Trusted to deliver for
The Bespoke Studio
A manufacturer, not just a maker.
As the world's leading designer and manufacturer of luxury cake stands, separators and event props, we don't outsource the hard part — we own it. Concept sketches, structural engineering, fabrication and finishing all happen under one roof on the south coast of England.
That control is why hotels, film studios and global brands come to us when an idea has to be made real, made beautiful, and made to perform. Decades of combined craftsmanship, modern manufacturing, and a complimentary design consultation on every project.
Capabilities
What we can make
In-house design, engineering and manufacture — across metal, acrylic, wood, moulds and 3D print. Virtually unlimited possibilities, all under one roof.
Metal Fabrication
Food-grade stainless steel, carbon steel and premium metals — cut, formed, welded and polished into plinths, hoops, separators and structural frames built to carry serious weight.
Precision Acrylic
Ultra-polished, crystal-clear perspex and PMMA — fillable tiers, footed stands, floating-illusion pieces and oversized formats, finished to a flawless optical edge.
Hardwood & Timber
Scandinavian birch, solid oak, English pine and reclaimed timber — turned, crafted, engraved and sealed for warm, natural, rustic-luxe display pieces.
Custom Colour & Finish
Premium powder-coating in any colour, plus mirror, brushed, matte and metallic finishes — matched precisely to your brand palette or event scheme.
Personalisation & Engraving
Names, dates, monograms, logos and bespoke acrylic inserts — laser-cut and engraved to turn a display piece into a branded keepsake.
Structural Engineering
Floating tiers, cantilevers and gravity-defying displays via our signature PropSecure® system — the engineering that makes the impossible look effortless.
Custom Moulds
Bespoke silicone and resin moulds for repeatable, intricate detail — sugar, chocolate, fondant and decorative casts created from your unique shapes, motifs and branding.
3D Printing & Prototyping
Rapid 3D-printed prototypes and production parts — we model, print and refine complex geometries, turning a concept into a physical piece you can hold in days, not weeks.
Design & CAD
Full in-house design: concept sketches, technical CAD drawings and digital renders so you can see, refine and sign off your piece before a single material is cut.
Signature Case Study
A ten-tier Great Gatsby centrepiece, fit for a celebrity celebration.
We partnered with Nicola at Hall of Cakes to create a bespoke tiered gold cake stand — with elegant black accents — to carry an extraordinary ten-tier Great Gatsby-themed cake for Billie Faiers' 30th birthday at the exclusive Hedsor House.
The brief demanded a centrepiece as striking as the occasion and robust enough to support a genuinely monumental cake. Our piece did both, blending seamlessly into the grandeur of the event.
Alongside Bubblegum Balloons & Cupid Creative Event Décor
We hold the record for the world's most expensive cake stand.
We designed, engineered and handcrafted the world's most expensive cake stand — both the mirror-polished stand and its plinth, made entirely in our workshop.
Hand-set with over 25,000 Swarovski® crystals and officially valued at $20,000, it was unveiled as the centrepiece installation at Cake International — earning an official Guinness World Records® title.
