Dessert Tables
Tables of cakes, tarts, meringues and sweet things, built around the flavours you love.
There's no set menu here. Each table begins with a conversation: favourite desserts, flavours worth including, sometimes a place or memory you want to share with your guests. From there it's built dish by dish to suit the size and shape of your day.
Italian Inspired Dessert Table
Toasted lemon meringues, cannoli piped in front of guests with brandied fig cream, pistachio and white chocolate biscotti, bite-sized tiramisu, amaretti and hand-rolled citrus truffles, stacked high from one end of the table to the other.
An Autumnal Wedding
Raspberry meringues and macarons in cherry and dark chocolate ran the length of this table, finished with local honey truffles tucked among the seasonal fruit-filled cakes and tarts. Built for an autumn wedding, with the flavours mingling all the way down the table.
Cherries and Dark Chocolate
Cherries went into nearly everything on this table, brandied in the tiramisu in the tiramisu, and worked alongside plums, cherry plums and quince across the smaller bakes. An almond and orange tart filled with homemade marmalade, along with rich dark truffles, rounded out a spread built entirely around fruit and chocolate.
Burgundy by Candlelight
A pear and caramel fudge cake stood at the centre of this table, with a Somerset apple and caramel croquembouche built up beside it. A black fig and coffee pavlova and damson and raspberry tarts filled out the spread, finished with Earl Grey and blueberry shortbread.
Built around you
Some couples know exactly what they want on the table: a favourite dessert, a flavour from somewhere they've travelled, a family recipe. Others want a little more guidance, and there’s always a list of ideas to start from.
From there, everything is shaped around the season and the day itself. A table might centre on a small cake, a croquembouche, a full wedding cake or a cluster of smaller bakes, all worked into the spread.
Table linen, cake stands and serving ware can be added, along with extra staff where the table needs replenishing or finishing on the day. Florals can be coordinated directly with your florist, so everything feels part of the same table.
