There was only one place that I wanted to go for our wedding cake and that was Cake Architect. David is a complete genius - I honestly don't know how he does it! I thoroughly enjoyed our consultation (not to mention the tasting) and the end result was an absolute showstopper. Our guests could not stop talking about the cake (five tiers with flowers and gold leaf) and no one could stop eating it either! It was a huge talking point / centrepiece on the day and, unsurprisingly, it was absolutely delicious too. I have already been back to Cake Architect since and will definitely go back to David for

Myself and my husband can't explain how good our wedding cake was that David made for us. We had a chocolate drip cake and cupcakes, and it was honestly better than we ever could have pictured and dreamt of tasting! Everyone said how amazing the cakes were and even a week later, what little cake we have left is still moist and tastes wonderful. We even had 2 GF cakes made, and they got a huge thumbs up too. David got everything done perfectly, his service is exceptional, I cannot recommend enough! Can't wait to eat more of his cakes soon!

Beautiful wedding cake, David really understood our dragonfly brief. We had to flavours lemon and raspberry and white chocolate both were delicious but raspberry and white chocolate was amazing and all leftovers have stayed with us. Looking to order more cakes in the future. Thank you
