Custom wedding cakes for destination weddings in Florence, Tuscany, Rome, and beyond.
There’s a special kind of magic that happens when a couple chooses to get married in Italy. The golden light, the food, the music, the centuries of art and romance woven into the landscape… it all becomes part of your story. And when I design a wedding cake, my goal is to bottle up that magic and turn it into something unforgettable.
This post is a little different. Less about advice, and more of a love letter to the work I’ve poured my heart into over the past year. I’m so happy to share my 2025 wedding cake portfolio with you. It’s a celebration of everything I adore about working in Italy: the beauty, the details, the couples, and of course—the cake.

What You’ll Find Inside
Looking back what strikes me most is how unique each cake was. This is part of the work I love. Every couple arrives with a different story, a different venue, a different idea of what beautiful means. The best cakes help couples to create amazing memories for their guests. Surprise and originality are a big part of creating that moment.
This new portfolio brings together some of my favorite designs from weddings across Florence, Tuscany, Lake Como, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast. You’ll find cakes like my five tiered Renaissance design inspired by Florentine tapestry, a dreamy cake design at Villa Cimbrone in Ravello, and a wow factor luxury sugar flower cake at Borgo Santo Pietro near Siena.
At Borgo Santo Pietro near Siena the cake was inspired by a rich garden setting. Hand painted with gorgeous leaves in the background and hundreds of sculpted sugar flowers designed to look like they were blooming right from the cake. Sugar roses, peonies, sweet peas… each sculpted by hand with the intent that guests could explore and interact with them up close with a 360 degree angle.
Ravello asked for the opposite kind of thinking. At Villa Cimbrone you are working with one of the most photographed views in Italy. Think awe inspiring and sweeping sea-side views. Add to that a contemporary couple who wanted something both memorable and simple. The gravity defying cake added both levity and drama to the moment.
Then there was the five tiered Renaissance design inspired by Florentine tapestry , which is the sort of commission I could happily spend a month on. Florence gives you five hundred years of pattern to draw from, and the pleasure is in translating something woven into something edible. The inspiration from that was originally taken from a tapestry on display at the iconic Santa Maria Novella museum.
Not every cake this year was formal. The macramè inspired bohemian cake came from a couple who wanted texture rather than polish, and the crystal and orchid design went somewhere else entirely, cool and architectural where the others were soft.
What I noticed this year
Buttercream had a comeback. For years fondant cakes dominated trends, but this year saw a return to buttercream, sometimes with smooth surfaces but just as often with modern texture or classic piping techniques. It can make delivery more challenging in the Italian heat, but with careful planning it adds a retro and homemade feel to contemporary cake design. If you are weighing the two, I wrote about the difference between buttercream and fondant in more detail.
Because I deliver throughout Italy, the portfolio brings together designs from across Florence, Tuscany, Lake Como, Rome, Puglia and the Amalfi Coast. There are cakes for almost every type of venue from grand Italian villas, palazzi. quaint farmhouses, and historic gardens. Because I work with custom cakes you’ll find everything from modern architectural designs to classic romantic tiered wonders designed to reflect both a sense of place and the couple’s own story. There is a look behind the scenes at how a cake comes together in my Florence studio. And there are sugar flowers, contemporary textures, and a few surprises.
Each cake is made not just to look beautiful in photographs, but to feel deeply personal when it is finally sliced under the stars.

What It’s Like to Work With Me – Creating Your Dream Cake in Italy
I want the cake to be the easiest yes in your planning journey.
I’ve spent almost 20 years designing wedding cakes in Florence and throughout Italy, and while the work is creative, it’s also deeply logistical. I understand what it means to plan from afar, and my clients often tell me how much they value clear, kind communication.
I have spent almost two decades designing luxury event cakes in Florence and throughout Italy. While my work is creative, the reason venues like the Four Seasons, Borgo Egnazia and Rosewood trust me is I am also deeply logistical. I understand what its like to work with clients who are coming from a distance with high expectations. Weddings are big investments and there are no do overs. It means you have to get it right every time.
It’s not just about being able to make one great cake. At this level, it’s about being able to do it consistently, no matter what. Experience is what makes the difference between a smooth event and a stressful crisis. A cake has to survive a summer afternoon, a mountain road, a venue with no lift and changing schedules. Getting that right is as much a part of the design as the flowers on it.
My work has been recognised with a shortlist for the ACE Cake Designer Award, Best in Italy from Destination Weddings and Honeymoons Abroad, and Cakemaker of the Year. My events are regularly featured in Vogue, Elle, and Style Me Pretty . I deliver across Italy, from Tuscany to the Amalfi Coast, and I work with local and international couples and planners alike.
