/ Delivery
Since 2008 Laura has been freshly baking gorgeous cakes & desserts from her 5* food hygiene rated kitchen in Clapham Junction SW11. Laura has worked at some of London's most prestigious restaurants. Supplied the London Olympics, Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason, Whole Foods Market & Harvey Nichols with her products and has extensive expertise and skills ensuring each and every order is made with love using the finest ingredients.
Laura enjoys making bespoke custom cakes for special occasions and offers handmade decorations for the more personal touch. Or can also buy in inedible decorations if wanting to keep costs down. Cake toppers & sugar flowers are a labour of love, taking hours to create by hand, this means bespoke cakes are costed individually depending on how much labour, detail & skill is required. You can see many examples of bespoke cakes here.
Laura prides herself on offering a very personal, bespoke service to her customers and this in turn keeps her very busy. If she doesn't get straight back to you, please give her a couple days as she will probably be baking until all hours and replies to her emails in batches like her baking... Alternatively feel free to chase her on her mobile: 07973282566.
Collection from the bakery in Clapham Junction is always preferred if possible. Orders are available to collect Monday afternoon to Saturday morning weekly, please give as much notice as possible to avoid any disappointment. Please give a minimum of two weeks notice as this is a one-woman show! Deliveries are also possible via courier service at additional cost.

About The Dessert Deli
Laura Amos - Chef & Owner
The Dessert Deli was created by Laura Amos back in 2008, from a crazy idea she had in the midst of a recession. Not one to be put off by gruelling hard work, she had the determination to succeed and worked solidly, single handedly creating a well established brand known for quality, tasting 'Absolutely Amazing' and fantastic customer service, always going out of her way for her customers which has in turn lead to her success and loyal custom over all these years.
The Dessert Deli’s ethos of using the very best ingredients, plenty of them and lovingly hand making everything has led to her products being stocked in premium food halls over the years, including Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Whole Foods Market and Fortnum & Mason.

As well as working with an array of fantastic corporate clients & local businesses.
