If you have ever had the absolute pleasure of eating a cake from Heart of Cake, you will know that Lizzie is not just a baker but a full-blown cake magician.
This Stoke Newington-based micro-bakery has been a favourite of mine for years and with good reason. The cakes are world class.

Lizzie has been running Heart of Cake solo since 2016, and let me tell you, she is an artist. We are talking multi-tiered wedding cakes, vintage-inspired birthday bakes, and edible pet portraits. Everything is made to order, meaning each cake is a one-of-a-kind creation tailored to the person lucky enough to be eating it.
And Lizzie even creates bespoke treats for brand launches and photoshoots, so fat-walleted PR and marketing people please take note.
But it is not just about incredible cakes.
Heart of Cake is and always will be 100 percent vegan for the animals. That is the heart of everything Lizzie does. It is also an eco-friendly business through and through, with nothing going to waste. Leftovers are either eaten or composted and all packaging is recyclable.
Every single bake is made from scratch using high-quality ingredients. This is not mass-produced supermarket cake. This is the kind of cake that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate the skill and care that has gone into it.
Because Heart of Cake is a one-woman operation, orders are limited. If you want one of Lizzie’s masterpieces for a special occasion, get in touch as early as possible. And remember, this is a residential kitchen, not a shop front, so no unannounced visits unless you fancy standing outside staring longingly at a door that will not open for you.
Heart of Cake is a true gem in the London vegan scene. If you have not had the joy of trying one of Lizzie’s bakes yet, consider this your sign to change that immediately.
Visit the Heart of Cake website for FAQs and further ordering information. Haven’t got a special occasion coming up? Invent one! These cakes are worthy of the effort involved in faking a celebration.
