Product Information

Celebrities from across the world clamour to have the team create the perfect patisserie centrepiece but the honour of an illustrious royal wedding has so far eluded the team. Intends to celebrate all things chocolate and cake from a team that have dedicated their lives to being joy-makers and cake-bakers. Fans including Whoopi Goldberg, Wesley Snipes, Jackie Collins, Boy George, Tinie Tempah and many more.

We make a lot of Christmas cakes, a lot of them have 3D elements to them so we do Owls and Polar Bears and Squirrels which look really cute on eight inch cakes, and they make a really good centre piece for your Christmas table. When the TV show is edited, we watch the shows and make sure that everything is good and that they haven’t shown anybody in a bad light or anything that can be construed in a bad light.Choccywoccydoodah was founded in 1994 by Christine Taylor and Christine Garratt and featured in a TV documentary show. It has to follow a season of busy cake period, so we’re on our seventh season and it’s following the end of summer straight through to Christmas. The whole concept of [name] came about when the two business partners Christine and Christine were living in London. The design of the book itself is quirky and unlike a traditional recipe books, it feels more handmade and special, just like their creations.

Sam Bain-Mollison, Head of Retail at Shaftesbury, added: “Choccywoccydoodah provides a retail experience to include a larger café and build upon their previous success, creating a London flagship in the heart of the West End. We’ve done stuff for Kyle Minogue, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Tim Burton film, Rihanna, The McFly boys we did Harry and Danny’s wedding cakes. So he's probably not going to enjoy reading this intro because a gazillion exclamation marks are definitely required to convey to you just how much I love the girls I'm interviewing today (!The cakes and what the sculptors have been able to do with chocolate has developed over the years and the Christines developed the way to sculpt the chocolate the way that we do it and that’s our closely guarded secret that nobody knows. For the past two seasons we’ve done cakes just for celebrities but this series we decided we would step away from that and go for real stories, and real cakes for real events.

The recipes themselves all look wonderfully enticing, and range in complexity from the ridiculously easy 'Banana Split' to the much more intimidating 'Choccy Chestnut Roulade'. Then there’s Mike who’s just finished a three year apprenticeship with us, he’s an incredible sculptor as well. There are still so many more cakes than you can imagine being made in one day, but Christmas is full steam ahead.The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.

I’ve just now read this post about the business going into liquidation, it’s so sad but also predictable.Walking through a gate to be greeted by dozens of gorgeous sculptures-sorry, cakes-, a tiny shed with garden tools, and plush chairs. I hope that people think that when they come in here, because it is an adventure and it should be magical and I hope it is.
