A cupcake party and cake decorating session were among activities to mark the re-launch of a cake shop.

The owners of One of A Kind Cake Co and Tasteful Cakes both in Coulsdon, merged their businesses and celebrated with the event on Saturday, October 19.

Tracey Newton opened One of A Kind Cake Co three-and-a-half-years ago after deciding she would love to open her own bespoke cake shop.

After meeting Christina Geourgiou of Tasteful Cakes at a wedding fayre the pair decided to work together.

To celebrate the collaboration a full day of activities took place at the shop in Brighton Road, with a children's cupcake party in the morning and free cake decorating demonstrations.

Ms Geourgiou, a former pastry chef at Claridge's, taught guests how to create a large sugar rose, how to create model faces, as well as a surprise demo.

Ms Newton said: "Our work is completely different but we complement each other perfectly.

"Cakes I would not do, she does and equally I do work that she wouldn't take on.

"We believe we have a great future together."
