About Us

Our Story

We know what you are thinking...

We don’t sell pot and we don’t bake cakes.

So why the name Potcakes? Many years ago, whilst holidaying in the Bahamas, our Managing Director Judith fell in love with a couple of stray dogs. Judith began helping the local charity that provided care and treatment for these very sociable and lovable creatures. The locals, too, did all they could to care for the dogs and they would feed them scraps out of the old pots that were used to bake cakes in. These dogs are affectionately referred to as Potcakes.

Potcakes became the name of our company in 2000, in honour of these animals and what they stand for; loyalty, friendliness, intelligence and dependability. These qualities remain embedded in the DNA of our business.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is more important to us than the complete satisfaction of our clients, and we pride ourselves on the lasting relationships we develop with them.

Over time, these connections have become the foundation upon which repeat business is built. We believe in quality over quantity, and for this reason we will never be a large business. We focus on what’s important: delivering a consistently first-class, personal service.

Working across multiple disciplines we have earned ourselves a reputation for our quietly executed attention to detail, our creativity and our collaborative approach to clients and suppliers.

HOW WE WORK

We are nothing if not thorough...

Whether it’s a private or corporate event, the better we know your individual personality or company culture, the better we can interpret your needs and design an event which exceeds your expectations. We do this by immersing ourselves in your philosophy, listening to your ideas and helping you refine them. It’s imperative that you, as our client, find the process as enjoyable as your guests will find the event. We have developed a network of trusted suppliers, through which we ensure that your guests participate in an experience that always indulges their five senses.

 THE TEAM

Our office is our second home, so we keep the teas and coffees flowing and take our shoes off at the door.

Each of us brings our own individual style and talent to the team, and collectively we have been described by clients as honest, passionate, innovative, quirky and warm, with no airs or graces. No two days at Potcakes are the same; we work hard, laugh hard and give awesome high-fives.
