WEDDING CAKES

The Experience

 

So many of my couples tell me that the process of designing their cake and choosing their flavours was the favourite part of planning their wedding. This might be the first time you have commissioned someone to create something bespoke for you. A wedding cake is a big investment so the design experience is something to be savoured as much as the final slice.

 

I invite all my couples to try a box of six flavours, which arrives with you by next day delivery, beautifully packaged and ready to eat – at your leisure. Wherever and with whoever you like. Read this blog post about why I think this process works so well. I also offer limited in-person appointments at my home in West Sussex if you prefer not to Zoom.

Please contact me for availability.

Cake Design

My wedding cake design consultations takes place over Zoom, I literally sketch as we talk and can take inspiration from anything – the work of your favourite artist, the architecture of your wedding venue, your wedding stationery – anything goes! After we have met, I create a unique annotated watercolour sketch for all my couples where our combined visions really come alive.

My watercolour cake drawings are super popular and lots of my couples have purchased them to frame and keep. Ask me about prices and special drawing commissions.

Kind words 

“When I first saw our stunning wedding cake, I was so overwhelmed at how beautiful and intricate it was that I cried! Claire put everything into designing and creating the most individual and unique design for us and people still mention our ‘incredible wedding cake’ 2 years on! It truly was a masterpiece and was lovely to know how much Claire cared about making it perfect for us. We wish we’d never had to cut it, but have kept the gorgeous hand made topper as a stunning keepsake. Thank you Claire we were delighted and you are incredibly talented.”
