History

Fiona Cairns Ltd began on Fiona’s kitchen table 25 years ago, when Kishore Patel – Fiona’s husband and now managing director of the company – spotted the potential of his wife’s beautifully crafted handmade cakes. In 2001, Kishore joined the company full time and the business moved out of their garden and into a state of the art bakery in Leicestershire, the heart of the English countryside.

Trained as a graphic designer as well as a pastry chef, Fiona is perfectly placed to create gorgeous and delicious cakes. The company prides itself on being creative and – besides providing cakes for seasonal celebrations – ensures its fabulous handmade cakes reflect current trends.

Though Fiona Cairns Ltd now makes 27,000 fairy cakes a week, the same attention to top-quality ingredients and beautiful handmade decorations is taken with each and every one. The proof is in the eating.
