Silvie

SILVIE is my Oxford-based cake business, making bespoke wedding cakes, dessert tables and celebration cakes for customers across Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. I make everything myself, with flavour, good ingredients and thoughtful decoration at the heart of it.

My style is relaxed and full of character, from buttercream cakes with seasonal fruit and flowers to playful designs inspired by your ideas. Whether you’re planning a wedding, birthday or gathering, you’ll work directly with me to create something personal, memorable and lovely to eat.

SILVIE brings together my background in food and baking with my love of making things by hand. For me, cakes are a way to be creative and bring people together, whether that's around a wedding table or sharing a slice over coffee.

I'm inspired by seasonal ingredients, nostalgic puddings, colour and the ideas people bring me. I love taking a familiar flavour and doing something a little unexpected with it, making cakes that feel personal and generous, with as much care going into the taste as the decoration.

Baking runs in my family. My grandad owned a bakery business in Ireland, and I grew up surrounded by baking, laying the foundations for my own career in food.

I've worked for Benoit Blin at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, run SILVIE bakery café in East Oxford and managed the Missing Bean bakery. Those experiences have shaped how I bake today, bringing together pastry skills, the warmth of a neighbourhood bakery and the creativity of making something personal for each customer.

I make cakes and dessert tables for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers and gatherings of all sizes across Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. From a small family celebration to a wedding feast, each order is made to suit the occasion.

I work directly with couples, families and individuals, as well as wedding planners, venues and businesses looking for cakes and sweet things for their events. Whether you have a clear idea or need a little guidance, I'm happy to help with flavours, portions and design.

SILVIE is fully insured and holds a 5-star food hygiene rating, so you can feel confident that your cakes and desserts are prepared with care and to high standards of food safety and cleanliness.
