Violet returns: softly and elegantly. A composition inspired by Parisian haute-pâtisserie, where delicate florals meet deep berry notes: almond biscuit, blackberry gel, violet cream and light mascarpone vanilla layers, created to feel feminine yet modern, refined yet effortless. Lavender tones without cliché, just texture, balance and a whisper of nostalgia reimagined for today. #wedding #LuxuryPatisserie #Violet #HautePatisserie #WeddingCakeInspiration

Not every cake is for a wedding… some are simply created to celebrate life, friendship and beautiful occasions around the table. #celebration #cakedecorating #pinkcake #cakeoftheday #chefcristina

Love should never be saved for just one day of the year. Celebrate the little moments, say “I love you” often, and hold close the people who make your world softer and brighter 🤍 A little Valentine’s sweetness to remind us that love lives in the everyday, in small gestures, shared laughter, and hearts that choose each other again and again. #ValentinesCake #LoveInEveryDetail #CelebrationCakes #EdibleArt #CakeDesign

Sun-kissed fruit, soft buttercream layers and the beauty of simplicity. Sometimes luxury is not about adding more… it’s about knowing when to stop. Created for those who love timeless, natural elegance. #wedding #weddingcake #nakedcake #cakeoftheday #7marvels

This one was born from a very specific brief ✨ A Dubai-chocolate–inspired cake. Deep chocolate. Toasted pistachio. Layers of chocolate sponge filled with pistachio kunafa cream, crowned with chocolate & pistachio macarons in soft desert tones. Rich but balanced. Opulent without being heavy. A nod to Middle Eastern flavours, interpreted through a couture, wedding-worthy lens. Chocolate, but make it Dubai. 💚🍫 #DubaiChocolate #PistachioLove #kunefe #weddingcake #kunafa

One of my favourite things about weddings is creating these small, intimate details that guests discover at the table. A heart of macarons and flowers, made to be admired first… and eaten later 💗 #LuxuryWeddings #WeddingDesserts #MacaronArt #FrenchPatisserie WeddingStyling

Moments like these are why I do what I do. Seeing my cake and macaron tower become part of Vikki and Owen’s wedding day at the Petersham Hotel, and then receiving these photos from them, is truly special. Thank you both for your trust, your kindness, and for letting me be part of your story. 🤍 #7marvels #BespokeWeddingCake #petersham #RichmondWeddings #weddingcake

A love story that began in Venice, deserves a cake that speaks the same language. Naz and Alex first met in May 2019, in the enchanting streets of Venice, a moment that quietly shaped the beginning of their journey together. From shared sunsets along the canals to years of memories built across borders, their story carries the poetry of timeless romance. This cake was designed to honour their love. Because the most meaningful cakes aren’t just seen, they’re felt. Wishing you both a lifetime of love as extraordinary as the place where it all began. #weddingcake #destinationwedding #veniceinspired #weddingtrends2026 #wedding @nazemin_4rt

Created for a wedding at Cambridge Cottage, I designed this cake to complement the venue’s natural elegance, not overshadow it. For 2026, wedding cakes are moving away from excess and leaning into: • Architectural, cylindrical tiers • Hand-finished buttercream textures • Minimal, intentional florals • Macarons used as editorial accents Timeless design, balanced proportions, and flavours built with French technique, this is where 2026 is heading, and I’m here for it.

The star of this frame: the macaron tower. A frame full of softness, texture, light and memory. I’ve always believed that desserts at weddings shouldn’t just look beautiful, they should feel natural, intentional, and part of the atmosphere, not separate from it. •Currently taking wedding orders for celebrations from the end of May onwards• #wedding #macarontower #weddingcake #dubaiwedding #londonwedding
