“At Lucy Cake Design we're not trying to do the most amount of cakes, but to combine a family bakeshop with a couture design studio that delivers taste in style,” Nathalie Sorensen reveals.  “Lucy Cake Design - Taste in Style!”  She and her husband Matthew have teamed together to create the newest hot wedding bakery in Milwaukee - a venture that neither of them could have expected a few years ago. 

Now that they’re in the middle of flour and frosting, it’s hard to believe there could be any other path.  Nathalie began baking and decorating cakes at an early age in her mother Lucy’s kitchen.  “Mama Lucy is still a master baker, amazing artist and a wonderful teacher,” Nathalie explains, hoping she’ll be able to pass on the same to her new daughter, also named Lucy.  The bakeshop’s recipes are passed down from grandmother to mother, though tweaked at times to create “a delicate dessert that isn’t overwhelmingly sweet - being on a sugar overload can sometimes mask taste, and we respect our clients’ sophisticated palates too much to deliver anything less.”  To keep everything fresh, the couple bakes in small batches, and specifies that only the best ingredients are allowed in the creations.

Lucy Cake Design has a flair for dramatic, show stopping elegant fondant designs, but Nathalie and Matthew work to incorporate much of a couple’s individualism.  “Today’s bride and groom have so much style, and a wedding celebration has a soul and life of its own.  We try to showcase that with edible art.” 

When she first meets with a couple, Nathalie hopes they arrive hungry and ready to try a myriad of unique and classic flavors, from her favorite Vanilla Bean cake with Vanilla Swiss Meringue buttercream to Matthew’s chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting.  The initial consultation also serves as initial inspiration for the bakers.  “We try to get to know you as much as possible - your style, interests, and passions.  We want to hear about your journey and proposal, and see any photos, fabrics or objects that inspire your wedding.  We love adding subtle details to your cake that only you two may notice or understand.”

It’s those important personal details that makes the Sorensen’s touch just right - their desire to make your cake a spectacular wedding focal point, while never compromising on taste - will forever impress your guests with a gorgeous, edible showcase to your wedding story and style!
