Classic Styles
Classic wedding cakes combine heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Finished in fondant, ganache, or buttercream, these cakes celebrate traditional techniques with a refined, modern touch. Every detail is considered - from soft natural textures and smooth finishes to intricate piping - creating elegant centrepieces that feel both familiar and fresh.
Example prices are included for guidance and reflect designs created at the time.
Naked and Semi-Naked Cakes
Simple and full of character, these cakes highlight the ingredients themselves - layers of soft sponge, seasonal fruit, and whipped buttercream. Decorated with fresh flowers, fruits, or herbs, they bring a relaxed elegance ideal for country weddings, barns, and outdoor celebrations.
Example: 3 tier cake coated in white chocolate ganache created in 2025, priced at £500.
Textured Buttercream
Softly sculpted buttercream finishes create subtle movement and dimension, adding warmth and charm to a traditional form. Each surface is hand-textured to complement the flowers, palette, and tone of the day. This finish suits both relaxed countryside settings and elegant modern spaces.
Example: Two-tier buttercream design with soft petal texture and sugar flowers, created in 2025, priced at £350.
Ganache Finishes
Smooth, polished ganache offers a classic yet contemporary finish. Perfect for clean edges and precise silhouettes, it provides a flawless surface that can be left minimal, textured, or covered with a thin layer of fondant for a satin-like sheen. Rich and indulgent, ganache pairs beautifully with both sugar flowers and fresh seasonal blooms.
Example: Smooth ganache cake decorated with seasonal blooms (provided by florist), created in 2025, priced at £550.
Lambeth Detailing
Decorative piping and ornate scrollwork bring a sense of occasion and artistry. Each pattern is piped by hand using layers of royal icing or buttercream to create depth, texture, and symmetry. This style nods to vintage craftsmanship while maintaining a balanced, contemporary feel through colour and proportion.
Example: Three-tier design with layered piping and sugar florals, created in 2024, priced at £650.
