Wedding Cakes & Show Stoppers

Every wedding cake is designed to capture the spirit of the day, a reflection of your style, season, and celebration.

Made with local ingredients and an eye for detail, each piece is crafted to feel timeless, personal, and unforgettable. Butter from local dairies, orchard fruits, and single-origin chocolate ensure every slice tastes as exquisite as it looks.

Hand-painted details, delicate sugar flowers, and modern sculptural forms bring each design to life. Whether inspired by the folds of a gown, the tones of a bouquet, or the setting of your venue, every element is considered with care to create a cake that feels truly your own.

Explore signature styles below to discover the artistry behind each design.

Classic Styles

Timeless, balanced, and elegant. These designs draw inspiration from traditional tiered silhouettes with smooth fondant finishes, subtle textures, and soft tones that feel graceful in any setting. Ideal for stately homes, heritage venues, or couples who love understated refinement, classic styles pair clean structure with delicate detail to create a quietly confident centrepiece.

"We couldn’t decide on the design for our wedding cake, in the end we went with a table of 5 different cakes. It was wonderful as our guests got to pick their favourite flavour. The designs were absolutely beautiful and really matched our aesthetic."

Painted Cakes

A celebration of craftsmanship and storytelling through art. Hand-painted designs take inspiration from nature, architecture, or a couple’s own story, each brushstroke layered over a smooth fondant canvas. These creations often draw from Somerset’s changing seasons, with painted florals, landscapes, or motifs that mirror the atmosphere of the day.

 

Floral Creations

An homage to the beauty of flowers, from lifelike sugar blooms to pressed edible petals and fresh arrangements. Every stem is prepared for food safety and designed in harmony with your florist’s palette to create a cohesive look. Floral cakes can feel romantic and wild or refined and sculptural, always rooted in seasonality and crafted to echo the tone of the day.

Each cake is made to order and designed to balance flavour, form, and seasonality in equal measure. From intricate lacework and gilded finishes to soft buttercream textures, your cake will be a centrepiece that feels both intentional and effortless.

Unconventional Elegance

Not every couple envisions a traditional tiered wedding cake. For those seeking something distinctive and dramatic, a collection of showstopper desserts can be created to reflect both personality and style. These designs combine patisserie craft with sculptural form, offering a centrepiece that feels indulgent, elegant, and entirely unique to your celebration.

A croquembouche tower spun with golden caramel and filled with light choux pastry and vanilla crème pâtissière brings height and texture to the table. A millefoglie, layered with crisp pastry, whipped cream, and seasonal fruit, feels both classic and effortless. For something more decadent, a giant tiramisu dusted with cocoa and layered with espresso-soaked sponge and mascarpone creates an unmistakable moment of theatre.

For a more relaxed yet equally striking display, table-length cakes covered in fresh fruit and berries create a sense of abundance and celebration. These designs stretch across the table as a shared centrepiece, inviting guests to gather and serve themselves. Each one is layered with seasonal produce and finished with natural glazes or whipped cream, highlighting the flavours of Somerset orchards and summer gardens. Styled with herbs, edible flowers, or powdered sugar, they bring a generous, effortless beauty to the table.

Each piece can be styled with seasonal fruits, fresh florals, or delicate sugar work, ensuring it harmonises perfectly with your wider design. These creations are especially suited to marquee and outdoor celebrations, destination-style weekends, or couples who want the experience of something that feels both elevated and unexpected.

Prices start at £500, with final costs tailored to size, complexity, and styling requirements.

They reimagine tradition through patisserie, artistry, and flavour, creating a centrepiece that is as unforgettable as the day itself.
