Lydia Kraitman Cakes in Bristol and Somerset

About Lydia Kraitman Cakes

Lydia Kraitman Cakes creates elegant, seasonal wedding cakes and dessert tables inspired by the flavours and landscape of Somerset. Each design is handmade from scratch using locally sourced ingredients, with a focus on flavour, texture, and detail. From tiered cakes to abundant dessert tables, every piece is crafted with precision, creativity, and care.

Lydia Kraitman Cakes specialises in modern, seasonal wedding cakes and dessert tables that combine craftsmanship, flavour, and understated elegance. Each design is guided by balance and simplicity, using ingredients that reflect Somerset’s orchards, farms, and fields.

A professionally trained pastry chef, Lydia spent years working in high-end hotels before founding her business, bringing refined technique and precision to every bake. Ingredients are sourced locally wherever possible, with many flavours inspired by produce grown in her own garden - from orchard fruits and edible flowers to herbs and berries. Every cake is baked, filled, and finished by hand, using thoughtful combinations such as lemon, chocolate fudge, pear and caramel, and strawberry and white chocolate.

Dessert tables create a sense of abundance and discovery, layered with miniature desserts that reflect the season. Each table can be paired with a cutting cake, with styling and florals available on request.

For smaller celebrations, Lydia offers afternoon teas and grazing tables for intimate weddings and elopements, featuring Somerset-inspired flavours like cheddar and herb scones, brie and caramelised pear sandwiches, and mini tarts.

Every commission is delivered and styled by Lydia herself, ensuring seamless coordination with venues and suppliers. Her approach is calm, professional, and detail-driven, offering clients both structure and warmth throughout the process.

Rooted in a respect for flavour, craftsmanship, and the environment, Lydia Kraitman Cakes brings a thoughtful and sustainable touch to every event, creating food that looks beautiful and tastes even better.
