About The Nuthouse Bakery
A small, friendly down-to-earth business run by Laura Nolan, who has won numerous awards for artful baked creations.
The Nuthouse Bakery Description
The Nuthouse Bakery is a small, independent bakery located in the West Midlands. Our specialty is teaching the fine art of cake baking and decorating. Our regular classes and workshops take place in our home kitchen, which provides a personal touch for as many as four students at a time. We can accommodate larger classes if necessary – or even one-on-one instruction which, if needed, can take place at your home.
Our website lists full details of our classes and schedules. Please feel free to visit each page and sample our offerings. We are especially proud of our very popular Cupcake Bootcamp, where you’ll learn everything you need to know about cupcakes -- from how to prepare and bake to ensuring the perfect light, moist, delicious result. We also cover decoration using a variety of techniques and products including buttercream and sugar paste.
For Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter, we gear up with seasonal classes to fit the occasion. Want to improve your technique in specific areas? Ask about our specialist classes. We are more than happy to create a class to meet your requirements for a group booking – and what a fantastic way to start off a hen party or other social event!
Where other trainers’ instruction ends, ours is still getting started! We’ll share from our personal experience as a custom-baking provider and will happily provide guidance via phone or email after you have attended one of our classes and need some help to get something 'just right'! We don’t abandon you to a fate of kitchen frustration.
Let us know what you need – whether it’s cupcakes or larger cakes suitable for cutting, we’ll help you make it happen. Remember, you not only learn how to make something fabulous – you get to take it home with you. In fact, if there’s a one-of-a-kind design in your head that you’d like for your very own, we can help you bring it to life.

So a while back I was asked to do a casino cake - which I absolutely LOVED making...the first two images I was provided with for inspiration and the third is my creation....it is quite interesting when you look at attention to detail that i.e. the roulette wheel's numbers in one image are not correct (that actually does not matter at all as most people wouldn't even notice this and both cakes are lovely) but when you've worked in the gaming industry half your life and are asked to make a cake - well that's a different story... out came the ruler....
DEATH BY CHOCOLATE...fabulous way to start the classes off for the year....DEATH BY CHOCOLATE...fabulous way to start the classes off for the year....

A while back I met and had the privileged to work with the MOST AMAZING couple from London to help design and make a "Halloween Wedding Cake" for them. I wanted to try and keep it simple yet classy as the wedding was at one of my favorite venues to work with Rowton Castle . April and Simon were kind enough to share their amazing video with me which features the cake and topper which was flown back from San Diego by me last year especially for the cake.

Busy trying to clean up documents etc today and came across this article that was run on me a few years ago in an International Cake Magazine. Was an interesting read and sort of a chuckle as I'm currently sitting in New Orleans.
Article "The trials and tribulations of running a cake business! Whilst working for oneself doing something as lovely as making and decorating cakes is of course almost a universal delight, just occasionally you reflect and wonder how exactly did yo...

Gutted I didn't get any better images (will blame other half who took pics) as I had to set up at venue as delivery was in seperate tiers. I LOVED making this cake. I somewhat strayed from the original brief and pictures sent but stuck with the main theme.
A rather large #babyshower cake that went out in December. Hope they loved it.
I loved making this #celebrationcake for a very special little boy. Hope he had a fabulous birthday as always.
Yummy!! Our wedding cake was amazing and so tasty � Laura went above and beyond when we were suddenly faced with a white wedding to ensure our cake got to us on our day- thanks again so much for that!! I would highly recommend her ��� xxx
Yesterday me and my mum went to a cupcake bootcamp and it was fantastic, lovely and relaxing we came away with some truly beautiful and tasty cupcakes as well as feeling like we had learnt ALOT more than we were expecting. Laura was patient, funny and very good at teaching complete beginners. We are already looking at other classes with the Nuthouse bakery!
The best cake we have ever bought! And to make it better it's for our sons first birthday amazing and really good for the price!! I'd recommend Nuthouse Bakery to everyone

Laura is so friendly and such a great teacher. I was instantly at ease. The class was really informative, learned a trick or two I wouldn't have thought of.

Had a fantastic day on the cupcake bootcamp course. Laura was so welcoming and really made me feel at ease during my first ever attempt at making and decorating cupcakes. I can honestly say I learnt so much and intend to make more cupcakes at home! I was so proud at how the cupcakes turned out and they were absolutely delicious!!!! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.
Firstly, laura is a great woman and very talented ! The cake we asked for was designed and decorated in a very professional manner. On top of that she added her own twist to the original recipe we asked for that made it taste way better ! xx
Fantastic Cupcake Bootcamp. Such a great teacher in a lovely environment. I learned lots of new things and the cupcakes that we made were beautiful, couldn't have done that on my own. Looking forward to doing the advanced class in the future
Beautiful cake made By Laura for my daughters 21st birthday. So easy to deal with. Prompt communication. Was delighted with finished result especially as I completely changed design few weeks before and Laura helped with a new design. Would definitely recommend.
Absolutely fantastic semi naked wedding cake. In fact, the cake nearly out shone the bride!! Every guest commented on how delicious it was. Highly recommended.
Absolutely brilliant day spent here doing the cake boot camp. The classes are small and laid back and Laura is very patient and explains things perfectly. Would highly recommend The Nuthouse Bakery 😀
