About

Hi pleased to meet you.  I’m Dawn, owner of The Master Cakesmith.  Professionally I’m a classically trained chef who set up The Master Cakesmith after retiring from The Royal Air Force.  I’ve worked all over the world from the muddy fields of combat catering to private dining.  I’ve cooked for numerous British & International dignitaries including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and His Majesty The King.  Personally I’m a lover of coffee, living in the country, long walks with my dog, all things glitter, modern, rustic, industrial, pretty and vintage – yep pretty much everything!

The Master Cakesmith

With a passion for really really good cake I set the company up in 2012.  After lots of hard work, many lessons learned and a huge helping of luck The Master Cakesmith has grown exponentially and has produced hundreds of cakes, dessert tables and wedding favours for people all over the North East and Northumberland.
