I recently had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the charming and incredibly lovely Valeria of Valeria Dolci Cakes, a luxury wedding cake business serving couples across London, the home counties and to be honest, whatever location your wedding cake needs to be!
Speaking with Valeria was a wholesome and uplifting experience. Her positive energy, sincerity, and deep passion for her craft are truly inspiring. She is not only a talented designer but also a person with a beautiful, kind-hearted spirit.
Valeria’s unique journey from architecture to wedding cake artistry has imbued her work with a sense of design, structure, and precision that is unmatched. Her cakes are more than desserts – they are bespoke creations that tell a story, a commissioned piece of edible art that reflects the personalities and dreams of the couples she works with.
In our conversation, Valeria shared how she pours her heart into every project she undertakes, taking on a limited number of orders to fully immerse herself in the creative process. Each cake she designs is a meticulous, tailor-made masterpiece, reflecting the distinctive narratives and emotions of her clients.

Valeria is nothing short of a true artist with a huge heart. Having transitioned from a successful career in architecture to creating breathtaking, delicious cakes and spectacular sugar flower masterpieces during Covid, Valeria hasn’t looked back since. We are utterly thrilled to have her as a member of the Love My Dress Directory.
A Passion for Sugar Flowers
Specialising in the artistry of sugar flowers, Valeria finds endless inspiration in the delicate beauty of blooms and the natural world. Her sugar flowers are sculpted with remarkable precision, capturing the intricate details of real-life blossoms. These flowers become an integral part of her designs, adding a timeless touch to her cakes, regardless of the season or location.
Valeria explained how her passion for sugar flowers allows her to evoke emotions and memories, transforming each cake into a sensory experience. Whether it’s the raw beauty of organic textures or the harmonious blend of flowers and flavours, every creation is designed to captivate and inspire.
Can you actually believe these are sugar flowers? The talent!
A Cake Maker’s Creative Journey
During our conversation, Valeria shared insights into what inspires and drives her artistry. From her background in architecture to the creative freedom she discovered through cake design, Valeria’s journey is one of passion and perseverance. Her love for design, attention to detail, and dedication to her craft shine through in every aspect of her work.
She also shared practical details about her process, including how she can provide wedding cake samples to couples no matter where they’re located, her ability to create pretty much any flavour imaginable, and her meticulous approach to ensuring her cakes are safely delivered to your wedding venue.
