Vespre Fall 2026 · Le Rucher opens September 1.

An evening still-life: a tall ivory wedding cake with cascading lily-of-the-valley and dark chocolate accents, beside two lit beeswax candles on a travertine slab against a warm plaster wall.
Weddings

Six a year.

The room is small by design.

A wedding cake is a ritual object before it is a cake. The day will be photographed, served, eaten, and remembered in pieces — but the cake stands in the middle of the room for the moment the couple steps toward it. That is the moment we design for.

I take six weddings a year. The number is small on purpose: enough to give each one the slow hours it asks for, few enough that the work can be made by hand and not by a machine. The conversation begins twelve months out. We talk through the venue, the season, the menu, the dress, the music. The form follows from there.

The price is from $24 per serving. The minimum is sixty servings, the maximum is two hundred. Beyond that, the cake stops being a cake and becomes architecture, and architecture is for a different studio.
