Hello, I'm Dia
I'm the baker behind Dia's Cakes, a small, registered home bakery in Eastbourne.
I specialise in French macarons, celebration cakes and wedding desserts, each made to order with quality ingredients and careful technique. What began as a passion for perfecting the macaron has grown into a bakery serving birthdays, celebrations and weddings across East Sussex.
I take on a limited number of orders each week, so every cake receives my full attention, from the first design conversation to the finished bake.
Top food hygiene rating
Made to order
Cakes need two weeks' notice, macarons five days. Everything is baked fresh for your date.
Collection & delivery
Collect from Eastbourne (BN23), or I'll deliver within 15 miles.
What customers say
“So many people said it was the best cake they’d ever had. I can’t thank you enough, it was so beautiful and tasted so good.”
“The taste was incredible! We all said the pistachio and raspberry combination went so well together. I’ve just had a piece with my lunch and it was delicious even after a few days.”
“Everybody was so impressed with how gorgeous it looked, and even more impressed with how it tasted. It was so indulgent and just perfect in every way.”
“I’d never had macarons before, but the girls and their partners said they were the best they’d ever had. Thank you so much, especially at such short notice.”
“The cake was absolutely incredible, everyone loved it! I wish we’d ordered a bigger size.”
“My husband LOVED them. Your macarons are his favourite! My little girl loved them too. My favourite was the raspberry and pistachio.”
“All my friends loved your cake. Honestly, it’s my third time eating your cake and they’re always great. The look of the cake was superb too, many compliments.”

Within 15 miles of Eastbourne. It's £8 up to 5 miles, then £1 per extra mile. Wedding cakes include set-up and are quoted by venue.
Can you post macarons?
Yes! Small boxes of macarons and my seasonal macaron collections can be posted across the UK, carefully packed so they arrive in perfect condition. Larger orders and macaron towers are collection or local delivery only.
Can you do a last-minute order?
Sometimes! Drop me a DM on Instagram and I'll tell you honestly if I can fit you in.
How do deposits work?
A 50% deposit secures your date. The balance is due a week before. Wedding deposits are non-refundable but can move to a new date once.
What allergens do you use?
My kitchen handles gluten (wheat), eggs, milk, nuts (especially almonds and pistachios), peanuts, soya and sesame. All macarons contain almonds, egg and dairy.
Do you cater for allergies?
All bakes are prepared in a kitchen that also handles gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts, so while every care is taken, the absence of allergens cannot be guaranteed. If you have a severe allergy, please get in touch before ordering so we can discuss your requirements.
