About Us

Butterflies & Angels was founded almost a decade ago by trained chocolatier and cake designer Abbie James. With a background in design and a love of food (especially chocolate!) Abbie gave up her 'day job' to focus on creating beautiful cakes and chocolate creations. Abbie's better half, Darren finally succumbed to the lure of chocolate and joined the business on a full time basis two years ago in an attempt to try and keep up with demand! Since then Butterflies & Angels has had resounding success, with their highly individual creations appearing on both TV and in high quality magazines, including OK!. Their combination of passion and talent and a never-ending quest for perfection have resulted in Abbie and Darren's award-winning designs being highly sought after by both private and celebrity clients. Their chocolate creations have won them particular acclaim with their combination of show-stopping design and unrivalled taste (ask anyone who's eaten Butterflies & Angels chocolate mud cake and they'll tell you it's the best chocolate cake in the world!!). Abbie & Darren also works with some of the area's leading wedding planners, florists, designers and venues.

"We specialise in creating cakes that are centre-pieces for the celebration. Whether it's a family birthday or a grand society wedding, your cake should still be the most beautiful thing in the world. That's why, no matter whether its a single tier cake or a huge tower of individual desserts, it will always receive our upmost attention to detail. We take into consideration every wish when creating our cakes, the theme of the celebration, the style of the venue, the client's favourite colour, the fact that the mother of the bride loves lemon drizzle cake; in fact, every whim and desire is noted to enable us to design a cake that is something to both admire and devour! The same goes for our handmade chocolates and wedding favours - we listen to what our clients want then we create something to suit. Some of our best selling chocolates and favours have stemmed from an original idea by our clients!!

We just love creating, we can't stop creating... - an enormous amount of passion, dedication and attention goes into every single one of our creations and we want our clients to be as proud of them as we are."
