Luminary Bakery

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

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.

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!

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!

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 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!

Even with an email mishap (technology sometimes 🤷‍♀️) and a particular busy week for them, the team at Luminary Bakery were able to fulfill our order - - amazing work! The cookies were a hit with the team with one of our bosses saying it was the best 🍪 he has ever eaten! And well done for the fabulous social work you do - thank you 🤍

Quite a lot of the food on the menu was unavailable. Our prosciutto, ricotta and fig jam focaccia sandwich had been premade and wrapped in clingfilm which made the bread soggy. The sandwich was so cold that the flavour of the prosciutto and ricotta was completely lost. The cake was dry. Given it is a social enterprise we expected it to have a community feel but the service wasn't great. Unfortunately I wouldn't come here again.

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!
