Tânia Lima, Gourmet Cake maker at Cakes Designs 3NL
Hello, Gourmet Lovers!

I’m Tânia Lima, and I’m thrilled to welcome you

Here, we create beautiful, tall cakes that are as delightful to the eyes as they are to the taste buds. It’s truly amazing to transform simple, quality ingredients into something so beautiful and delicious.

Our Journey

Cakes that make you crave more

My husband and I started this business with one mission: to bring unique and irresistible cakes to your table. We believe in cakes that make you crave for more, even when there is none left. Our love for travel has led us to draw inspiration from the rich flavours of our heritage, which you will not find anywhere else in England. Though I am grateful for the chance to explore this beautiful country, I cannot help but miss the two wonderful places that shaped me.

Traveling is not just about seeing new places, it is about creating connections and experiencing the world in new ways. We encourage everyone to travel and make memories that last a lifetime.

Our vision and our mission

Our Vision

We are shaping Cakes Designs 3NL to be the destination where Gourmet Lovers shop with confidence, knowing they are receiving the finest quality for the right value.

Our goal is to set ourselves apart from others who simply sell cakes because they can. We make our cakes and other bakes with a simple belief: all desserts should be savoured and enjoyed, rivalling or even surpassing the main course.

We aspire to make cakes so exceptional that people will savour every bit of them, and order them simply because they want to enjoy them, outside special dates. Especially our cherished and beloved Grandma Cakes selection: cakes that need no presentation, as natural as they can be, as similar as possible to what all Grandmas used to make, from one corner of the globe to the other.

It is a source of pride to see our vision take form when Gourmet Lovers share that our cakes are the best they have ever had, and they cannot seem to get enough. We envision a future where Cakes Designs 3NL becomes the benchmark for exceptional cakes and desserts.

Our Mission

Our mission remains to deliver top-tier quality at a fair price, ensuring everyone can experience the best.
