Lisa Notley Cake Design Baking beautiful & deliciously decadent wedding cakes in the heart of rural Dorset
I am cake mad! lisa

I love whipping up a sugary masterpiece, creating beautiful sugar flowers and perfecting each and every cake that leaves my farmhouse kitchen in the heart of the Dorset countryside. I trained as a chef, always finding myself deviating towards the pastry section of the kitchen, this led me to set up, what is now Lisa Notley Cake Design in 1999. My cakes are made to be eaten, and I believe deeply in

the importance of using time tested recipes in which the quality of ingredients is never compromised. In 2014 I celebrated 15 years of designing cakes, to mark this milestone I created three unique flavour combinations using locally sourced ingredients and my “Inspired by Dorset” range of flavours was added to my cake menu. A favourite thing about my job is meeting the couples, hearing about their plans and working closely with them to design a cake which is unique and perfect for them & I love being a creative part of the most important day of their lives. Working from my farmhouse kitchen, I offer a relaxed & unhurried personal service, from the initial consultation to the delivery and set up of your cake. I hope that you feel inspired by my cakes and I look forward to working with you to create the cake of your dreams. Do contact me with any questions or to book your complimentary consultation.

I'm obsessed with this garden to table cake trend, swapping tiers for a horizontal canvas, this time finished with ribbons of buttercream, apricots, limes, roses, raspberries, petals & dainty daisies. It's a little messy, but intentional, perfect for a relaxed summer wedding or a night before party

I’ve written a recipe book - 'If it's on a plate'

What began as a Christmas gift for our children, developed over the last year into my first recipe book, full of my cake and family recipes, most of which I've never shared before.

At the start of 2025, it hit home that our children would be the other side of the world for Christmas; with Als & Lottie off on a 18-month working adventure in New Zealand and Mads & Cal taking a six-month sabbatical to go travelling. A plan was made! The idea was a printed notepad of my treasured family recipes to share with them.

The idea grew into this very book. It's filled with family favourites, some of my wedding cake flavours, and recipes collected from our family and friends and the story behind the title; "If it's on a plate". It's been a great year of 'authoring', and I'm thrilled to share my book with you all.

Thank you to my husband, Si, and our friends who have shared some much loved recipes with me to include.

After a wonderful Christmas gifting them to our nearest and dearest, and finally sharing my secret with Mads & Als (which came with alot of tears and joy!), I have a few copies available to buy. The book is £25.00 plus £6.00 UK P&P. If you would like a copy, please message or email me.

With love,
Lisa

A and her mum were an absolute delight to work with while bringing her dream wedding cake to life. We took inspiration from her stunning Anna Bridal gown, which was adorned with delicate lace and 3D flowers. I had a bespoke stencil created to replicate the intricate lace details and hand-crafted the dainty sugar flowers to complement the design

C's dress was adorned with the most beautiful embossed detailing, which we echoed on the couples cake. We used a bespoke stencil and soft ivory shimmer to recreate the detail, which reflects the dress perfectly.

Waking up to a cold, frosty morning today, took me back to this stunning winter wonderland wedding just before Christmas. From the frosted table decorations to the twinkling trees & the white mountain scene wedding, every detail was magical
