Meet Silvia, the baker behind Cake Blossoms

Hi, I’m Silvia, the pastry chef and cake designer behind Cake Blossoms in Tunbridge Wells.

I’ve spent more than 15 years working with cakes and pastry, but what I love most has always been creating something that brings together beautiful design and incredible flavour. Cake Blossoms is where I get to do exactly that, creating bespoke cakes that feel personal, artistic and made especially for the people celebrating.

From Sardinia to Tunbridge Wells

I grew up in Sardinia, where good food, beautiful ingredients and sharing them with the people you love are simply part of life.

Creativity has always been a big part of who I am. Before giving myself fully to baking, I graduated in History of Art, and I think that background still influences the way I approach my cakes today. I love thinking about colour, composition, texture and the little details that bring a design together.

Baking eventually became my career, taking me from professional kitchens and food product development to running my own bakery in London for several years.

After moving to Tunbridge Wells, I found myself drawn back to the part of baking I loved most: creating beautiful cakes by hand and being part of people’s celebrations.

Cake Blossoms became my second baking business and a chance to bring together everything I had learned over the years with a more creative and personal approach.

Bake Off: The Professionals

In 2026, I had the incredible opportunity to compete on Channel 4’s Bake Off: The Professionals, representing The Beacon..

It was an intense experience, but also a very special chapter in my career and one that challenged me creatively and pushed my pastry skills even further.

More than just a beautiful cake

I want my cakes to make you stop and look at them, but I also want you to remember how they tasted.

Everything is made from scratch, from curds and compotes to pralines and buttercreams, using carefully chosen ingredients and local produce wherever possible.

I love working with buttercream, flowers, texture and colour, creating cakes that can be romantic and vintage, modern and artistic or beautifully rustic.

Most importantly, no two cakes need to be the same. I want yours to feel like your cake.

Shall we create something beautiful?

Whether you’re planning your wedding or celebrating something special, I’d love to hear what you have in mind.
