Food and Drink Awards 2023

42 | LUXlife Magazine Purpose Driven Caterers of the Year 2023 - UK Working with both private and corporate clients, Cakery Wonderland is a purpose-driven speciality catering company that is committed to creating delicious dishes and memorable culinary experiences that not only taste good but also do good. Here, we explore its broad array of offerings as well as its overarching purpose. Based primarily in London, Cakery Wonderland offers a range of dedicated, bespoke services, catering to a variety of events and occasions. For example, it has worked with over 100 private clients to deliver at-home dining services, helping them to create truly memorable and unique experiences. From informal family gatherings to formal seven course tasting menus with wine, the company’s highly skilled and dedicated at-home team will make sure that the client’s event is perfect down to the smallest of details. Moreover, Cakery Wonderland creates outstanding afternoon tea events, including award-winning Alice in Wonderland feasts, Christmas-themed gatherings with dessert bauble Christmas trees, kids’ marvel comics afternoon teas, and royal garden parties. Having served more than 6,000 guests, the company is well-equipped to deliver excellence. Cakery Wonderland’s offerings also include dessert experiences and live food cooking stations. The company has planned more than 20 street food and dessert experiences for every type of event, including the creation of an impressive 30-metre dessert table with a 10-metre train track, upon which trains filled with desserts drove by. Alongside a range of other occasions, Cakery Wonderland offers catering services for wakes and celebration of life events, working with families and funeral directors. To date, the company has organised over 200 events and is well-equipped to take the stress away from the client, enabling them to spend more time with their family in such a difficult time. These services are all delivered by Cakery Wonderland’s diverse team of chefs, cake artists, set designers, waiters, and bar staff, as well as a skilled food historian. Their expertise enables the company to guarantee that every client’s experience will be second to none. Proud to do things differently, Cakery Wonderland offers a unique service, including a sweet treat custom made for the event. Since its establishment in 2022, Cakery Wonderland has achieved significant success, building a loyal client base who do not hesitate to recommend it to others. However, the company is proud to be driven by purpose, not profits or shareholders. It was created to help drive the local economy forward by supporting innovative young entrepreneurs. To achieve this, Cakery Wonderland puts 10% of its revenue into a fund dedicated to supporting disadvantaged young people, empowering them to bring their ambitious food-related business ideas to life. The company not only provides them with funding through Freshly Baked Grants but also space in its production facility, mentorship, supply chain access, use of its digital real estate, and seasoned know-how. With this support, their businesses will go on to help create a future where nobody goes hungry. On top of this, Cakery Wonderland is proud to share its revenue with charities, schools, churches, community centres, and hard-working families, aiming to help address the problems of food poverty and inequality. It also donates 5% of its revenue to food charities that teach children more about where their food comes from and equip them with useful baking skills. Thus far, Cakery Wonderland’s founders have started three new purpose-driven food businesses and supported charities by providing them with over six tonnes of food. It has also donated generously to their various causes, food awareness initiatives, and baking programmes. As a result of its admirable work, Cakery Wonderland has been named Purpose Driven Caterers of the Year, UK, in the Food and Drink Awards 2023. Having just launched a new location in Birmingham, the company will soon be expanding further with an additional location in Manchester. Beyond this, in the coming year, Cakery Wonderland plans to enter the wedding market, offering a bespoke team that will work with the bride and groom to create their perfect big day.
