About

Based in Bradford On Avon, Wiltshire, the team at The Cake Architect want your wedding day to be everything you imagined and more. They see that they can play a vital role in making that happen for you. They work closely with you to design and create the perfect wedding cake that will take centre stage during your celebration. David Waldren is a renowned artist and cake designer who brings passion and creativity to everything he does.

Experience

As a multiple award-winning cake designer, David is at the forefront of wedding cake trends throughout Wiltshire and far beyond. As an architecture student, he began examining the scientific and technical methods of creating works of art that would become the foundation of his wedding cake business.

In 2016 he won second prize at the Cake International Competition for his legendary unicorn bust cake. Later that same year, he became a finalist in The Great Vegan Bake-Off with salted caramel cupcakes.

Products offered

With a fine balance between the technical design and cutting edge creativity, David has taken the art of cake design to another level. No cake is too big or too small; The Cake Architect pride themselves on the close working relationship they have with their wedding couples and excellent level of service and dedication they provide.

You can have as many flavours as there are tiers, and if you fancy more, then you can always have some extra cupcakes or cutting cakes.

Fantastic and amazing 🤩

✨ From our very first cake tasting to the moment it arrived on our wedding day, everything was absolute perfection 🍰💍. David and the team made the whole process so personal and fun — nothing was ever too much trouble.

The details completely blew us away… our horses 🐎, our dogs 🐾, even a motorbike 🏍️ all brought to life in sugar! Not only was it the most beautiful cake we’ve ever seen, but it tasted incredible too 😍.

Thank you for creating something so magical and so us. ❤️

Amazing cake, amazing service!

The Cake Architect were brilliant to work with. They made us 2 cakes, with beautiful sugar flowers, one for our legal ceremony and one for the big party. The flavours were gorgeous, with a really wide list to choose from, we really struggled to decide! They were able to accommodate our vegan and gluten free guests as well, which was very much appreciated! The cakes look incredible and taste even better!

Beagle sugarpaste toppers

I met David at The Big Southwest Wedding Fair and instantly fell in love with his canine superpaste toppers! Since we couldn’t actually have my Maisie beagle at our wedding, I thought it would be lovely to have her in sugar form!

I sent David various photos so he could encapsulate Maisie’s character and he certainly did just that. They’re now taking pride of place in a glass display box in our dining room and will do so for years to come.

David was really helpful, quick to respond, super-talented and clearly has an eye for detail. I would highly recommend The Cake Architect, whether it be for a show-stopping cake sculpture or 3 mini beagle cake toppers - and if you haven’t checked out their Instagram, do it now!

Great Gluten-Free Cake

David is very professional - we had an initial consultation and he provided very clear sketches of our meeting. He helpfully coordinated directly with our florist for cake decoration. Our cake was gluten free and delicious - thank you The Cake Architect!

Yummy and beautiful - all at the last minute too!

Thank you to the team who supported us at the last minute to get a cake ready for our wedding. We were let down by another supplier who we didn't feel confident in. They welcomed us with open arms and managed to create exactly what we wanted. Incredible service and very tasty

Elegant and Classic

Very helpful and a joy to work with! We tasted everything and went back and forth with design a few times. Also the shop is in a lovely town.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
