Bespoke design process

How I work with inspiration photos

Inspiration photos, Pinterest boards, Instagram links and screenshots are always welcome. They help me understand the style, colour palette, mood and details you love.

Every cake is still designed around your order — including the chosen size, number of servings, flavours, filling, finish and structure. Because of that, reference images are used as creative direction rather than as a line-for-line template for exact duplication.

I do not directly copy another cake artist’s work. Instead, I create an original cake that follows the agreed brief and captures the overall feel and key elements you love, while being carefully adapted to your chosen cake size, proportions and finish.

References are welcome

Feel free to send a single photo or a full mood board. I use references to understand your visual direction, not to reproduce another maker’s cake exactly line for line.

The agreed brief matters most

Your finished cake is created to match the agreed style, palette, shape and key decorative elements while also working beautifully for the size, flavour and structure you have ordered.

Small adjustments can happen

Minor changes in proportion, piping scale, texture or decorative placement may be made so the design stays balanced and polished as a real bespoke cake made for your event.

Good to know

If something is essential to the design, please flag it clearly when ordering. Exact wording, a specific shade, bow placement, cherries, pearls, florals or a topper can all be treated as must-have details when they are agreed in advance.

Lead times

Most designs: 7–14 days. Larger/custom pieces may need longer. Rush orders are possible if our schedule allows.
