Luscious Cakes by Lesley:
A Passion for Perfection
Explore the story behind the delectable creations and the dedication that fuels every cake I bake.
A big hello from me, Lesley Drayton
Hi, Lesley Drayton here, based in the charming village of Horrabridge, Devon. I embarked on my baking adventure with Luscious Cakes by Lesley in 2019. Driven by a lifelong dream, I turned my passion into a thriving business, crafting exquisite cakes from my home kitchen.
Balancing a part-time role at Tesco, I’ve built my brand with dedication and support from the community. I am commited to quality and safety which is evident in the 5-star food rating and completion of essential food hygiene courses.
Despite challenges during the pandemic, I’ve continued to spread joy through baking, offering smaller cakes for intimate gatherings and volunteering for local initiatives.
Like any business my skills have expanded to include handmade sugar paste flowers, and offering a wide range of products, catering to various dietary needs. With competitive pricing and personalised service, I like to ensure every cake is a unique masterpiece.
