Staying on a cake tip, L’Oven Cake is a fantastic business that makes customized birthday, wedding and celebration cakes. Alongside cakes shaped like handbags, shoes, flowers and cartoon characters, they make beautiful towers of cupcakes in classic or kitsch designs. Prices are in keeping with other bakeries and the owners couldn’t be more friendly or helpful. For aspiring Nigellas and Delias, L’Oven Cakes also stock cake decorations, ready-made icing, brushes, cake tins and everything you need to decorate or display cakes. If only I had a big birthday coming up…

I really am loving L’oven Cake, located on Smithdown Road, it makes cake making and decorating into a prestigious art. The utensils on sale include paintbrushes and moulds for all sorts of iced creations from butterflies to children’s cartoon elephants, whatever cake you have in mind you will be able to find it here. Every shade of food colouring is here, a rainbow assortment of mini pots and ribbons all at decent prices. The cakes on display are magnificent. A cake which was covered entirely in iced roses and butterflies was so intricate that they looked real! Whether you want a tower of cupcakes iced to perfection or your very own celebratory cake topped with Ganesh the God of success as icing, it’s in the window. So much work goes into these pieces of culinery art that it’s worth every penny and if you want to see how it’s done for yourself the Liverpool Sugarcraft Club meet to demonstrate and there’s usually a sign in their window to let you know when the next one is occurring!
