I believe there's still a Bon Bon in Abbeville Road. Not sure if it's the same people behind it though.

I had a great birthday cake made by a lady from Scarlett's pantry. It was homemade and organic. Fantastic.

Sorry to hear about Bob Bon. Yes - I'm all for supporting local businesses. I finally took my daughter to Happy Faces on the weekend and she had a marvellous time. I'll check out Coleur Cafe next time I'm up that way, thanks for the tip!

Just a quick update - MariaN made us the most beautiful birthday cake and in record time, she can't have had more than 48 hours! My daughter was thrilled and it was seriously delicious. Thank you so much Maria!!

BonBon has closed down sadley :o i found out today when i took the children to Happy Faces for haircuts. My wife used to buy cupcakes from them every saturday for tea. The most amazing cupcakes, Nuttela one was by far the best.

But seems like there was not much local support so BonBon closed down. The boys are so sad as we would take them there every friday for a treat.

I think we should all support local business as that is what makes our "nappyvalley" different right? I would hate the local area to be full of chains.

Starbucks has thousands of stores so drink your coffee at Couleur Cafe on webbs road i love it there, Quite in the day so i can read the paper.

Those Jane Asher cakes look amazing by the way but a few hundred pounds for a birthday cake is just a little more than I wanted to spend!!

Perhaps I'm going crazy but I can't seem to find Bon Bon anywhere. I've been calling them for days but the phone number just doesn't connect and finally today I walked along Webb's Road looking for them. I found Happy Faces no problem but didn't see any sign of Bon Bon.
hjm did you say you were there just a few weeks ago? Are they behind Happy Faces on Webb's or Bramfield?
So in typical fashion I've left things till the last minute, hopefully I'll get something sorted out before my daughter's birthday party on Saturday!
Just as well I have several other leads to go on - thanks again everyone!

You seem to have had loads of suggestions - but as I am round the corner from you I thought I'd join in any way. I make cakes for Bertie and Boo Cafe in Balham and have done endless birthday cakes for my children over the years, now 18 and 15. So do get in touch if I can help.

I can highly recommend a local mum called Tarina Reeves who makes great children's cakes - you can call her on 07789 658703.

Wow, thanks for all the great replies! SO helpful. I'm going to check out Bon Bon first as they're so close to where we live and if that doesn't work out then I'll start checking out these other options.
Thanks again!

I have a good friend who is in the process of setting up her own cake making business.... she did the cupcakes for my baby shower (very yummy) and have asked her to make my son's first birthday cake so we are going through different ideas at the moment! Am sure she would love to help you out, I can send you her details if you would like. x

Try a friend of mine, Gemma Saffhill, who has recently set up a business in Balham making cakes. She does special ones to order and also has a stall at various of the markets in the area. She did a wonderful "under the sea" themed cake for a big joint birthday party we had for my son and his nct gang - all blue and green waves, rocks and seaweed with fish and starfish and lobsters etc, they loved it - and so did the adults because it was so tasty! Then she also did a more adult cake for another occasion too - a delicious ginger and lemon drizzle cake, yum. Her whole premise is about using the freshest ingredients, organic wherever possible and absolutely nothing to give it an extended 'shelf life'. And you can really taste the difference believe me. I can't imagine getting a cake from anyone else again! Her no is 07760 283653 or Gemma.Saffhill@rpsgroup.com
