Hello, my name is Alison and I have a passion for design, fashion and edible art. I started ‘The Cake Studio’ in 2021 (which has always been my dream) after spending over 23 years working in Automotive Design, travelling to some amazing countries and working on some of the most beautiful cars in the world, from Bentley to Bugatti. In 2025 I rebranded as Alison Kenlock Couture Cakes.

For as long as I can remember I have been making and decorating cakes for friends and family. Anything from birthdays to weddings. I love structure and architectural form and aim to make cakes that are truly out of the ordinary. My objective is to design a cake that truly reflects you both and your vision for your wedding. The whole process, from creating the very first hand-drawn sketches, to seeing the finished product in your wedding venue, fills me with so much joy.

This new direction in my life has given me a multitude of opportunities, from working with some of the very best wedding venues and industry professionals to my amazing couples who have trusted me to deliver their dream cakes. I have won multiple awards for my skills and been featured in a number of print publications - which has been exhilarating! I could not have done any of this without the help and support of my husband, Craig, who works alongside me when I throw a gravity defying design into the mix. I call him my “Chief Cake Engineer”!

I now live in Mid Wales with Craig, three cats and a pony called Belle, or RooRoo, as she is more commonly known. I am extremely proud of the business we have created and would love to work alongside you to create the most perfect edible centrepiece for your big day.

Let’s get started!

  • "Alison has been beautiful, taking time out to get to know us, and hand-sketch some beautiful designs for our cake. Oh, and her cake flavours taste incredible... that's the hardest part to decide on!

    Gemma & Craig

  • "Cake was absolutely fantastic! It matched with my decor, bouquet and everything!"

    Alicia & James

  • "From the very first email, right up until the day of our wedding (and even after that!), Alison was incredible. We can't recommend Alison enough - she is just amazing!"

    Kirsten & Curt

  • "When we saw the cake we were blown away and couldn't have asked for anything better. We are so glad we chose Alison and would 100% return for another cake in the future."
