How We Work together
How We Work
Choosing a cake is a personal decision. Many of the couples and clients who come to Love From Luisa are looking for something thoughtful, well-made, and created with care.
This page is here to give you a clear sense of what it’s like to work together, from first conversations through to the finished cake.
Starting with a conversation
You don’t need to arrive with a fully formed idea. The process begins with a conversation about your celebration, your preferences, and how you’d like your cake to feel on the day.
Some clients like to start by looking at wedding cake styles that resonate with them, using these as inspiration before shaping something more personal. Others only know what they don’t want. Both approaches are completely fine.
My role is to guide you through flavour, size and design choices at a comfortable pace, offering guidance where helpful.
How the process usually unfolds
Once we’ve had an initial conversation, the process moves forward gently and at a pace that feels right for you. While every project is slightly different, most cakes follow a similar rhythm.
An initial conversation
We begin by talking through your celebration, any ideas or inspiration you may have, and how you’d like your cake to feel on the day. Some clients come with reference images, others are still exploring. There’s no expectation to have everything decided at this stage.
Design, size and a clear quote
From our conversation, I’ll suggest a design direction, advise on size and portions, and provide a clear quote based on your needs. This gives you time to reflect and ask questions before making any decisions.
Flavours and tasting
Flavour choices are usually confirmed once the design of your cake is coming together. Between October and April, tasting boxes are available by post, so you can sample a selection of flavours at home and take your time deciding.
Each box includes six of my most popular wedding cake flavours. You may choose from these or select any option from the full wedding cake menu.
Securing your date
When you’re happy to proceed, your date is secured with a deposit. This confirms your place in my diary and allows me to begin planning your cake in more detail.
Final details and delivery
As your celebration approaches, we’ll confirm timings, venue logistics and any final details. On the day itself, delivery and setup are handled with care, so you can focus on enjoying your celebration rather than managing arrangements.

A calm, collaborative process
Throughout the process, the focus is on collaboration rather than instruction. You are involved as much or as little as you want to be, with clear guidance and thoughtful suggestions along the way.
Decisions are never rushed, and there is no pressure to add more than feels right for you. The aim is to create something personal and considered, without adding stress to an already busy planning period.
Designing with intention
Every cake is designed specifically for the person or couple it’s made for. Inspiration often comes from nature, colour, texture and the details of your day, rather than trends or set templates.
Working on a small scale allows time to focus on detail, balance and proportion, ensuring the finished cake feels cohesive with your celebration rather than competing for attention.
Thoughtful sourcing and sustainability
Many clients choose Love From Luisa because they value a more considered way of working. Sustainability here is part of the process rather than a selling point.
Working seasonally and sourcing ingredients with care helps keep designs grounded and reduces unnecessary waste. It also means each cake is made thoughtfully and intentionally, rather than produced quickly or in volume.
From kitchen to celebration
Once your design is agreed, your cake is made personally by me from my independent studio. Delivery and setup are handled with care, ensuring everything arrives as planned and sits comfortably within your space.
Clients often say that knowing this part of the process is taken care of allows them to relax and enjoy their day, confident that everything has been considered.
What you can expect
By the end of the process, you can expect a cake that feels personal, carefully made and right for your celebration. Just as importantly, you can expect the experience of getting there to feel calm, collaborative and reassuring.
