Sweet Fox Cakery

Hi! I'm Reni and I created the Sweet Fox Cakery!

I was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, living in Bournemouth since 2015, with my husband and two pups.

You can call me René, whatever works.

I was born in 1989 so straight up 90s early 00s baby here! That was very millennial of me I’m sorry.

Got my love of baking from my great grandma, who had to feed her kids during ww2 with only soups and some baked goods for that carb load! It’s really crazy what you can do with a little flour.

When I was a kid she baked lots of elaborate cakes and pastries, I’ve spent every day after school there, and there was always something fresh for me, I was in heaven oh yeah!

Isn’t it beautiful you get to dip into that heritage via my cakes?!

From necessity to pure enjoyment

Cakes for me equals care and love, and of course the sweet taste of sugar altered my brain forever

I’ve graduated from business school and worked at a bank but soon realised this makes no sense for me.

I wanted to create something more physical, and here comes baking as a career!

It was also the time I’ve moved away from home with my now husband and had a kitchen all to myself, so you better believe I was unstoppable baby!!

Quick pastry school detour, couple of pastry chef jobs, moving abroad and here I am.

Turned vegan in 2018 and it kind of clicked, I can make vegan cakes and therefore promote veganism and treat my fellow vegan pals at the same time what?!

After a lottt of procrastination I’ve finally officially opened my home-based micro cakery, Sweet Fox in 2019 in our rental apartment.

Baking, especially home baking is highly glamourised, it is hard work, I’m standing in the kitchen all the damn time and the stress of being the owner and the employee and everything in between at once is also a lot.

I’ve definitely learned a lot about time and task management, and still learning about boundaries and respect for myself.

I’m a recovering people pleaser so saying no to cakes I physically cannot fit in my schedule is very hard for me, I mean come on it’s someone’s birthday! Birthday!!

This is why I’ve been thinking to expand and have a little workshop perhaps to get some help and more space, but in the current economical climate it is absolutely out of the picture for now, so I just have to accept it and stay very exclusive a bit longer.

I am now doing this full time, constantly worrying about my livelihood, but generally having a good time.

I love to dip into my creative side with the cakes, but I’m also a list girly so enjoy planning for the weeks of baking ahead as well, and then turn my imagination into cakes!

I’m so excited to hear all about their/your favourite flavours, colours, animals, their milestones and achievements from you and put it into cake form I just think it’s so adorable.

I mean look at us silly humans getting another silly human (or treat ourselves to) a silly pile of flour and sugar to celebrate.

Whenever I’m super exhausted, you arrive to collect your cake and I can see the joy on your face, I always hop back to the kitchen ready to start another one straight away! To be a part of something special so rewarding.

So come on get a vegan cake for yourself for your friends, lovers, family I’m here for you the best I can.

My goal is to prove vegan cakes are awesome and there is absolutely no need to exploit animals and our planet for a dessert.

Every time you choose a vegan cake, you save chickens and cows from exploitation.

You choose to save water, land and food.

You choose peace, freedom and life.
