About Us

I created Cakes by Katie Allen in 2014, after a few years of making cakes as a hobby. I had fallen in love with the creativity of decorating cakes and knew I needed to start up a business but had no idea how far it would go!

I left my job as a Marketing Manager in 2016 and went on to work for a couple of cake companies part-time, so that I could keep learning and continue to grow my business.

This move paid off and by 2019 I needed to go full-time with Cakes by Katie Allen to be able to keep up with the orders coming in.

I’m convinced that my love for decorating cakes comes from childhood, where I would make entire tea sets and models out of plasticine.

Each new cake design I work on reminds me how much I love what I do, and how much 8-year-old Katie would not believe I get to do this for a living!
