About Me
Hello, I'm Yue, the cake designer and the founder of Lil Moon Bakery.
​
For me, Lil Moon Bakery is more than a cake shop - I love to push the boundaries of the edible art, combining the delicate and unique flavours with modern cake artistry.
​
Over the years, I honed my crafts and skills through hours of self study and learning from the best designers and patissiers in the industry, including Lima Cakes and Marina Machado.
​
Since its establishment in 2020 lockdown summer, Lil Moon Bakery has proudly served over 500 hundred cakes beautiful people across London.
Inspired by nature,
led by flavours ...
​
Nature inspires my work, from colourful seasonal flowers to stylish architectural details, the combination for cake designs are endless.
I am also proud that flavours are the big focus at Lil Moon Bakery. Lacking of flavour is soulless no matter how beautiful the cake is. I specialise in combining delicate oriental flavours and techniques into my beautiful designs, which often results in lighter and less sweet cakes - luxurious flavours with honest ingredients.
What I stand for...​
My personal and business ethos and value revolve around equality and sustainability.
​
With a masters degree in sustainability, I am always conscious about decisions throughout running the business, from ingredient sourcing to delivery carbon footprint. Becoming a sustainable business is a long journey, and there's no quick fix. But I believe small changes over time could bring profound results and make the world we live in a better place.
​
I am also a proud partner with 'Free Cakes for Kids' and support their mission of making every child feel special on their birthday, regardless of their circumstances. Together, we can make a positive impact on our community and help to create a brighter future for all.
