Celebrate Country Cake Design

Welcome to Celebrate! Country Cake Design, based in the picturesque market town of Helmsley close to the sweeping moorlands of North Yorkshire. The business was established in 2008 by Rhian Crusher, a professional baker with more than 20 years experience in baking and decorating cakes, and whose inspiration and expertise has led to us getting the accolade of being the leading Wedding Cake maker in the area.

We love to make individual creations that are specifically designed for that special person in your life. If you can think it up we can make it, from five-tier wedding cakes to Buzz Lightyear and Beyond – a cake perfect for a baby’s Christening, a London Wedding or a 99th Birthday party.

My passion lies in cake decorating so, while working for a small craft bakery, I took the opportunity to take a further course studying Advanced Sugarcraft for two years (City and Guilds 790). Around this time I began to enter Bakery and Sugarcraft exhibitions, earning several awards. I was Cardiffs Renshaw cup winner in 1990 and was also a finalist in the British Bakers Baking Industry Awards Student Baker of the Year in 1991.

Bakeries and Sugarcraft companies beckoned after college, where I gained invaluable experience. I then had the amazing opportunity to work for a small family bakery in Munich which proved to be a fantastic experience ( Thank you to Pat Bell from Janets Pantry in Rhiwbina for organizing it!) before returning to Wales to teach Sugarcraft at Neath College in 1993.
