Luminary Bakery

Bought 3 lovely clebration cakes from Luminary after trying their wedding taster cup cakes. After trying out a couple of supplier these were my favourites. I went for the Carrot Cake, Chocolate and Hazelnut and Salted Caramel. They were all delicious - moist and really tasty! My only slight complaint was their serving size suggestions. They said 14-20 people per cake for the size I ordered, so I got 3 birthday cakes for a party of around 75 people and was worried it wouldn't be enough... I needn't have worried at all! One cake did the entire party!!! So If you just want to give people a small taster slice for a party/wedding or an event, you won't need 3 cakes for 70 people!

I recently photographed Michael + Maud's wedding, and they chose Luminary Bakery for their cake. It looked and tasted amazing! Would highly recommend, Joshua Humphrey Photography

We bought our wedding cake from Luminary. They were so thoughtful and communicative throughout the preparation process. We went for orange, cardamom and pistachio which was delicious - lots of guest compliments! They iced it beautifully and left it plain so we could add our own flowers. Thank you Luminary!

Not much offering when I went as it was quite late, but I had the caramel brownie and it was SO good, texture, flavour, everything. I would definately take the opportunity to come back earlier and try more things.

A wonderful experience! We ordered a two-tier cake for our wedding - Victoria sponge on the bottom and lemon/blueberry on top - and it was absolutely delicious. Our guests couldn’t get enough of it (and neither could we!); the flavour was incredibly moreish and the texture delightful. The team at Luminary were wonderful from start to finish, incredibly helpful throughout the process, and ensured the cake arrived at our venue on time and in perfect condition. We also loved supporting a social enterprise doing meaningful work in the community. Thank you so much for making our day even more special Highly recommend!

We ordered a selection of Luminary Bakery’s mini cakes for our wedding reception. Christy was super helpful during the ordering process, and the cakes were delivered to the venue on the day on time. Our guests really enjoyed the cakes - not a single one was left! There were also a selection of flavours for different dietary requirements (gluten free, vegan etc), which was really helpful and meant there was something for everyone. It was also great to know that a portion of our wedding budget was going towards a social enterprise and a worthy cause, so would thoroughly looking into Luminary Bakery as your wedding cake supplie!

The most gorgeous wedding cake for us - everyone ate it all it went down a storm 👏 absolute pleasure to deal with you thanks for all your help, excellent communication, skill and deliciousness! 🙌 ❤️

We couldn't be happier with our cake from Luminary. We ordered a 10" lemon and blueberry cake for our wedding last month. The service and correspondence with the team was efficient, friendly and not overly complicated from start to finish. We tried a few other tastings and as with most wedding cakes, they were a little dry or too dense. But the cake from Luminary was without fault. Our guests commented on how delicious it was. It was light and fluffy and the icing was amazing! We opted for the seasonal foilage which was a great fit with simplicity of our theme. It all disappeared apart from the slice we saved ourselves for our 1st anniversary next year which we can't wait to have. Thank you so much for a great experience and our cake which left a lasting memory!! We will be visiting the bakery again soon!

There is a reason the Duchess of Sussex (Meghan) supports Luminary Bakery. Behind the scenes of this Hackney bakery you will find women from low income communities learning a craft. While the bakers and trainees provide baked goods to cafes throughout London, they also have this café (and one other, in Camden, I believe) for sampling cakes, croissants, coffee and other delectable foods. I tried the coffee and croissants (delicious!) and plan to order a cake for my mother in Cambridge when I'm there next week. Am giving five stars for delicious, quality products, friendly people - and for the good cause it's supporting. Yay, Luminary!
