About John

Hi! I'm John and I've been baking for a few years, building up a strong repertoire of go-to cakes and treats that people have enjoyed quite a lot for birthdays, weddings and all sorts of other occasions. I work full-time, so this is a hobby (at the moment) but I'm getting more and more commissions for bespoke bakes that one day, who knows, I'll be able to do this every day instead! 

I decided to call this lark 'Baker on Board' because of the way I mostly use public transport to make my deliveries, usually on London Underground, prompting people to have a nose at what I was carrying - I've even had a few commissions arise from it, so it pays to 'be on display', I suppose!

My other passion is music and I won a British Composer Award in 2008 for a piece I wrote for chamber orchestra; I conduct bands and other smaller ensembles and you can even find me playing in a few on trombone, saxophone or percussion. For my music website, please visit www.johnhollandmusic.co.uk 

What I do...

Essentially, I can create whatever you need! I'm known for large, personalised birthday cakes and use classic recipes to ensure that every mouthful is perfect. For really big bakes, I can have access to a larger oven than I have at home, but mostly everything I do can be made in my kitchen. I am registered with Southwark Council.

Location

I'm based in Wiltshire, after being in London for more than 15 years, but can deliver to most places (with additional travel costs factored in)! Drop me a line via my Contact page if you would like a quote or want to know anything else...
