Crafting copy for Cake Today's website transformation!

When the team at Cakes Today asked me to whip up some copy as part of their website transformation, I was delighted to go back to my cake roots! It was my job to put together the most craveable copy to showcase their different cake categories as well as build the brand identity and tone of voice through the 'About us'. I wrote about 7 pages for the total project, so I'm only giving you a slice of my favourite content. 

About Us 

Cakes Today is a traditional, family-run bakery, ready to serve you the freshest and most delicious cakes for all occasions!

Beginning our baking journey in 2011 in Wembley, we now pride ourselves on being the go-to for same-day cake deliveries. While we’re still young, our family have been passionately baking behind the scenes for generations. We learnt from the best - our great grandfather taught us all we needed to know about quality, craftsmanship and most importantly, bringing smiles to the faces of all our customers.

With a skilled selection of bakers and decorators on hand, you can be sure that your order is made with only you in mind. Working as a close team, we use perfected recipes, mixed with new tips and tricks, to deliver slices of high quality, hand-baked indulgence.

Get personal with cakes for all occasions! Whether it’s an upcoming birthday, wedding, anniversary, or you just fancy giving the gift of cake, we’ve got you covered. Pick your cake shape and size, icing and ribbon colour and top off any design with your very own message, which we’ll lovingly hand pipe.

If you’ve got something extra special in mind, drop us a line and we’ll make your ideas come to life… and taste great too!
