About

Hi, I’m Ellie Bunston, the founder and owner of Brighton based cake company, Bunston Bakes. Offering bespoke buttercream wedding cakes and custom celebration cakes, my bakes can add an extra special touch to any event.

After using baking as a creative outlet from my 9-5 office job for several years, in 2015 I finally took the plunge to turn cake creation into my career, and hence Bunston Bakes was born.

Originally working from my tiny kitchen in North London, Bunston Bakes quickly outgrew the space I had. In 2016, I made the decision to uproot and move my life and business down to Brighton, and I’ve never looked back! Since the move to Sussex, I’ve been able to enjoy baking in my light and airy kitchen, which overlooks both my garden and the sea – a far cry from my previous cramped quarters in Hackney!

With nature acting as a constant inspiration for my creations, my cake designs are understated and subtly stylish. Every cake has an informal but elegant style, making them perfect for any party or celebration.

I love to use fresh foliage and flowers to add a stunning finishing touch. This provides such an effective way to tie the cake in with the rest of your wedding day, and will make even the simplest of cake designs look effortlessly beautiful.

The flavours I offer are unique and delicious, with each one being a product of extensive trial and development. My personal favourite flavour combination has to be lemon and almond sponge with a mascarpone frosting and lemon curd, but chocolate and salted caramel is a real crowd pleaser.

In my 9 years of being a professional baker, the best part of my job has always been designing and creating wedding cakes. It’s an amazing feeling to be a part of every couple’s big day, and always such an honour to be trusted with creating their dream wedding cake.
