Meet Kate

The hands behind Sugar ’n Ice.

Before Sugar ’n Ice became a much-loved name in celebration cakes, it began with Kate de Waal selling her baking at the Rosebank Flea Market.

Her first wedding-cake order led to Oakfield Farm, then an invitation to their wedding expo—and the beginning of a business that has now been part of countless celebrations for nearly three decades.

Trained at Silwood School of Cookery, Kate still works personally with every client. Her approach is thoughtful, practical and detail-led: creating cakes that look beautiful, taste exceptional and feel completely right for the moment they are made for.
