The studio

Baked with love, planned with care

Abba Cakes was founded by Colombian-born pastry chef Laura Alejandra, a maker who believes cake is more than dessert. It is a moment shared, a memory made, and on your wedding day it should feel unmistakably yours.

We work with couples across the Wirral, Chester, and further afield. Whether you dream of classic elegance, modern minimalism, or something playful and personal, we listen first, then design a cake that fits your venue, palette, and palate.

Many couples come to us after seeing our work in Hoylake or Chester, or after a recommendation from a guest who still talks about the buttercream. However you find us, you will get the same attention to detail we bring to every celebration.

Design direction

Styles we love creating

Your venue, dress, and florals guide the look. These are starting points. Your cake will be designed from scratch, not picked from a catalogue.

  • Classic vintage-style wedding cake with piped swags and cherries

    Classic & elegant

    Smooth finishes, refined tiers, and timeless florals, perfect for formal venues and traditional celebrations.

  • Long rectangular wedding cake with refined white piping

    Modern & minimal

    Clean lines, subtle texture, and restrained palettes for contemporary spaces and city weddings.

  • Romantic buttercream wedding cake with piped flowers and gold accents

    Romantic & botanical

    Soft buttercream, fresh flowers, and organic shapes that photograph beautifully in natural light.

  • Bold mustard-toned wedding cake with vibrant wildflower cascade

    Bold & personal

    Colour, pattern, and playful details that reflect your personalities. Nothing generic, nothing copied.

The experience couples hope for

What we make

More than a single tier

From intimate gatherings to grand marquees, structure, portions, and styling are planned together so nothing feels like an afterthought.

  • Tiered wedding cakes

    Two to five tiers, sized for your guest list. Dummy tiers available where you want height without extra portions.

  • Cupcake towers

    Individual portions with a small cutting cake on top, easy to serve and ideal for mixed flavour preferences.

  • Dessert tables & extras

    Brownies, blondies, macarons, and mini bakes to complement your main cake and keep the sweet table stocked.

  • Dietary requirements

    Tell us about allergies and preferences early. We will advise what is possible and how to label portions clearly on the day.
