Hi, I’m Louise, an Irish chef and wedding cake designer based in the Algarve, Portugal.

​

Your wedding cake should stop the room. It should also be the dessert your guests keep talking about. I was a chef before I became a cake designer, so flavour, texture and balance matter just as much to me as the finished look.

​

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.

​

Today, I design, bake and set up every wedding cake myself. There’s no fixed house style: some couples want immaculate white tiers, others want colour, texture or a cake piled high with fruit. Each one should have presence and give your guests a reason to save room.
