About US
Based in Canterbury, Kent, Fairy Dust Bakery was established in 2011 by Melissa Rayner.
Hello! I’m Melissa and I have always loved baking. I set up Fairy Dust Bakery during a career break when my two daughters were little, wanting to create a better work-life balance for the future. Baking cupcake orders for friends and neighbours, I soon began to supply local coffee shops in and run cupcake decorating classes. Birthday cakes and wedding cakes quickly followed and before long, I had turned my hobby into a well established business.
Over the years, Fairy Dust Bakery has featured on all the big wedding blogs, plus various bridal magazines and books. Big highlights include featuring in the Independent and The Telegraph, the TV show Made in Chelsea, and having a cake cut by royalty.
Today, I'm lucky to be able to focus my business on what I really love, designing and creating beautiful wedding cakes.
