Atelier
A short list, made fresh every day.
We keep the counter fresh rather than crowded. Four rules apply to counter bakes and ordered cakes alike.
- 01
Baked the same day
Counter bakes are made every morning; nothing goes back out the next day.
- 02
Real butter, fruit in season
No margarine, no tinned fruit; when a season ends, the menu changes.
- 03
Ingredients in writing
Allergens on every card, and in the confirmation for ordered cakes.

Ask a questionHow far ahead should I order a cake?
At least 3 days for a single tier, 5 days for two tiers and 10 days for three tiered and wedding cakes. Around Christmas and Valentine’s Day our order book closes earlier.
How reliable is the allergen information?
The cards come from our own recipes. Flour, milk, egg, nuts and sesame are all used in the atelier, so traces cannot be ruled out; with a severe allergy, call us before ordering.

Your order is confirmed once the deposit is paid. You can change or cancel up to 72 hours before handover; after that the deposit is not refunded.
Do you deliver?
We deliver across London in a chilled van. Single tier cakes can also be collected; tiered cakes are delivered and set up by us.
Do you have gluten free or vegan options?
Our buckwheat loaf and macarons follow gluten free recipes and our cocoa cookie is vegan. Everything is made in one atelier, so with coeliac disease please call us first.
