Wedding Cakes

At the heart of every union, the wedding cake symbolizes the sweet beginning shared between the couple and their guests. It's not just a dessert; it's a testament to the start of a new chapter, leaving a memorable impression. Beyond its beauty, the cake reflects your joint style and taste.

Inspired by your preferences, I strive to create cakes that resonate with your vision, ensuring they are as unique and special as your celebration.

My wedding cake designs are a harmonious blend of elegance and precision, marrying the timeless charm of classic styles with the freshness of contemporary trends. Working with an array of materials, from buttercream to fondant, from handcrafted sugar blossoms to fresh flower decorations, every cake is a reflection of fine artisanship. The creation of each design is a meticulous process; carefully thought out and crafted to breathe life into arrangements that captivate the senses.


To request a wedding cake, book a consultation where we'll explore your specific needs and discuss preferences whilst sampling exquisite slices of cake. Or alternatively, you may communicate your preferences via the cake request form.

The request form offers four design options to choose from. You can either select one of my signature designs as shown below or opt for the 'Design Your Cake' option. Choosing the 'Design Your Cake' option allows you to make a custom cake request, where you can upload reference images and describe your vision in detail.


Cake details and portion sizes

The standard height of my cake tiers is 10cm. Custom designs can incorporate tiers of varying heights and/ or dummy tiers to achieve a contemporary aesthetic. If you have a preference, please specify it on the request form's additional notes section.

Cake coverings include buttercream, ganache, or fondant. My choice depends on cake design and flavour profile chosen. If you have a preference in mind, kindly specify this in the additional notes section on the request form.

Portions are sized at a standard 75g, offering a satisfying dessert serving. For events featuring a wider array of dishes, a smaller "finger portion" of 35-40g per person can be arranged to minimize waste.

Each cake is crafted to maintain its freshness for 2-3 days post-delivery or collection. Should there be cake leftover, I recommend refrigerating the cake slices to extend the enjoyment. Detailed instructions on storage, shelf life, and dietary information will be provided with your order.

Testimonials

"Maxie crafted an exquisite two-tier cake for our summer wedding in 2023. We were immensely grateful for her support and expertise throughout the design process, resulting in a creation that matched our exact desires. We wish to highlight the cake's delightful and fresh flavours and ingredients, specifically vanilla and raspberry, which received universal acclaim from our guests. The cake was rapidly consumed, with everyone eagerly seeking a second helping!"

"Dear Maxie,

I almost dare to say your cake stole my thunder! What a fantasy, everybody loved it! Some guests told me "I am not usually into cakes, but this one is amazing", and multiple people wanted a second piece as well. It was everything we wanted! I am so happy we found you and it was lovely to meet you in person as well, we felt the dedication and passion you put into your work and that is always nice. Please keep doing what you do because you are amazing!"

"Maxie played an unforgettable role in our wedding in the south of France. Her talent as a pastry chef is unparalleled, and we were so fortunate to have her create the cake and dessert buffet for our big day. Each piece was visually stunning with tastes that were simply divine. Her ability to balance flavours and textures is remarkable. We asked Maxie for a buffet-style selection of sweet treats, and the final result exceeded our wildest dreams. Her creativity, sophisticated designs, and brilliant flavours amazed us and our guests, perfectly complementing our charming location.
Our guests couldn't stop talking about Maxie’s creations, and we can't thank her enough."

"We have such fond memories of the wedding cake you made for us! We didn't have any specific ideas – we wanted it to taste good and light, preferably  layered with buttercream and look natural and delicate. You nailed it – also our  guests still remember the fantastic taste of the chocolate and lemon cake tiers.  Your design couldn't have suited us better. The cherry blossoms looked strikingly real. And as if you had guessed that we would later have an old cherry tree as  center piece in our garden...
Thank you Maxie for your attention, creativity and skill in making our perfect cake!"

"We had a fantastic experience with Maxie. Our Black Forest Gateau wedding cake exceeded our expectations and we were absolutely stunned by the attention to detail, as well as the actual taste. It was a real treat and very special for us and our guests."

"We were thrilled to have Maxie make our wedding cake. We set her a difficult brief of multiple tiers and multiple flavours – enough to feed 250 people. We had a very specific colour scheme and knew we wanted rococo touches as well as gold leafing. The cake was on display through our whole wedding breakfast, in the middle of summer, and it is a testament to her craft that it looked incredible throughout. It really was the centerpiece of the whole day. Maxie took on the challenge and delivered the prettiest, tastiest and the highly decorated wedding cake we have ever seen or eaten."

"Our grandiose wedding cake with an avalanche of macarons.
Maxie’s bespoke wedding cake was the most delicate and delicious cake EVER. We had asked for an avalanche of macarons down the wedding cake and in the end Maxie’s cake completely exceeded our expectations!
The macarons where with a passion fruit and chocolate filling and they came in all various pastel colours. My absolute favourite macarons in the whole world. You have to taste it for yourselves.
Maxie’s macarons deserve their own brand name.
I had the chance of watching Maxie create this magical cake. She works with such attentiveness and dedication, it was a joy to see this cake being created. The most beautiful and most delicious wedding cake we could have asked for.
Thank you Maxie for an unforgettable wedding cake."
