About

Jane Taylor – Taylor Made Cakes of Tenterden

Jane Taylor

I’m Jane Taylor, the creator of Taylor Made Cakes of Tenterden. I’ve lived in the South East of England all my life, and what began as a simple love for baking and piping flowers from my family’s kitchen grew into a beautiful and unexpected career.

I piped my first cupcake bouquet in 2015, and from that moment, the journey took on a life of its own. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to create hundreds of floral designs, meet incredible people, and share my passion with bakers around the world.

Baking Today
I still create a limited number of bespoke cakes and floral cupcakes, focusing on quality and creativity. My family life is wonderfully busy, so I balance baking alongside everything that happens at home with my husband and children — they are my world, and the heart of everything I do.

All teaching content now lives on Patreon, and my kitchen remains open for creating beautiful cakes whenever I can.

Press, Events & Opportunities

I have been fortunate enough to be featured both locally, and worldwide in the Press throughout my career, something that is both incredibly humbling and exciting all at the same time! Please click here to see the Taylor Made Press Page.

I also was lucky enough in 2018 to be given the SBS award for Taylor Made Cakes of Tenterden! For those of you who don’t know about Theo Paphitis’ Small Business Sunday award, each week Theo rewards small businesses that tweet him @TheoPaphitis and describe their businesses in one tweet – including the all-important hashtag #SBS. Only tweets made in the time slot between 5.00 PM and 7.30 PM each Sunday count. It’s a Twitter based award and they hold an event every year.

Wow!! It’s an event I look forward to every year! Theo has a different guest speaker every year that talks about their experiences and I just learn so much. Its completely priceless for me and my business. I’ve taken little nuggets of wisdom from him and his guest speakers and I am practising them as we speak. It’s also integral to what I teach all of you. It is a wonderful event and a great opportunity to meet other like minded people running small businesses in all sectors and industries… PLUS, they put on a really good spread!!!

Attending these events and interacting with other business owners, both in and out of the baking industry is something I encourage every one of you to do – it blows my mind the way that people recognise and approach me! It’s so humbling to get the reactions I receive.

Cake International has been without a doubt the biggest eye opener. People approach me and say things such as ‘You’ve changed my life’, “I didn’t think I could do it until I found you” … there are no words to express how amazing this makes me feel – I think people relate to me because I’m real.
I say it as it is, and I do NOT hold back. I am absolutely no different to anyone else, I’m a mum, a wife and a friend who is trying to make a difference.
These days my whole aim and goal for my business and my working life is for my students to succeed. I spend most of my time coaching students with self belief rather than actual baking or piping techniques and instilling into you all that YOU can do this. That is what makes me truly happy these days. This is one of the many reasons I am currently writing a book (STAY TUNED FOR MORE ON THIS). It’s not all about cake – its about success in all avenues of your life – The Taylor Made Way, the only way I know.

If you are looking only for industry specific advice and guidance then you can absolutely find it here at the Taylor Made Cake Courses website and within my blog – I have a vast knowledge of my industry and I am more than willing to share it ALL with you, all you have to do is look, and ask. BUT – This isn’t all The Taylor Made Way is about… There is so much more to it than baking and piping, I really hope to open up that door a little more and I invite you all to step through if that is what you are looking for.
