cannot recommend Couture Cakes enough, quality inside and out!

kissthefrog kissthefrog Posted 08 Jul 2008 2:21 PM

The best cakes I've ever eaten. Plus they always look fantastic.

dunc6 dunc6 Posted 08 Jul 2008 2:12 PM

I came across Katie at a wedding show, both myself and my fiancee were so impressed by her professionalism, her unique designs and her passion for fabulous homemade cakes utilising her families organic produce. The choice of flavours Katie offers is wonderful, her cakes taste exquisite!! We have noticed how many local newspapers and magazines have done features on Couture Cakes, it's no wonder as once you try them you will realise just what all the excitement is all about. A very pleasant, professional personal and unique service awaits you!!

Debi26 Debi26 Posted 08 Jul 2008 2:11 PM

Katie made us the most beautiful wedding cake. It looked absolutely fantastic and tasted amazing. The attention to detail was outstanding and it must have taken her months to make. She was happy to help with all of our requirements and made our day even more special with her cake taking it's rightful place in many pictures.....

clb8 clb8 Posted 08 Jul 2008 2:01 PM

Katie makes the best cakes I've ever tasted. And what's more - they always look almost too good to eat! Every cake that's made is made using local ingredients, many from the family's organic farm. Our wedding cake has gone down in history with our guests!

Suttsy1 Suttsy1 Posted 08 Jul 2008 1:59 PM

Katie is a cake making goddess!! She has a fantastic proactive approach to her business, not to mention the cakes which are out of this world in both flavour and design. She offers individual consultations in her beautiful studio, and her ideas and knowledge along with her attention to detail set her way above any other cake maker I have come across.

cathyd1 cathyd1 Posted 08 Jul 2008 1:55 PM

Katie is making our wedding cake. We tasted her cakes at a wedding fayre and there was no way we were having it made anywhere else. Katie has been really helpful and has an array of gorgeous cakes on display in her studio. The cakes themselves taste amazing and I am looking forward to everyone enjoying them our wedding cake.

Clare89 Clare89 Posted 08 Jul 2008 1:55 PM

Its so natural with the modern decor, the samples are fantastic, but the cakes are even better

SarahS1988 SarahS1988 Posted 08 Jul 2008 11:53 AM

Katie is making my wedding cake for me and I am really excited about seeing the final masterpiece. Couture Caked offers a lovely service, you visit Katie in her studio and over a cup of tea try all the flavours of cakes Katie makes while discussing what you want your cake to look like. Katie is very talented, her cakes not only look but taste amazing. I hope she does well in the awards

Rach117 Rach117 Posted 08 Jul 2008 11:31 AM

Couture Cakes makes the most fabulous celebration and wedding cakes, with each cake being custom designed to suit the individuals needs, to produce a true 'feast of the eyes' They go to extensive lengths to use the best quality local ingredients, gowing many themselves on their conservation award winning farm. The resulting taste is the most gorgeous cake you will ever experience.
