Ace of Cakes is run by Matt Ford who has been making and designing innovative cakes for over 10 years. After completing a three-year catering course at South Cheshire College, Matt developed his skills as a Pastry Chef at Pecks Restaurant in Cheshire before going on to run ‘Rich Desserts’.

Whilst running Rich Desserts, Matt specialised in making desserts for discerning coffee shops and restaurants across Cheshire, including Tatton Hall, Wrenbury Hall and Alveston Hall. Following this success, Matt then decided to specialise in wedding and occasion cakes and set up Ace of Cakes.
