Handmade Wedding Cakes in London

I am Krishma Maya Mandalia, the owner of Maya Dahlia Cakes. Baking has been my passion for more than 20 years and every handmade wedding cake I create for couples in London is carefully designed by myself and constructed with my own hands. Nothing leaves my kitchen until I am 100% happy with it, because I understand how much your bespoke, luxury wedding cake means to you, and never take that wonderful responsibility lightly.

From Your Wedding Day Vision to the Finished Cake

Krishma draws every cake by hand first. Palette, textures, where each element sits, all settled on paper. It is why the cake that arrives looks like the one you were shown.

  1. I The idea
    Krishma sketching a cake design in a notebook at her studio table

    A conversation, a venue, a guest number and a child's favourite book. It starts on paper.

  2. II The drawing

    Peter Rabbit garden, first birthday. Six colours pinned down, textures specified, every balloon and carrot placed before a single tier is baked.

  3. III The cake
    The finished two tier first birthday cake with hand painted Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck, a sugar balloon garland and the name Aikam

    Hand painted characters, a balloon garland built in sugar, and the name where the drawing said it would be.
