The local baker, Rebecca Severs, who declined Catherine Tyldesley’s request for 100 cakes in exchange for social media and magazine promotion, has finally broken her silence amidst the controversy. Severs took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the support she received from small businesses during this ordeal and playfully shared an AI-generated image of the requested cake for the “camp as t*ts” themed party.
The dispute arose when Rebecca shared a Facebook post revealing an email exchange between her bakery and a PR company representing an unidentified celebrity who requested a 40th birthday cake, 100 cupcakes, and a smaller cake for her husband. Severs criticized the celebrity for not being able to pay for services and emphasized the importance of women supporting each other.
The Mail later revealed that the celebrity in question was Catherine Tyldesley herself, who then accused the “cake lady” of seeking exposure in a video shared on Instagram. Severs responded to the accusations by expressing her gratitude for the overwhelming support she received and shared an AI drawing of the infamous cake request created by her brother-in-law.
In the video, Tyldesley expressed her surprise at the emails being sent and clarified that she is not working with OK magazine or NVRLND on any projects. She defended the party planners, stating that they have supplied her with performers in the past and have been misrepresented in this matter. She ended the video by sarcastically remarking that she hopes the “cake lady” got the exposure she was craving.
The email exchange, posted by Rebecca Severs on Facebook, revealed that the celebrity management team offered promotion on social media platforms with over 700K followers and featured in OK magazine as payment for supplying cakes for the event. They mentioned that the party would be attended by celebrities from TV, film, and music, which could lead to future work opportunities.
Catherine Tyldesley is known for her role as Eva Price on Coronation Street and has appeared on shows like BBC sitcom Scarborough and Strictly Come Dancing. Rebecca Severs, the founder of Three Little Birds Bakery, decided to decline the offer without knowing that it was Tyldesley requesting the cakes. The witty response she posted on social media garnered support from many who appreciated her stance on fair compensation for small businesses.
Since then, the bakery has faced the threat of legal action and has been inundated with messages and calls. They are grateful for the support they have received and hope that this incident highlights the issue of small businesses, particularly those in female-dominated industries, not receiving fair compensation for their work. They remain proud of their skilled team, fair pricing practices, and the success they have built.
Another anonymous cake baker confirmed that they also declined the opportunity to make cakes for the same party planners. Catherine Tyldesley is active on social media platforms and shares regular updates with her followers.
