Liggy and our Cupcake Boutique - Liggy’s cakes was started by Liggy Morgan when she left university in 2007 with the aim or making high quality cupcakes that could be sent out UK wide as gifts. Following a successful (but messy!) 2 years in her parent’s kitchen she then opened Edinburgh’s most stylish cake shop at 45 William St in 2009. One year on there is now a team of four dedicated bakers and cake decorators working away producing beautiful and delicious cakes and cupcakes.
Come and visit us in our Cake Boutique in Edinburgh’s West End Village where you can buy cupcakes to take away or sit in for a lovely cup of tea or coffee and chat to us about all things cake!
Our Team
Claire - Claire has always loved designing and decorating cakes. She began early in life creating miniature Fimo banquets for her Sylvanian families and serving mud-pie afternoon teas to her family in the garden. From a remote control motorised F1 racing car cake to a 5 tier wedding cake with a cascade of sugar flowers, she relishes any cake-related challenge. Claire studied Fine Art in Brighton and loves the creative process of designing a cake. Her cakes begin life in her sketchbooks which are full of colour swatches, patterns, drawings and inspirations. Her love of photography goes hand-in hand with her cakes and she can often been seen snapping away on her camera as Liggy whisks a master piece out the door!
Sophia - The newest member of the team Sophia has brought her unfaltering eye for perfection and flair for design that keep our cakes truly unique and gorgeous.
Keith -Keith began his apprenticeship in 1991 with Taylors Bakery where he fast learnt the techniques and skills that he uses to bake our delicious cakes and cupcakes. During the past 20 years Keith has worked for companies such as Patisseree Joldo where he was head baker before moving on to the Sicilian Pastry shop, Eskside Bakery and Pateiserry UK and finally Manna House, Edinburgh before coming to work at Liggy’s Cakes. Keith says the best thing about working for Liggy’s Cakes is seeing the finished article – it’s a lot of teamwork, and the worst thing is the early starts!
Liggy -Liggy started the business when she left University in 2007 aged 22, and began by setting up an online shop where customers could buy cupcakes to send nationwide as gifts. Following initial success, the shop opened in 2009 in Edinburgh’s West End where it is fast establishing itself as one of Edinburgh’s most stylish cake boutiques. Liggy mostly enjoys taking cupcake classes and tasting new cakes!
