Meet Daisy — Bespoke Cake Designer in London
As a child, I loved cake and spent a lot of my school holidays making
and selling little cakes and lemonade with my mother and grandmother
on her front door step to neighbours and passers by.
I studied Art and Photography for GCSE and A level, and this is where
my creative flair really began. Always being the slightly quirky artist I
was never the still life kind of person, or the academic type and always
tried to push the boundaries (and break rules!) carving totem poles,
and modelling strange sculptures. After leaving school I decided to go
down the acting route instead, and spent 10 years treading the boards
studying and performing both in London and New York.
Through a personal tragedy in 2011 I found comfort in baking while
suffering a bout of depression. Whilst filming a TV series, a real love
started to blossom. Sleep was a mystery. I filmed during the day and
baked at night; this became great therapy. I was asked to make cakes
for family and friends, and things took off from there, quickly becoming
the go-to person for bespoke cakes. My passion quickly grew and by
the end of 2012 Daisy Brydon Creations was born.
I get my inspiration from everywhere; from art and fashion to furniture and architecture, to kids tv shows. I am often heard saying 'that would make a great cake'!
Based in Chiswick, I deliver all over the country.
