“ Cynthia has very kindly provided Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice with cakes from ‘Delights by Cynthia’ for events that we are holding. Most recently she provided us with some Valentine’s cupcakes for our Valentines event. They looked fantastic, went very quickly and we had great feedback on how nice they were– unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough to get one myself! Thank you Cynthia for your continued support and we look forward to asking you to help with our next event (and hopefully I’ll get to taste on this time!) ”

Children’s Cakes

“Dear Cynthia, Thank you so much for the fantastic Spiderman cake for Justin. You should have seen his face when I took it in to his class, where it was the focus of mass admiration! The combination of the image and his name and age really made it so much more special. It was beautifully co-ordinated with red icing and on a cake tray, which set it off really well. It was easy to cut for all the members of the class, gorgeous and moist with two layers of jam and buttercream. He loved every bit of it and made him feel really special. Will be back for Amy's cake in February!”

–Dawn Hobson

–Charlene Dixon

“My son was having a pirate party for his 5th birthday. I’d organised the venue, the decorations, the treasure hunt, but had forgotten about the cake. A quick email to Delights by Cynthia resulted in a number of ideas for cakes to fit in with the theme. A few days later and my son had a skull and crossbones cake, with pirates and treasure thrown in to boot. My son loved his cake. I’ve used Delights by Cynthia for other occasions and will recommend her to anyone looking for unique and creative cakes.”

– Diane Grant

“You should have seen the faces of the five year olds at my daughter’s party when her magnificent pink and white cake with fluff and sparkle appeared! And it tasted good too.”
