Some weddings call for four immaculate white tiers. Others need 80 centimetres of red velvet and 6 kilos of fresh raspberries. I like both.
My work can be tiled, draped, ruffled, painted or piled high with fruit. The common thread isn’t one fixed look. It’s a cake with presence and flavour worth saving room for.
THE EXPERIENCE
I’ll help you choose the size, flavours and details, then arrange delivery and setup with your venue. You get to enjoy the day. I’ll take care of the cake.
01 |
Send me your date, venue, guest numbers and anything you already love. Inspiration photographs are welcome. If you don’t know what you want yet, that’s completely fine too.
02 |
I’ll prepare your proposal and help you choose flavours with as much thought behind them as the design on the outside.
03 |
I bake, decorate, transport and set up your wedding cake personally. There is no handover between the person who understands what you want and the person responsible for making it happen.
MEET LOUISE
My training took me from The Lanesborough and Westminster Kingsway to Michelin-starred Chapter One and Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s.
I started A Taste of Decadence in London in 2014 and brought it with me to the Algarve. The same training sits behind the beautiful parts and the practical ones: flavour, finish, portions, structure, transport and the realities of a Portuguese wedding in summer.
Today, I work from my private studio in the Algarve, making wedding cakes for couples across Portugal.

ENQUIRE ABOUT YOUR DATETHE USEFUL DETAILS
A few useful details about booking, tasting and getting your cake to the venue.
As soon as you have your wedding date and venue. Couples often book 12 to 18 months in advance, and I make every cake myself, so dates can go early. If your wedding is sooner, it’s still worth asking. You don’t need to have a design in mind before you enquire.
Once you’re happy with your proposal, a 50% non-refundable booking payment secures your date. The remaining balance is due one month before your wedding.
Yes, absolutely. We can plan everything from abroad, and I’m happy to hop on a video call if you’d like to meet me and talk through your ideas. If you’re visiting Portugal before the wedding, we can arrange a tasting at my studio. I can also coordinate delivery and setup with your planner or venue.
Yes. Choose one flavour for the whole cake or a different flavour for each tier. Explore the flavour menu.
The Cake Tasting Experience is €123 including IVA for two people at my private studio in Boliqueime. Taste five flavours of your choice with a glass of Prosecco or another drink arranged in advance. You’ll leave with a sample box to enjoy again later.
Yes. I personally transport and set up my wedding cakes across Portugal. Delivery and setup are quoted separately. I plan the timing with your venue or planner around the temperature and your scheduled cake cutting.
Tell me your guest numbers and whether the cake will be served as dessert or as smaller portions after the meal. I’ll recommend sizes to suit the way you plan to serve it.
Please discuss allergies or dietary requirements with me before booking a cake or tasting. Vegan and gluten-free options can be discussed. My studio is not an allergy-free kitchen and cross-contamination is possible.
I make everything from long cakes that run down the table to millefoglie and tiramisù. If you have something a little out of the ordinary in mind, tell me about it. I love being asked, ‘Could you make something like this?’ Sometimes those are the most interesting things to make.
“Thank you so, so much for the delicious cake for our wedding, it looked absolutely beautiful! And the two swans... I had so much joy seeing them, they were truly adorable!”
“Louise crafted a gorgeous and delicious cake and our guests loved being able to watch her put it together.”
“Our cake was better than we ever dreamed!”
“That cake was so good! I’m still dreaming of it!”
“Have never tasted cake like it.”
“From messages, to ordering, to payment and delivery, Louise made the whole process seamless”
Tell me your date, venue, guest numbers and anything you already love. You do not need a finished design or a perfectly arranged moodboard. If all you know is the cake cannot be an afterthought, we have enough to begin.
Every enquiry comes directly to me. As I design and make every cake myself, availability is limited.
