Jan'S Cakes Hertfordshire Description
I am a Mum who enjoys making celebration cakes and would love to make one for you! What ever the occasion, I can make your cake or cupcakes - weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, Christenings, Easter, Graduation, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas, Corporate events or 'just because'. . . . .
All my cakes are freshly made to order from scratch using quality ingredients (NO packet mixes or pre-frozen cakes here! ).
If you have special dietary needs, please feel free to discuss them with me and I will do my utmost to meet your needs - I make cakes using recipes that are Gluten Free, Vegetarian, vegan, egg free, etc, so it's worth an ask. Please bear in mind, though that my kitchen is a general purpose domestic kitchen, so whilst I do my utmost, cross-contamination is possible.
My kitchen is registered and Environmental Health Inspected ‘5’ (maximum) rated.
I am fully insured and hold a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate, and have completed the FSA Food Allergy training, too.

My most popular, Madagascan vanilla sponge cake is 4 layers deep, Madagascan vanilla buttercream filled (3 layers), sugarpaste covered, on a sugarpaste covered cake drum edged with ribbon in a cake transportation box.

Cupcakes: in multiples of 12 (design can vary for each cupcake) are from £2 each in vanilla, rising to £5 + each, depending on design and decoration. All cupcakes are presented in cupcake transportation boxes and can be baked in colour co-ordinating cupcake cases.
Other flavours are available including chocolate, coffee, orange, lemon, carrot, Baileys, Prosecco, white chocolate and raspberry, heavy fruit cake and all attract a supplement to cover the additional costs.
Cakes made using recipes that address Special dietary requirements are priced per order and include options for Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Vegan, 100% natural colours only, unrefined sugars, etc. If you have other special dietary requirements, please do ask and I will assist you where possible.

All my cake decorations are hand crafted by me. My cakes are professionally presented and packaged safely in boxes specifically designed for the cakes or cupcakes. I do not accept any responsibility once your order has left my care. Due to the delicate nature of decorated cakes and cupcakes, care and attention must be taken when transporting /moving them as refunds will not apply.
If you would like a bespoke cake or cupcakes please contact me on Jan_fewell@hotmail.com or 07780 677995 and I will be very happy to help you.
PLEASE NOTE: If you enquire about a cake or cupcakes, it remains an enquiry until I have received your 50% (non-refundable) retainer fee. It does not go in the diary as an order until I have received your retainer fee payment. My full terms and conditions can be found at JansCakesHertfordshire. co. uk
For those of you who are curious about how I came to this profession, just for personal interest, I went on a cupcake decorating course run by the wonderful Shereen from https://www. facebook.com/shereenscakesandbakeslowerstondon at the end of 2011 where she unlocked my hitherto hidden artistic side! The rest, as they say, is history!
Thank you for reading to the end! Jan

FREE MONDAY TREAT** Who would like to give these two carrot cake Cupcakes topped with zesty orange buttercream a home to today? Collection from Walkern by 3.15pm or after 6pm. First to say yes please.... Go!
Aspects of the 80's and a 'nod' to the gentleman's work, too. Client had a topper to go on the cake, as well
A ginger cake with ombre tonal ginger buttercream covering and stem ginger slices for a gentleman celebrating his milestone birthday. Secret admission: I did eat the levellings from the top of this bake - purely for quality testing purposes, of course, you understand!
For a group fundraiser in aid of Cancer Research UK cupcake toppers donated for putting on their own bakes. I hope you make lots of money on 15th February!
How many fish can you spot? Some are harder to find than others!
Possibly one of the most unusual design briefs to date - a giant acorn! This was a gluten free recipe dark chocolate mud cake.
Remember that structure I posted recently? Thank you to those who played along! Several of you guessed various 'close' answers - it is a John Deere 9R series tractor (the birthday boy is an tractor and agricultural machinery fanatic - almost all cakes have been from the theme over the years!) I was asked to make the tractor support it's weight on the wheels and you can see right through underneath the cake, like a real vehicle! So here is my nice clean tractor parked in a muddy field - the headlights and warning hazard light are all all real, working lights, too.
Who can tell me what this is going to be?! Only a few special cakes start off with a jigsaw, drill, countersinker, hacksaw, spanners, sandpaper & a couple of hours in the garage!
I hope you all had a bit of a rest/time away from work over the Christmas/New Year period and are ready to enjoy the 'ride' that 2020 will bring!
Now I am back, a couple of things to let you know about from me: - I have not put up my prices for a long while and the good news is that is to remain the case, however, I am raising my minimum order value to £100. In reality, this wont make a difference to most of my clients as you mostly order up to or over this now, but all o...rders in future will need to be £100 as a minimum.
The other thing is to remind you that I do get booked up well ahead and many weeks of this year are already fully booked, so it is never too late to book the diary slot.
Wishing you all a healthy and happy 2020 and I hope to be caking for your event this year!

Wishing all my clients and followers, friends and family a happy and healthy 2020. Happy New Year one and all!
Sometimes it is fun to do a re-post of a cake - this was a wedding cake for a lovely couple who married at Christmas 2 years ago. What is more appropriate and fun than tiers of 'puddings' - the cakes caused some comment even confusing the minds of the kitchen staff at the venue! Happy Anniversary James Hamilton and Emma Houlihan Hamilton.
My last wedding cake of 2019 - a winter twist on a popular design. Nicki & Sophie chose a 'semi-naked' style white chocolate ganache covered cake with tiers of carrot with zesty orange buttercream; zesty lemon with filling of zesty lemon buttercream & lemon curd; Madagascan vanilla with Madagascan vanilla buttercream & my organically home grown homemade wholefruit strawberry jam for their wedding at Hotel Cromwell Stevenage. The cake topper was supplied by the couple from Laser Hill Creations. May you have a long and happy life together! Nicki Reynolds Sophie Hoskins
Wishing all my clients a very Merry Christmas & a happy & healthy New year. Thank you so much for all your continued support of my little business for which I am most grateful!
Below is our family cake, rather hastily decorated as time has run against me lol! This is a marzipan covered, 3-month matured, Brandy soaked traditional heavy fruit cake - 'fed' until it leaked so no eating & driving in this house!
I am taking time out & will be back again after New Year. Enjoy the holiday wherever you are & whatever you have planned!
This was a mini 4" 3-month matured Brandy soaked traditional heave fruit cake that survived posting, too! The candle is real & the recipients will light their cake on Christmas day
Jake absolutely loves dinosaurs - this year he wanted one hatching included in the design. Jo Mickleburgh Paul Mickleburgh
Another take on a popular design of mine, this time egg free Madagascan vanilla sponge. (Bunting supplied by the client)
For a lady celebrating a milestone birthday, who loves nothing more than a cup of tea and a slice of cake. (inspired by an image shared by client).
For a huge https://www.facebook.com/Drake/ fan celebrating her 21st birthday. (The frame and image were all edible.) I hope you had a wonderful party Ellie! (This was the cake the fashion cupcakes went with.)
