“Our cake was absolutely sublime and loved by everyone, someone actually didn’t believe it was a real cake as it was so beautiful!”
Wedding Cake Design
Romantic Modernism – clean, balanced, artistic.
Cocoa & Whey wedding cakes are designed with a focus on modern elegance, soft romantic detail and beautifully balanced proportions. Each design begins with clean, architectural lines and is finished with artistic detailing that feels refined rather than ornate. The overall style is intentionally understated, allowing texture, movement and natural form to take centre stage.
Palette‑knife painted finishes, soft buttercream textures, delicate piping and sculptural elements are used to create designs that feel both contemporary and timeless. Colours are kept gentle and harmonious, with an emphasis on natural tones, layered neutrals and subtle, modern pastels. Every detail is considered so the cake feels cohesive from every angle.
Cocoa & Whey designs are created to complement a wide range of wedding styles – from intimate garden celebrations to elegant country‑house weddings – always with a focus on balance, artistry and a beautifully clean finish.

Consultations
A wedding cake is a deeply personal part of your day, and the consultation is where we begin shaping it together. Once your enquiry has been received and availability confirmed, we’ll arrange a relaxed consultation to explore your ideas in more depth.
During this conversation, we’ll look at the elements that matter most to you – your venue, flowers, styling, colour palette and the atmosphere you want your cake to bring to the day. You’re welcome to share inspiration images, mood boards or any early thoughts you’re drawn to; equally, if you’re not sure where to begin, I’ll guide you through shapes, sizes, finishes and design styles that complement your wedding aesthetic.
Consultations are held online, allowing us to talk through everything at a time that suits you. Following this, you’ll receive a refined design proposal with sketches, flavour options and portion guidance, so you can see your cake taking shape with clarity and confidence.
Tasting Boxes
Your wedding cake should taste every bit as beautiful as it looks. My tasting boxes allow you to explore the flavours that will shape your cake, all prepared with the same ingredients and techniques I use for your final design.
Each box includes a curated selection of flavours presented as individual samples, so you can experience the textures, fillings and balance of each cake with clarity. You’re welcome to choose your own combination, or I can guide you towards flavours that complement your wedding season, styling and menu.
Tasting boxes are delivered to your home on an agreed date, allowing you to enjoy them at your leisure. They’re a lovely way to share the experience together and begin imagining how your chosen flavour will sit within your wedding day.
Once you’ve tasted your selection, we’ll refine your design proposal with your chosen flavour, portion guidance and any adjustments you’d like to make before booking.
Booking Process
Once you’ve chosen your design and flavour, securing your wedding date is simple and fully guided. I take on a limited number of weddings each season to ensure every cake receives the time and attention it deserves, so early booking is always recommended.
To reserve your date, a non‑refundable booking fee is required. This confirms your place in my diary and allows me to begin preparing the finer details of your design. The remaining balance is due one month before your wedding day, along with final confirmation of guest numbers, delivery timings and any last adjustments to your styling.
You’ll receive a full schedule outlining each stage – from design refinement to delivery – so you always know exactly what happens next. My aim is to make the process calm, clear and enjoyable, allowing you to focus on the excitement of your day while I take care of the details.
Availability
I take on a limited number of wedding cakes each season to ensure every design receives the time, care and attention it deserves. This allows me to work closely with each couple, refine every detail, and create a cake that feels truly personal to your day.
Availability varies throughout the year, with peak summer dates often booking well in advance. If you already have your venue and key suppliers confirmed, it’s always best to enquire early so I can reserve your date and begin shaping your design with you.
Once your booking fee is received, your wedding date is fully secured in my diary, and I’ll guide you through each stage of the process with clarity and calm. If you’re planning a destination wedding or a celebration outside Dorset, I can advise on availability and logistics for those dates too.
