Peggy Porschen

Peggy Porschen moved from her native Germany to London in 1998 to study at Le Cordon Bleu cookery school. Quickly developing an individual style, Peggy established her own business in 2003, Peggy Porschen Cakes, a bespoke design company that not only reflects her life-long love of baking but also celebrates beautiful craftsmanship, inspired by romance, femininity and fashion. Her cookies and cakes have graced many A-list events, such as Elton John’s White Tie & Tiara Ball, the weddings of both Stella McCartney and Kate Moss and parties for Madonna, Sting & Trudie Styler and Gwyneth Paltrow. Peggy’s first book, Pretty Party Cakes, was voted Best Entertaining Cookbook by the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. She also regularly contributes to Condé Nast Brides, Wedding and Sainsbury’s magazine, with many of her celebrity commissions featuring in Tatler, Vogue, OK! and Hello magazines.

Autumn 2010 saw the opening of the Peggy Porschen Parlour in London’s Belgravia, then in January 2011 she opened her Academy, London’s first cookery school dedicated entirely to baking, cake decorating and sugarcraft.
