The best ingredient in any wedding cake is a brief 
– here are 5 reasons why.

In BLOG by Kate LiebermanMarch 7, 2019

A wedding cake is more than just a cake – it’s a memorable marker of a couple’s union. Getting it right takes planning and expertise. That’s where a brief comes in. At Dolce Lusso Cakes, the brief is our most important ingredient. Before we bake anything, we use it to … Read More

Here’s more from the recent @diversityweddingwor Here’s more from the recent @diversityweddingworkshops shoot… this time captured by @paoladepaolaphotos. 

I just love how she captured the warm tones of @ashridgehouse.

Did you know that Ashridge House was once the royal residence of King Henry VIII and Princess Elizabeth 1? It’s staircase has also featured in the Harry Potter films as well as Sam Smith’s recent music video. But despite its history, the palatial Italianate style and impressive neo gothic architecture makes it an incredible backdrop for any wedding.

I count myself fortunate to be one of their preferred suppliers.

It’s all about the little details. The things th It’s all about the little details. The things that show people you care.

So, imagine the reaction of your guests if they saw this elegant tablescape… finished off with individual cakes that simply look too good to eat... I think they’d be rushing to find their seat 😂

I loved creating the delicate sugar orchids to complement @rosariaflowers work for our recent styled shoot at @thened. 

For me, my creations are my language of love - edible pieces of art to share with those you love.

And as quoted in the editorial on @lovemydress: “Individual portions of Marsala-infused fruit cakes finished off with hand-made sugar moth orchids, complementing the floral arrangements by Rosaria Flowers. Dainty and delicate yet bold and eye-catching.” 

What are your thoughts on individual cakes at a wedding?

Introducing… Espresso Martini. The latest flavou Introducing… Espresso Martini. The latest flavour to be added to our ‘Menu Degustazione’, inspired by the flavours of Italy.

I love coffee but had never tried an Espresso Martini… until recently. And since that day, all I’ve been thinking about is how I’d replicate it into cake form. 

And there was no better venue than @thened, with it’s sophisticated drinks menu, for it's launch.

So, this shoot cake had a real base - rich espresso combined with coffee liqueur and a hint of vanilla, paired with a smooth and silky Bailey’s ganache and finished off with espresso Italian meringue buttercream. Simply divine!

From my kitchen to yours… happy Valentine’s Da From my kitchen to yours… happy Valentine’s Day!
I get asked this regularly… ‘do you deliver?’.

Absolutely! My creations are delicate, with some items needing to be assembled onsite… like this one - a replica of the @glastofest Ribbon Tower where C&N got engaged 💕.

Being there means I am able to add any last minute touches or adjust the way a sugar flower sits, if needed, ensuring your cake is absolutely perfect. 

It’s a service I charge for but worth every penny, in my opinion. ☺️
