The Ophelia Wedding Cake London | Sage Green & Gold Luxury Wedding Cake

Introducing The Ophelia — a wedding cake of extraordinary, unexpected beauty. Rich, earthy, and deeply romantic, The Ophelia is the cake for the couple who dares to step away from the conventional and embrace something altogether more extraordinary.

Deep sage green meets warm champagne. Rustic texture meets gilded artistry. Wild botanical beauty meets the most refined of finishing touches. The Ophelia is a study in contrasts — and in their meeting, something truly magnificent is born.

This is the cake for the bride who finds beauty in nature, poetry in colour, and magic in the unexpected. A wedding centrepiece that feels as though it belongs in a Pre-Raphaelite painting — ethereal, abundant, and achingly beautiful.

Available exclusively as a two-tier cake, with a statement base tier for maximum drama and presence.

The generous base tier is finished in a richly textured deep sage green buttercream, its surface scattered with fragments of warm gold leaf that catch the light in the most beautiful, organic way. The upper tier rises in smooth warm champagne buttercream, adorned all over with hand-crafted palette knife buttercream petals — each one individually applied and finished with a delicate gilded rose gold edge that adds a warm, luxurious shimmer to the textural surface. Cascading across the join of both tiers, a breathtaking arrangement of ethereal white wafer paper flowers and dramatic gilded branch stems creates a wildly romantic, artistic focal point — at once bold and utterly graceful.

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.
