Tvoi EventWedding cake in Tuscany
We select a pastry chef, arrange the tasting and the live assembly of an Italian millefoglie, and plan the dessert table.
In the Italian tradition the wedding cake is often a millefoglie: layers of puff pastry with cream and berries, assembled in front of guests so that the layers stay crisp. It is striking, delicious and quite unlike the heavy cake many expect. We select a pastry chef, arrange a tasting, and discuss fillings, decoration and portions for your number of guests. Separately we plan how the cake will survive the heat and the journey to the villa, where it will be assembled and when it is brought out so that it does not melt.
What we arrange
Choosing the pastry chef
We show the work of several pastry chefs, agree the style of decoration and flavours, and choose one who can deliver the cake or assemble it on site.
Tasting
We arrange a sample of several fillings before the final choice. The tasting usually takes place a few weeks before the celebration.
Millefoglie at the celebration
The pastry chef comes to the venue and assembles the cake from layers, cream and berries just before it is brought out, so the pastry stays crisp.
Dessert table
Besides the cake we offer a table of small desserts, Tuscan biscuits and fruit, which works at the aperitivo or after dinner.
Heat and logistics
We arrange a fridge at the venue, the delivery time and a shaded place for the cake. In summer this decides what condition it reaches the guests in.
Allergies and diets
We gather information on intolerances and special diets in advance and ask the pastry chef to prepare separate portions or an alternative dessert.
Tell us about your celebration
Tell us the occasion, the date and the number of guests. We will suggest a format, a venue and vendors, and prepare a fixed written estimate before any work starts.
Why agree the cake in advance
The cake is part of the programme
We give the pastry chef the time of the cake and the order of the evening, so it is ready on time and the light and music match the moment of cutting.
Summer heat is accounted for
Cream cakes tolerate sun badly. We choose filling, place and time so that the cake looks and holds as intended.
The venue is ready for assembly
Assembly on site needs a table, a fridge and a little space. We check this with the villa owner in advance.
Taste is tested before the wedding
A tasting removes unpleasant surprises: you try the fillings, discuss sweetness and adjust the recipe.
Common questions about a wedding cake
What is millefoglie and why choose it for a wedding?
It is a cake of thin layers of puff pastry with cream, assembled just before serving so that it stays crisp. It is liked for its lightness and for the way it is put together in front of guests.
How far ahead should a wedding cake be ordered?
It depends on the pastry chef's workload, especially in high season. We advise agreeing early, together with the other vendors, and we confirm the date in the estimate.
Will the cake withstand the heat?
Cream tolerates sun poorly, so the cake is kept in a fridge and brought out at the last moment. For a millefoglie the layers and cream are assembled right on site.
How are portions calculated for the number of guests?
The pastry chef counts portions by the number of guests and by whether a dessert table is also served. We agree these figures in the estimate and account for children.
Can we order a cake for another kind of celebration?
Yes, we arrange a cake for a birthday, a jubilee or an anniversary as well. We choose flavour and decoration for the occasion and the number of guests.
