With over a decade of experience in baking, Yolanda has transformed her passion into a leading-edge platform for edible expression, blending tradition with forward-thinking design.
FROM STEM TO SUGAR
Born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and raised in London, Yolanda Princewill’s path to cake artistry was as distinctive as her designs. A First Class graduate in Biomedical Science from Warwick University, she began her professional journey in the world of investment management, where she honed her analytical thinking and strategic insight.
This unique combination of scientific discipline and business acumen provided the solid foundation to envision YP BAKES—a brand that blends creativity with precision, and aesthetics with intention. Yolanda’s ability to merge structure with imagination has allowed her to approach cake design with a refined, innovative edge rarely seen in the industry.
RAISING THE STANDARD IN CAKE DESIGN

Her pioneer design cake bouquets—a striking fusion of floristry and cakes—offer a fresh perspective on gifting and celebration. These handcrafted pieces are designed to be as visually captivating as they are delicious, turning ordinary moments into lasting memories.
Yolanda is also known for her unique graphic cakes—custom portrait cakes that merge her background in graphic illustration with her baking expertise. These edible artworks are created to reflect the essence of each individual, celebrating milestones in a personal and unforgettable way. Bold, joyful, and meticulously detailed, they embody Yolanda’s commitment to storytelling through sugar and design.
THE PIONEER OF THE CAKE BOUQUET
The idea for YP BAKES’ signature cake bouquet came during a moment of prayer, when Yolanda Princewill received a clear vision: a cake nestled in a bed of roses. Moved by this inspiration, she visited the flower market the very next day and brought the vision to life.
That first creation went viral, launching a new chapter for YP BAKES and setting the tone for what would become a hallmark of the brand—artistry rooted in intention and faith.
Each bouquet is crafted with care, combining floristry, technical skill, and heartfelt design to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. For Yolanda, it’s more than cake—it’s connection, creativity, and purpose in edible form.
BUILDING A LEGACY
At the heart of Yolanda’s creative journey is the enduring influence of her late mother, whose memory continues to inspire every aspect of YP BAKES. Her mother’s love, strength, and creative spirit live on in Yolanda’s work—infusing each cake with meaning, care, and a sense of personal legacy.
YP BAKES is not only a business, but a tribute—a way of honouring the past while building something beautiful and lasting for the future. Through every handcrafted cake and bouquet, Yolanda channels the values passed down to her: excellence, grace, and intentionality. This legacy is the soul of YP BAKES, and the reason each creation holds more than just flavour—it holds heart.
