As with many cake makers who venture into the world of celebration cakes, Fiona initially started cake decorating as a hobby, with family and friends being the first beneficiaries. Her talent and artistic flair, along with years of experience working as a confectioner, and an increasing number of enquiries lead Fiona to see that there was a requirement for a high quality cake designer in the Aberdeenshire area, and Cakes by Fiona Barnett was established. Fiona's cake designs can be seen in several issues of ' Wedding cakes - a design source',  and ' Your Dream Wedding  She has recently been invited to exhibit in the Wedding cake showroom at the Squires exhibition, along with some of the countries top wedding cake designers

 

All the cakes on this website have been made by Fiona, and can be seen in our extensive portfolio. She is a member of the British Sugarcraft Guild, and has won  several national awards for her designs. Since its launch, Cakes by Fiona Barnett has gained a reputation as one of the regions most innovative, original and creative designers of wedding and celebration cakes

 

Our Cakes

A true cake designer should be able to create the cake of your dreams, and Cakes by Fiona Barnett will provide you with a delicious, and stunning bespoke cake that will make your day truly memorable. All the cakes are hand-baked by Fiona, and can be made in most shapes or sizes, with a variety of flavours and fillings. In certain circumstances it may be possible to modify the recipes to suit special dietary requirements. Unfortunately the cakes will not be nut allergy safe, as they are made in an environment where nuts are used. Whatever your occasion, weddings, birthdays or corporate events let Cakes by Fiona Barnett make your celebration unique and special

 

Opening Times

Opening times are currently by appointment only, but arrangements can be made for evening and weekend consultations.

 

Pricing

Unfortunately it is not possible to give prices for our cakes without knowing your requirements. All cakes are custom made to order, and prices will vary according to your design. However as a rough guide to work from, you should be looking at a price between £2.50 - £6 per serving, depending on the complexity of the design. To determine the price of a cake, a consultation would be arranged, and the finer points of design, colours and cake type and sizes would be discussed. Once I have this information I can provide a quote for the cake.

 

 Orders

Demand for by Fiona's cakes can be high, especially during the summer months, it is therefore advisable to reserve the date early to ensure that we can assure availability. Wedding cakes are often ordered up to a year in advance, with 4 months being the minimum notice for fruitcake orders. This will allow the cake time to mature. It is possible to make sponge or chocolate sponge wedding or celebration cakes in less time, but the dates required may not be available. We will always try our best to accommodate a last minute order, but cannot guarantee the required date slot. In all cases feel free to call and discuss your requirements. 

 

Stands and Separators

There is a range of stands and separators that are available for hire. The stands can be hired for £10, and separators for £5, but an additional deposit is required to cover the cost of damage or loss to the stand / separator. The deposit is returned in full upon the safe return of the stand/ separator. The stands must be returned by the date agreed or the deposit is forfeited
