Every cake I make begins the way a good design should, with intention.
Based in Gatley on the border of Manchester and Cheshire, I create bespoke celebration cakes for birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers and milestone occasions.
Each one is handcrafted from scratch using premium, fresh ingredients and finished in buttercream or white chocolate ganache.
No fondant, no templates, just a considered design built around you.

Flavours
I believe that beautiful cakes should also taste amazing!
That’s why I refuse to settle for simple flavours. I’ve meticulously tested numerous combinations to ensure every bite is an unforgettable experience.
I only use fresh, high-quality, and organic ingredients, ensuring that each cake is not just a feast for the eyes, but a celebration of flavour and quality you can taste in every slice.
Please note: my cakes are not gluten-free or dairy-free and are not suitable for vegans. Some fillings contain animal-derived gelatine; vegetarian-friendly alternatives can be provided upon request.

You don't need to arrive with the finished design in your head. That's my job.
Choose the style that feels most like you and I'll use it as the starting point for your colour palette, textures and finishing details, creating a bespoke cake that's completely individual to your celebration.

Deeper hues like red or burgundy, often with floral designs or greenery, add charm.

A boho style cake exudes whimsical charm and artistic flair, ideal for relaxed, personalised celebrations.

As someone who appreciates modern cakes, you likely value simplicity and elegance in your choices.
You might prefer a clean and simple, minimalistic look, often gravitating towards soft neutral colours like white, cream, or light pastels, however striking colours can be effectively used as well to enhance visual appeal and draw attention.

How It Works
From architecture to cake
Hi, I’m Katerina! Founder of FLOC Bakes.
For nearly 20 years, I worked as a qualified architect, trained to think about proportion, balance, texture, colour and how individual details come together as a whole.
Today, I bring that same eye to cake.
It's why every FLOC design is considered from every angle, whether I'm creating a clean minimalist cake, a contemporary buttercream finish or an intricate statement piece.
Same eye for design. Different canvas.
