Poppy Pickering - Ilkley

Thank you Dominique for creating the cake of our dreams. On the lead up to our wedding we must have ordered 5 cake sample boxes - we just couldn’t get enough! And our cake on the day certainly didn’t disappoint. We attended a wedding 2 weeks before with a Poppy Pickering cake and Dominique did an AMAZING job at making them look so different even with the same details. Our guests couldn’t get enough of the cake at coffee the following day and we can’t stop thinking about it.
Thank you again ❤️

Dominique made an absolutely wonderful wedding cake for my daughter and son in law’s wedding recently. Not only did it look fabulous, it tasted amazing and the attention to detail was outstanding. The sugar flowers were exquisite and everyone thought they were real flowers, that’s how perfect they are.
Dominique is so lovely to work with and made our ideas come to life. Thank you so much and I definitely would recommend for anybody looking for a show stopping wedding cake ❤️

We cannot recommend Dominique highly enough! She created the most stunning and delicious wedding cake for our special day – it was an absolute masterpiece. From the first consultation to the final product, Dominique was warm, professional, and full of creative ideas. She took our simple vision and elevated it beyond anything we could have imagined.

Not only did the cake look breathtaking, but it also tasted incredible – every layer was moist, flavourful, and beautifully balanced. Our guests are still talking about it!

Thank you, Dominique, for being such a memorable part of our wedding. Your talent, care, and attention to detail truly shine through in everything you do. If you’re looking for a wedding cake that’s both a work of art and absolutely delicious, Dominique is the one! Xxxxx

If you are thinking of using Dominique to make your wedding cake you will not be disappointed.
What an amazing experience, from the planning and the cake tasting to seeing the finished result.
We absolutely loved our cake, I can’t believe how talented she, is our sugared flowers were just out of this world.
Everything was perfect and just what we asked for.

Thank you Dominique from Haley and Paul Willis.

The BEST wedding cake!!

From being a young girl walking past the Poppy Pickering shop in Ilkley, I have always dreamt of having a Poppy Pickering wedding cake. So when my husband and I were wedding planning, we instantly contacted Dominique and she was an absolute DREAM to work with.

From the support from the first contact, through to the cake tasting, designing the wedding cake and help on styling the cake, Dominique was there every step of the way even down to the dilemma of when to cut the cake. Dominique solved all of our problems and gave us the wedding cake beyond our wildest dreams.

What topped it all off was the flavours of the cake!! Choosing the flavours of the cake was one of the best parts of the whole wedding planning process and we still order the cake sample boxes through the Poppy Pickering as we cannot get enough!!

Thank you so much Dominique for creating a cake which took our breath away, we have saved the sugar flowers and getting them framed to treasure forever xx

When we first starting to plan our wedding, I quickly realised that the one thing I cared most about was the cake. It was suggested to us to go with a London-based company to get what was desired however thankfully, one of our suppliers recommended Poppy Pickering. Dominique was local to our venue so it seemed sensible to check her out and... thank God we did! Not only is she unbelievably lovely but her creations are out of this world, I'll never understand how she can make such beautiful, life-like flowers out of sugar!
The whole process was so much fun, from getting to meet Dominique in her studio for cake tasting to sharing ideas and receiving CAD images that really helped to know what the final product would look like. Only, the finish result looked even better in person.
There are so many moments from the wedding day that I've already forgotten but one thing I'm certain of is that I will never forget my reaction to first seeing the cake and tasting it (heavenly).
Thank you so much Dominique for being so talented and so lovely!
Here's to future cakes orders from us!

Dominique was absolutely incredible to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and her beautiful cakes to anyone planning a wedding or a special event.

From start to finish she was super professional and responsive with any queries we had. The cake tasting at her shop in Ilkley was a great way to get excited for the wedding and a good way to build a picture of what the cake was going to look like on the day.

Our cake was absolutely stunning and we had lots of compliments on both the design and amazing sugar flowers as well as and most importantly the actual taste which was absolutely delicious and all of our guests got to enjoy and take home with them after the big day.

Dominique took time to understand the style of the day and even incorporated our stationary to ensure she matched everything for both the cake and the incredible macarons (which are a must have!) that we used for our wedding favours and name tags!

Thank you so much, we loved everything.

Dominique is an absolute artist when it comes to creating personalised wedding cakes. She managed to recreate the detail of my wedding dress onto the cake design and we were absolutely blown away when we saw it on the day. Not to mention it tasted divine. Dominique put her heart and soul into making our cake personal to us and listened so carefully to everything we wanted. Seeing our cake for the first time will forever be a highlight of our wedding day 💕

Thank you so much for making the cake of our dreams,

Daisy and Brad x
