About Bakerlu
Crafting bespoke cakes, dessert tables and wedding favours for over 14 years. I specialise in tiered cakes with custom designs, figurines, toppers and incredible flavour.
Welcome to Bakerlu - where every cake is handmade with passion, creativity and care in the quaint market town of Bingham in Nottinghamshire.
All of my creations are made from fresh, premium ingredients: free-range eggs, fair-trade chocolate and sugar, fine flour and real butter. Whenever possible I choose sustainably-sourced palm oil and local suppliers to reduce my carbon footprint.
Meet Lu - the heart behind Bakerlu
Hi, I’m Lu, Baking is more than my job - it’s my passion and my way of bringing joy to others.
My journey began with a Bakery Diploma from Leicester College, followed by several years of working in London’s top bakeries, including The Hummingbird Bakery and Konditor. These experiences sharpened my skills and inspired me to dream bigger.
In 2017, I returned to the Midlands and founded Bakerlu - a place where creativity, craftsmanship and heartfelt celebration met. Since then I’ve loved helping people bring their vision to life with custom cakes for their big moments.
When I’m not baking you’ll find me loving every little moment with my daughter, enjoying swimming, singing, dancing, playing, snuggles, gardening and of course baking with her too! We love to explore and go on lots of adventures and I hope one day to travel around Europe and Canada with her (which is what first sparked my bakery quest).
