About Ivy Cottage

Ivy Cottage started with weekend bakes for the family and grew into something lovelier: afternoon teas served on vintage china we've collected piece by piece, delivered to tables across the village and hired out for parties.

 

Everything is baked in our little cottage in St Margaret's, named after my Nan Ivy, who I absolutely adored.

The cake shed is our newest chapter. When a friend pointed out that St Mags didn't have one, we built ours on Kingsdown Road, and people were queuing on opening day before the ribbon was cut. Between the shed, the teas and cakes made for your big days, there's a bake here for every kind of moment.

There's always time for cake

Absolutely love Karen's cake shed and love what's inside even more, oh my goodness the coffee and walnut cake mmm
