ABOUT LITTLE PEONY CAKES
Hi, I’m Hanna
Founder, baker, detail-obsessor, joyful romantic
I also happen to be a trained chef, buttercream artist (yes, that’s a real thing!), and someone who genuinely delights in the joy and meaning that a wedding day brings.
congratulations!
Firstly,
If you’re reading this it probably means you’re in the midst of planning your wedding. And what an exciting phase that is.
To me, life is all about creating memories. I want your wedding cake to be one of those, remembered for how incredible it looked and tasted, and how it made you feel in that moment.
Being invited to have a role in such a personal moment is something I never take lightly. I see your wedding cake as, not just another decision on a long to-do list, but an expression of who you are. One that becomes part of the beautiful memories created on your day.
Together, we create a cake that reflects your style, your story, and the feeling you want your wedding to hold. One that feels considered, effortlessly elegant, and entirely yours.
How Little Peony came to be
Before becoming a fully-fledged wedding cake designer and baker, I studied fashion and textiles, which is where my love for form, texture, and detail first came about. But something about it didn’t fulfil me, so I decided to pursue my other passion of becoming a chef. That’s when everything finally came together.
My chef training taught me all I needed to know about precision, balance, and a deep respect for ingredients. It’s where I learned that flavour matters just as much as appearance, but that something truly special happens when the two are given equal attention.
I’d always wanted to build something of my own. In 2022, that instinct became Little Peony Cakes. A luxury wedding cake brand where design, flavour, and feeling all come together, to form exceptional results.
How we’ll work together
I want every part of your wedding cake journey to feel relaxed, personal, and genuinely enjoyable – never rushed or overwhelming.
Every stage gives you the space to explore ideas, refine details, and feel completely confident (and excited) about the cake we’re creating together.
As we move towards your day, I take care of the finer points too. From flavours and finishes to the table your cake is presented on, everything is given the care and attention it deserves, so it all feels beautifully aligned and effortless on the day itself.
How your cake comes to life
-
Where it begins
We always start with a conversation. A lovely opportunity to get to know each other and explore your ideas. I take time to listen and understand the look and feel of your day, and we begin imagining what your wedding cake will become. For those who wish, this can be paired with a curated tasting consultation, offering a first experience of the flavours and quality behind Little Peony.
-
Your bespoke taster box
Around three to four months before your wedding, you’ll receive a complimentary bespoke taster box, filled with your favourites. It’s an opportunity to slow down and savour the experience in your own home, sharing flavours with family or friends, revisiting favourites, and confidently choosing the combinations that feel right for your day.
-
The final details
Your final consultation is where everything comes together. With flavours confirmed and a complete sketch in place, we refine the last details and make sure every element feels right for you. From here, I take care of the rest, so you can simply look forward to seeing your cake beautifully in place on your wedding day.
From first conversation to final slice, the process is designed to feel easy, considered, and joyful - leading to a wedding cake that reflects you and belongs completely to your celebration.

The Little Peony Philosophy
Little Peony Cakes are as considered on the inside as they are on the outside. Quality ingredients, classic profiles, luxurious twists, and thoughtful combinations come together to create cakes that are remembered long after the final slice.
But what I create is more than a cake. It’s the quiet excitement of seeing your design take shape.
The reassurance of knowing every detail has been thoughtfully planned.
It’s about creating something that looks beautiful, tastes exceptional, and feels completely right for you.
For me, true beauty isn’t about overdone extravagance.
It’s about understated elegance, intentionally crafted.
about me…
A little more
• I have a soft spot for romance in all its forms. My favourite films and series always involve a love story.
• Friends would tell you I’m the ‘mum’ of the group. The planner of holidays, and the one who’s always thinking three steps ahead.
• Last, but not least, I’m the only wedding cake designer (that I know of) to offer a fully styled cake table experience (testament to my obsession with the finer details).
• I’m happiest surrounded by the people I love, whether that’s a quiet date night or a kitchen full of friends.
• Food is very much my love language (especially when there’s chocolate involved).
• I’m an introverted soul - thoughtful, focused, and known for noticing the details others might miss.
• I’m a huge animal lover and if you hear a little chirping during a consultation, that’ll be Charlie, my cockatiel.
