Working with customers across Perth, Auchterarder, Crieff, and Gleneagles.

People come to Cakes by Kirsten when they’re looking for something personal for an important celebration. Whether it’s a birthday, milestone, or special gathering, I create custom cakes and cupcakes that are designed with care, baked fresh to order, and made to feel just right for the occasion.

Hi, I'm Kirsten

I’m Kirsten, a cake designer based in Perthshire, creating custom birthday cakes and celebration cupcakes for people marking important moments. I work closely with each customer to design something that feels personal, tastes just as good as it looks, and fits the occasion perfectly.

Why I do What I Do

Baking has always been something I’ve loved, but Cakes by Kirsten was born from wanting to offer something more personal than generic, off-the-shelf cakes. I wanted to create designs that feel thoughtful, considered, and truly made for the person being celebrated — not just something that looks nice in a display.

What You Can Expect When You Order from Cakes by Kirsten

I focus on quality over quantity. Every cake and cupcake is designed and baked to order, with time taken to get the details right — from flavour and finish to how the final design comes together.

I work with a limited number of bookings so each order receives my full attention. That means clear communication, realistic timelines, and a calm, organised process from enquiry through to collection or delivery.

Just as importantly, taste matters to me. Cakes are baked fresh using quality ingredients, so they don’t just look good — they’re made to be enjoyed and shared.

Why People Choose Cakes by Kirsten

Over the years, I’ve created celebration cakes and cupcakes for families, venues, and events across Perthshire. Many of my bookings come from repeat customers or recommendations, which means a great deal to me and reflects the care that goes into every order.

The cake was beautiful, mum absolutely loved it

I'm delighted I found Kirsten to make my mums 80th birthday cake, she is so personable and a master at her craft. The cake was beautiful, mum absolutely loved it, and it tasted as devine as it looked.

The cake was stunning & absolutely delicious.

The pictures on her website are fantastic but seeing the cake makes you appreciate the work that has gone into creating it, you almost don't want to cut it!

A Little More About Me

Outside of baking, I love the quieter parts of the process just as much as the creative ones — sketching ideas, refining details, and seeing everything come together for a celebration. I enjoy working closely with customers, especially when they’re not quite sure what they want yet and just need a bit of guidance.

I’m drawn to simple, thoughtful designs and flavours that people genuinely enjoy sharing. For me, it’s always about creating something that feels right for the occasion — not overdone, not rushed, just carefully made.
