Couture Wedding Cakes by HG1 Cake Couture

Thank you so much for visiting! I am Jo, the designer and artisan baker here at HG1 Cake Couture. Our family business was born out of my passion for baking and design, alongside a desire to create elegant couture wedding cakes and individual celebration cakes that taste just as amazing as they look.

It is such a privilege to play a small part in special family celebrations by providing cakes that are as delicious as they are stylish, each one made from the finest high-quality ingredients at our Harrogate studio. We partner with trusted small business suppliers and use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

Growing up, I was always very creative and baked from a young age with my mum, who is my best friend and mentor. My first job at 14 was in a local bakery in Ripon, where I started honing my baking skills. However, I also had a keen attention to detail, and at 18, I left my passion behind to pursue a successful legal career. During my time as a lawyer, I regularly baked, and as the years passed, the pull to return to my creative roots never subsided. Working alongside my family, I combined my attention to detail—honed over a 24-year career in law—with my passion for baking and creative flair, leading to the birth of HG1 Cake Couture.

I am ever grateful for the wonderful feedback and recommendations from my clients. My aim is to make your experience with HG1 Cake Couture—from your first contact right through to your cake delivery—a stress-free, enjoyable, and fun experience. I will handle every aspect of your couture wedding cake, from design to liaising with your venue, florist, wedding planner, or venue designer.

I hope you enjoy your visit to the HG1 Cake Couture site, and I very much look forward to hearing from you and working with you to turn your cake dream into a reality.

Best wishes,

Jo
