Testimonials

Hello! Thank you for visiting The my website; I am Poppy, founder of The hazlebury kitchen. Here is a little bit about me and my world.

I grew up in Suffolk on a farm where life outdoors foraging, home brewing and rearing sheep became second nature. I started experimenting with cakes as a little child with my Granny Betty using home-grown and picked ingredients. My love for baking along with my love for nature inspired me to start The Hazlebury Kitchen, I am very proud that I have managed to create a thriving bespoke home wedding cake business where my taste for flavour, eye for design and personal service are upheld in equal measure.

I love using seasonal and where possible home-grown ingredients and take pride in exclusively using home-grown eggs from my mother-in-law’s free range chickens. Look out for home-grown raspberries, blackberries, red currents, apples, elderflower cordial and edible flowers- all grown in suffolk!

At The Hazlebury Kitchen, I create beautiful ‘eco’ wedding cakes that not only look stunning, but taste totally scrumptious. Each wedding cake is truly bespoke; the bride and groom can fine tune their ideas and visions, and together we can design a beautifully natural and unique wedding cake by chosing as many flavours as there are tiers and the couples choice of fresh flower, berries and decorations.

I take my responsibility for looking after Planet Earth very seriously. I run The Hazlebury Kitchen with as little impact to the environment as possible; by using homegrown eggs, berries and cordials, locally milled flour and British butter, I ensure top quality and low food-miles. Cake by cake, I am striving for as little waste as possible by opting for a ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ approach and only use recyclable or reusable packaging. Vegan and Gluten Free Flavours are also available.

MY Eco ETHOS

I am striving to be an eco-baker and I try to ensure my cakes have as little detrimental impact to the planet as possible. These are my promises to the planet:

Always source raw materials with as little packaging as possible, and always recyclable
Source raw materials from the UK, where possible
The only animal produce I ever use are British butter, home-grown eggs and organic British milk (from the milkman)
Use home-grown and homemade products where possible
Strive for low landfill and if not, recycle
Always use 100% natural and refillable cleaning products
My own packaging is all recyclable, compostable and all boxes reusable.
offer a ‘£5 off your next order’ if you return your box to be reused.
i use reusable baking equipment including piping bags, cake tin liners. My cake dowels are either biodegradable straws or wooden.
for my postal treats, my packaging is all biodegradable, reusable or recyclable. I have spent time and money in ensuring I am minimising waste in this regard.
