Bonjour, I am Julien


My passion for food began in my father’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Beau Rivage, on the west coast of France. Very young, I learned the secrets of French cuisine and cake confectionery.

I opened French Wedding Cakes in 2004. I design, bake, deliver and set up every cake myself, and I would love to meet you for a tasting.

Showpiece cakes

Bring Julien your wildest idea

The Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, a cake that looks like your venue. Bring a photo, a sketch or just a feeling, and Julien will design it with you at your tasting.

Picture perfect, every tier delicious and just a gentleman to meet, so passionate about his work. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

We visited his premises and tasted 10 or so flavours and saw samples of his work. The quality and flavour of the cakes were exquisite. We felt in expert hands!
