Marnie Searchwell Cakes

Delicious cakes, luscious preserves ...

 

I bake everything myself, to order, in my own kitchen. I make preserves in small batches, using seasonal fruit and vegetables, organic and locally grown if possible. I use only the finest ingredients, organic wherever possible, in my cakes; like the dark organic chocolate and Fairtrade cocoa in my brownies and chocolate cakes, and organic, unrefined cane sugar.

For my rich fruit cakes, I use Lübecker organic marzipan. It's lightly sweetened, made with 52% organic almonds. That's a higher almond to sugar ratio than any other marzipan you can buy – simply the best marzipan in the world.

I don’t use artificial additives or flavours; just good, wholesome ingredients. So I hope you’ll try one of my cakes and taste the difference for yourself!

And I can cater for most food allergies: if you have any other dietary requirements, do let me know.


Orange & Almond Cakes – deliciously glutenfree and dairyfree

How it all started ...

I grew up in Jamaica, and came to London to study art. With my BA in Graphic Design from London College of Printing, I worked in publishing for 20 years, as a book & magazine designer.

I took a break when my second son was born, and what started as something to do while I was at home with him turned into this little micro-business.

For years, my husband had struggled with so-called 'IBS'. A friend suggested he should try cutting wheat and gluten out of his diet – and his symptoms improved dramatically.

Since then, I’ve worked hard on ways of creating delicious cakes we can all enjoy. I’ve developed my own special blend of gluten-free flours, and I’m very happy with it.

All my cakes are made with wheat-free, gluten-free ingredients. They have a fine texture and are light and delicate in the mouth; in fact, I think they taste a whole lot better than cakes made with wheat.
