Pasticceria Lorena

‘Pasticceria’ is Italian for Patisserie and ‘Lorena’, well thats me! I am an Italian pastry chef specialising in authentic Italian wedding cakes and pastries using the finest Italian ingredients, everything is made by hand, by me, as you can’t beat that artisan touch. Think, fresh creams and creme patisserie, puff pastry and choux pastry, think Italian liqueurs and flavours, in fact, think BAKE OFF The Professionals! I thrive on working with couples to create showstopping dessert tables that make a beautiful feature at your reception and delicious and unique addition to your wedding food. I find great pleasure in helping couples think outside the box when it comes to their wedding cake. My clients are definitely foodies who don’t like icing and dare to say “arrivederci” to the traditional tiered wedding cake. YES, THAT'S RIGHT! I DO NOT MAKE TIERED WEDDING CAKES, AND I DO NOT USE ICING OR BUTTERCREAM IN ANYTHING I MAKE! I DON'T MAKE DOUGHNUTS, BROWNIES OR ANY OTHER AMERICAN OR BRITISH STYLE CAKES. Most of my work consists of a show stopping Italian gateau style feature cake that is complimented by a selection of mouthwatering mini pastries, but my services do not stop at baking, working closely with a wedding stylist, I design and set up the complete bespoke display to suit the theme, style and colour scheme of your venue and day. My most popular cake is my traditional Italian wedding cake, layers of the lightest sponge soaked with a liqueur of choice and layered with lashings of pastry cream. These gateaux style cakes are decorated with creams, meringues, fresh, fruits, chocolate, flowers and pastries. I love to be challenged so if you have an idea you want brought to life, just ask!
