About Lorraine

I am a Trinidadian, born and bred in the sleepy country village of Mayaro on Trinidad's eastern coast. Being a country girl at heart, I have been involved in cooking and baking from an early age. I initially began as my grandmother's and aunt's assistant and when I moved to London at the age of 9 (as the eldest of five children) I continued with this trend.

I created Tantie Lorraine's Cakes in 1999 and I specialise in traditional Caribean fruitcakes. I was encouraged to start a business by friends and family for whom I had been baking cakes for over 20 years.

My fruitcake recipes are tried and tested from generation to generation and are a combination of my truly Caribbean heritage - Martinique, Barbados, Tobago, Grenada and finally Trinidad. My contribution to this legacy is to give a modern twist to these traditional cakes and create Tantie Lorraine's Rich Fruit Cakes.

I believe that no other fruitcakes taste like mine and I take great pleasure in presenting them to you. ….But don't take my word for it -why don't you book an appointment to discuss your ideas and taste my cakes for yourself…
