THE BEST CUPCAKES IN ALL THE MULTIVERSES - Edit
Had the pretzel one and the raspberry one. Was mistakenly drifted to another dimension of prime time epicness, whilst simultaneously feeling like a happy toddler licking the left over icing out of the bowl.

Awesome Vegan Cakes - Edit
Highly recommend this bakery! I had these amazing cupcakes and they were as tasty as they are beautiful. I've also had brownies by post and everything is made and packaged with such care, I really recommend getting something delivered.

Best Cakes Ever - Edit
I have had MANY cakes from Hannah over the years, ever since trying one of her cupcakes she brought to roller derby practice. They are outstanding, in taste, presentation, creativity, price and most of all Hannah is accommodating of all dietary requests. I have ordered cakes for birthdays, events, and even just a random Wednesday as i was craving them!! Her postal brownies and fluff topping are a wonderful treat to send to a friend. All my friends and family look forward to a slice when they know i have one of her cakes... but they have to fight me for it as i dont give Hannah's cakes up easily!! Her bakery location is very easy to drive too, with plenty of parking, and she has a large range of collection times. I cant not recommend Hannah's cakes enough!! Oh by the way... Im Not Vegan or Vegetarian, but these cakes are the best on the South Coast!!

Cons: None, None, None

Wedding Cake Bliss - Edit
I requested from Hannah a bespoke wedding cake for my and my (now) wife's wedding just gone. We have a couple of vegan family members, including a dairy-allergic youngster, so to ensure that everyone could enjoy a cake, I wanted to make sure it was vegan and tasty. I knew about Hannah Banana Bakery via my sister, who had her wedding cake (amazing) designed by Hannah also, and she was amazing again. She produced a completely bespoke two-tiered wedding cake that looked like a 'half' of a cake (photos to come later). Apparently, this unusual look had not been requested before, though that didn't stop Hannah from researching (how much time and effort!), and finding out how best to ensure it looked great and was stable to transport, cut into (for the photos) and then eat. It was a scrumptious Oreo and banana flavour, which went down well with everyone! She also provided instructions to us and the venue on how to store the cake until it was displayed. Many compliments flowed to us from guests that should be passed to Hannah Banana Bakery.

So yummy! - Edit
I bought three items from Hannah Banana Bakery and none of them were anything less than delicious. My favourite was the peanut butter and chocolate rice crispie square bar - it was one of the mst delicious treats I've ever had!

Delicious. - Edit
I've had cupcakes from here 2 times now and in all I've tried 5 different flavour cupcakes which were all so yummy. Hannah was great at catering to me being gluten free and the cakes still tasted incredible despite gf being quite hit and miss. I'd definitely recommend Hannah for special events and definitely as a special treat!

I'm a bit obsessed with these cakes - Edit
Hannah doesn't make the best vegan cakes - she makes the best cakes, full stop.
Read moreHaving tried her cupcakes before I asked her to make my wedding cakes last year. We went for 4 flavours of cupcake and a round iced sponge cake for cutting. All of it was simply amazing. I found Hannah really attentive and keen to get it exactly right throughout, despite the fact that her prices are far less than the vast majority of other celebration cake makers I've come across.
She was happy to create new flavours for us to try (you can have a free sample of 3 flavour cupcakes before committing yourself) and made sure all the details were exactly what we wanted, down to the exact colour of ribbon on the main cake.
Everyone - vegan, vegetarian and otherwise - loved her cakes; many couldn't believe that they were vegan.
Despite Hannah's recommendation, we ordered much more cake than our guests could ever have eaten - and they tried! - and we found the cakes all kept really well.
She needs to open a cake shop so I can have them all the time!
Pros: delicious, good range of flavours, good value

Vegan wedding cakes - or not as the case may be. - Edit
I stumbled across Hannah Banana Bakery doing a websearch and was immediately both delighted and excited to have found someone who makes vegan wedding cakes fairly near to Dorset where I was getting married. The photos on the website on served to confirm this was the cake maker for me. I was having a vegan wedding and really wanted to support cottage industries with a vegan slant. It was almost too perfect to be true.
Read moreSadly, here's where the magic ended. Hannah consistently failed to return my calls or emails and did not call when arranged. I'd go weeks without hearing anything from her and told myself time and time again it will be alright in the end. After S months of nonsense I and a final missed deadline I relectantly sought out another cake maker. Hannah did apologies for the charade and offer to send me a ruffle. The whole experience was the last thing any bride to be needs. In short, ther skill levels are not in question and evident by the photos on the website. But can you rely on Hannah for special occassions? In my experience no.
Pros: highly skilled, supporting fellow vegans, innovative vegan bakery
Cons: not trustworthy, poor communications, cannot be relyed upon
