In 2011 I set up the <a href=\"https:\/\/littlebearcakery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Little Bear Cakery<\/a> to follow my passion for cakes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-95983\" alt=\"Danni naked cake 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/Danni-naked-cake-600px.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/Danni-naked-cake-600px.jpg 600w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/Danni-naked-cake-600px-150x152.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/Danni-naked-cake-600px-300x304.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1 dir=\"ltr\"><\/h1>\n<h1>What do you love\/dislike about your job?<\/h1>\n<p>I love the creativity it entails.

I started making cakes for friends and family and set up a blog littlebearcakery.blogspot.co.uk to record my progress. After a lot of hard work and practice, I was finally ready to set up my own cake business.  As I broadened and developed my skills I naturally progressed into wedding cakes, where my passion now lies.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-95985\" alt=\"Fiona 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/Fiona-600px.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/Fiona-600px.jpg 600w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/Fiona-600px-150x224.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/Fiona-600px-300x448.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h1 dir=\"ltr\">What do you aim to achieve for your clients?<\/h1>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">My aim is to create my clients\u2019 dream cake for their special day. Whether they know exactly what they want or if they haven\u2019t a clue where to start, I ensure I am there every step of the way to listen to their ideas and advise accordingly to come up with the perfect bespoke cake. My cakes will always fit perfectly into the client\u2019s scheme \u2013 I take inspiration from themes, d\u00e9cor, the dress, invitations \u2013 anything that will ensure that the finished product is a perfect match.<\/p>\n<p>I also find Pinterest a great tool to give my brides some inspiration. I have compiled a few helpful wedding related boards here (http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/clarelbcakery\/)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-95986\" alt=\"lace brush embroidery\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/lace-brush-embroidery.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/lace-brush-embroidery.jpg 600w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/lace-brush-embroidery-150x110.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/11\/lace-brush-embroidery-300x221.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1 dir=\"ltr\">What style is your work?<\/h1>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I take a lot of my inspiration from flowers and love creating beautifully intricate and lifelike sugar flowers.
