Pasticceria Lorena

Where do I begin...Lorena prepared us the most beautiful dessert table for our wedding in August. 4 mini desserts (menu attached) and a traditional Italian cake for our cutting" cake... and it was out of this world

What an amazing day we had. Lorena made it so special. A lovely display. People were talking about the delicious pasticcini for weeks afterwards. Emanuela grew up in Sardinia so it made her day.Thank you so much Lorena xx

Our wedding cake table looked and tasted amazing. Lorena also made everything straight forward and stress free. Thank you xx

Last Friday we picked up our first order of Lorena’s pasticcini, which were in pairs cannoli al pistacchio, bignè al cioccolato, babà al limoncello and zuppa inglese. They were delicious, light and tasty. It’s great to be able to buy authentic Italian patisserie in the Midlands! Lorena’s patisserie club is such a great idea!

We honestly could not be happier with Lorena!!We are an Italian couple with a family background in patisserie, so when we decided to get married in the UK, having a pure Italian cake was essential for us. We never liked the English buttercream, and we wanted to gift our guests an excellent authentic Italian cake to make them feel at home.We contacted Lorena and had a few challenges for her, such as long-distance delivery, a list of allergens, a picky husband-to-be, and a coeliac mum of the bride.All this did not discourage Lorena, who not only provided us with a fantastic three tiers cake but also made sure the top tier was utterly gluten-free, so my mum could enjoy the cake without feeling left out!All three tiers were made of a light-as-a-feather pan di Spagna, an exquisite lemon-flavoured cream and fresh fruits on top (fabulous figs!). All our guests were so excited to have a proper Italian cake at the wedding, and my mum could not even tell the difference between the GF cake and the regular one!!The cake was visibly amazing, the white chocolate around was delicious and truly high quality, the figs and the fruit were fresh and plump, and the pan di Spagna was melting in the mouth.Lorena was also available to deliver the cake, and although we didn't use this service, she was in contact with my friend all the time and ensured the cake was delivered safely.We honestly couldn't recommend Lorena enough!! If you are looking for a REAL Italian wedding cake, a GF option, or just some pasticcini (we had a small selection, and it was like going back to when I was five and my dad used to buy them on Sundays back from church)... Lorena is the right person!!We just wished there was another Lorena in London so we could enjoy your delicacies every week!Thank you so much Lorena for being part of the most beautiful day of our lives!

We chose Lorena to provide the sweet treats for our wedding reception last year and wow, she did not disappoint! From the consultation (which came with samples!!) to the display on the day, the whole experience was perfect. The level of detail in the design of each little piece of authentic Italian magic, matched only by the abundance of freshness and flavour of each. The display was immaculate, so much so it was hard to believe they're all handmade by Lorena herself, to the original family Italian recipes.Her work was faultless and the friendly, courteous service provided was impeccable! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lorena to anyone thinking of choosing her service for their special day!Thankyou Lorena x

Just wow! Lorena's pasticcini and tortas are incredible! We have always loved going to Italy, especially enjoying the local cuisine. So when we heard about Lorena and that she catered for weddings it was a no brainer that we had to book her! We initially ordered a limoncello torta for a family birthday and then one of her monthly pastry club boxes, all of which were amazing! The initial consultation due to covid was remote and we collected a wedding tasting box to try, and then had a zoom call to discuss our ideas. Cannoli's are a firm favourite of ours so we knew that we wanted to combine our wedding cake with an Italian pastry table for our guests to also enjoy. We were then able to have a in person consultation closer to the wedding where we got to eat more of her delicious pastries and cakes. She saw our vision perfectly and our wedding cake and pastry table couldn't have been more perfect for what we wanted. All of our guests said what a lovely idea it was to have a dessert table alongside our cake and that it wasn't something they had necessarily seen at other weddings. When near enough all of the desserts were eaten on the night you know its a sign that everyone enjoyed them! We couldn't recommend Lorena enough and cant wait to order more of her delicious creations! Thank you so much! Mr & Mrs Skeates xxx

My email (below) to Lorena after what was the most delicious and creative dessert table I’ve ever seen. Her work is incredible and from initial consultation to delivery on our wedding day, Lorena went above and beyond what we could ever have imagined. I can guarantee there’s nobody else like her in and around Nottinghamshire!Hi Lorena,What a day it was! It couldn’t have gone any better than it did and we are 100% still on a high from it, but also a bit blue that the day’s over. We’d do it every weekend if we could and we would DEFINITELY have you create such a beautiful dessert table every weekend, too.We had so many compliments on your work and how delicious your cakes were; they didn’t last very long on the table and I had to put a couple of my ushers on guard because the guests couldn’t wait to tuck in! You definitely went down a treat (pun intended)! We couldn’t have imagined it looking, and tasting any better than it did, you really do have a talent and we’re blessed to have found you and have you be such a big contribution to our perfect day. We honestly can’t speak highly enough of you.Thank you for your kind words and THANK YOU for producing such a beautiful table! You are a star and we really appreciate all your hard work you put into it. We will definitely be using you again.As soon as we get the photos from our photographers I’ll send them over to you and we give full permission for you to share them.Many many kind regards,Stevie & Craig
