Painted Cakes
Each hand-painted design is created as a one-of-a-kind piece, combining craftsmanship, composition, and flavour in equal measure. Edible pigments and cocoa butter are used to paint directly onto the cake’s surface, transforming each tier into a canvas. Inspired by meaningful places, florals, and personal details, every design is unique to the couple it is created for.
Example prices are included for guidance and reflect designs created at the time.
Landscapes and Scenery
Landscape designs capture a sense of place, from Somerset countryside to coastal views or venues that hold personal significance. Scenes can flow across multiple tiers or appear as framed vignettes, painted to reflect the tones and textures of the season.
This four-tier design featured hand-painted scenes of Glastonbury Tor, the Clifton Suspension Bridge, and the city of Bath. Created in 2025, this piece was priced at £1200.
Architectural Details
Illustrated venues, family homes, or historic buildings can be incorporated to reflect the spaces that have shaped the couple’s story. Each structure is painted by hand, with careful attention to texture, light, and architectural form.
Example shown: A coastal cottage and Cornish harbour scene, created in 2024, priced at £800.
Beloved Companions
Dogs, cats, horses, and even family farm animals such as cows can be painted by hand as part of the design, either nestled within a landscape or subtly hidden among the decoration. Each portrait is created using fine edible pigments to capture character and warmth with gentle realism, adding a quiet personal touch to the final piece.
Field scene featuring the couple’s dogs, created in 2023, priced at £350.
Botanical and Florals
Botanical paintings draw inspiration from bouquets, gardens, and Somerset’s natural landscape. Each bloom is painted to echo the flowers chosen for the day, creating soft movement across the tiers. Painted florals can be combined with sugar flowers, textured icing, or gilded elements for added depth.
Hand-painted floral tiers with sugar flower detailing, created in 2024, priced at £950.
Bringing Your Design to Life
During your consultation, we will talk through your ideas, venue, and overall aesthetic, as well as the stories or details you would like reflected in the painting. You will then be invited to share photographs and inspiration - whether of landscapes, buildings, florals, or personal elements - which I use to develop a hand-drawn sketch showing the layout, colour palette, and any painted additions. Once the design is approved, the cake is baked and painted by hand using edible pigments and cocoa butter, bringing each detail to life with care and precision.
