The Margot Wedding Cake London | Gold Leaf & Textured Buttercream Luxury Wedding Cake

Introducing The Margot — a wedding cake of serene, timeless luxury. Quietly confident, effortlessly beautiful, and utterly refined, The Margot is the cake for the bride who understands that the most enduring elegance is never loud — it simply glows.

Where others decorate their surfaces, The Margot transforms hers. Gold leaf is laid directly onto the cake and then worked over with softly textured buttercream that cascades downwards in an organic, painterly flow — creating a finish that is at once structured and free, opulent and understated. The result is something that feels less like decoration and more like art.

Crowned with exquisite hand-crafted white sugar flowers of extraordinary delicacy, The Margot is a cake that will be remembered long after the last slice has been savoured.

Available as a two-tier or three-tier cake to suit your guest numbers and vision.

Each tier of The Margot is finished in smooth ivory buttercream, into which gold leaf is applied directly to the surface — its warmth and lustre visible beneath the softly textured buttercream that is then worked over it and allowed to cascade organically downwards in a continuous diagonal flow across all tiers. The technique creates a breathtaking layered effect — gold glimmering through ivory buttercream in the most painterly, artisanal way imaginable. A delicate gilded edge crowns the top tier, adding a refined finishing flourish. Beautifully hand-crafted white sugar flowers are positioned at varying heights across the cascade — each one extraordinarily lifelike, with softly ruffled petals of the most delicate artistry — adding a romantic, sculptural counterpoint to the cake's warm, organic finish.

Please note: the two-tier cake features one sugar flower, whilst the three-tier cake features two sugar flowers positioned across the tiers.

Please note that wedding cake orders require a minimum of 2 weeks' notice. We recommend ordering as early as possible to secure your date, particularly during peak wedding season.

Cake Care

Our cakes never contain any gelatine or preservatives unless stated. As wedding cakes are often on display for several hours before cutting, we recommend the following to keep your cake looking and tasting its best:

• Display your cake in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight at all times
• Where possible, aim to cut the cake within 4 hours of display — particularly important during the summer months
• If displaying during summer, we strongly recommend keeping the cake indoors in an air-conditioned room
• Avoid placing your cake near heat sources, open windows, or in direct sun, as this can cause the buttercream to soften and decorations to shift

Your cake will keep fresh for up to 3 days from delivery when stored correctly.

Your cake will come with our illustrated cake-cutting guide showing you how to cut a tall cake. 

To preserve any leftover cake; place in an airtight container with a slice or 2 of white bread and eat it within a week or 2 - refresh the bread as it dries out. For longer preservation, our cakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw out overnight in the fridge and ear within 2-3 days. Don’t forget to place the cake in an airtight container with a slice of white bread. Alternatively, wrap your cake with cling film/foil and place it in the fridge. 

Returns

Our cakes are lovingly baked to order and cannot be returned unless there is a fault with the product. Any concerns must be raised at the point of delivery so our driver can assist. We are unable to accept responsibility for issues reported after delivery. Where a refund is applicable, the full item must be returned as required by law. Please inspect your cake carefully upon receipt to ensure you are completely satisfied.
