About Us

  Butterflies and Angels are Yorkshire's leading bespoke chocolatier and wedding cake designer. We turn your dream not just into a cake, but a work of art. We treat every cake as if it were for our own wedding, ensuring customers don't end up with a choice between a three-tiered white iced fruit cake or more of the same, but in ivory. Instead, we create indulgent chocolate show-stopping centrepieces and grand, crisp buttercream towers with a modern twist on vintage lines.


 

Abbie founded Butterflies and Angels over a decade ago, and had managed to stay out of the limelight. However, now that her cakes have appeared in OK! Magazine the secret is out. Abbie has worked alongside James Martin, appearing on a number of BBC2 programmes, and was described as, "...a chef to be reckoned with" by renowned Observer food critic Jay Rayner. 

 Abbie has turned her passion for chocolate into an opportunity to break new ground in the world of cake design. She has since been joined by Darren who, having learned from Chef Gordon Ramsey whilst working on a number of Channel 4 projects, has an almost scientific feel for chocolate. Now that their new studio has opened, Butterflies and Angels is the place to have your cake and eat it.  

 
 

We invite all our clients to come and see us in the elegant surroundings of our cake boutique and chocolaterie, sample some our award winning creations, and discuss their dream designs for their cake, no matter what the celebration.
