Wedding cakes, statement desserts and dessert tables, made in Somerset

Somerset, Cornwall, Devon, The Cotswolds, Dorset, London

Flavour worth remembering, and design worth stopping for. 

Flavour drawn from what’s in season in Somerset, and from what means something to you. A dessert from somewhere you’ve travelled, a family recipe, or simply something you genuinely love to eat.

The design follows the same instinct, shaped around the day itself and made to hold its place at the centre of the room.

The result should linger. Beautiful enough to be remembered, and delicious enough that people are still talking about it long after the last slice.

Flavour, drawn from Somerset

Working from the middle of the Somerset countryside means the best ingredients are often just outside the door. Fruit is picked at its seasonal best and frozen straight away, so a strawberry cake in December can still taste like the height of summer. Honey, cider, butter and eggs come from the farmers and producers this part of the world happens to do so well.

 

It means your cake carries a little of Somerset in it, whatever season you marry in.

"It's rare to find a cake that is designed to such perfection but also tastes so incredible. Everyone was talking about it. We had the most magical day."

About Lydia

Red Seal trained pastry chef and shaped by years in five-star kitchens, I’m now based in Somerset and still happiest with flour on my hands and something in the oven.

​

Every cake and dessert started somewhere: my grandmother’s kitchen, the pastry section at the Four Seasons Hotel, and a lot of early mornings learning how to make something taste as good as it looks.

If you're dreaming up something that doesn't quite fit into any of the above, I'd still love to hear about it. 
Some of my favourite ideas start with, 'I don't know if this is possible, but…'
