Behind The Brand

What was the initial spark for your brand, how did it all begin?

Lalina began ten years ago as a quiet hobby — an intimate way to create beauty for those I love. With a background in interior design, I naturally approached cake-making through the lens of form, balance, and spatial storytelling. What started as a personal creative outlet gradually evolved into a deeper artistic expression — one that resonated with clients seeking emotion, refinement, and intentional design. Over time, Lalina transformed into a brand known for sculptural cakes that honor both structure and sentiment. It was never a business plan — it was a natural unfolding of passion into purpose.

How would you describe your aesthetic?

My aesthetic is minimalist, emotionally layered, and deeply intentional. I’m drawn to quiet elegance, negative space, and sculptural forms that feel timeless. Inspired by architecture, art, and nature, my designs often resemble still-life compositions — elevated, balanced, and expressive without excess. I don’t follow trends; I focus on creating pieces that feel personal, refined, and enduring. For me, beauty lies in restraint, and the most powerful details are often the most subtle.

What are you inspired by at the moment in the world of weddings?

At the moment, I’m deeply inspired by the evolving landscape of weddings, where personalization and artistic expression take center stage. Couples are embracing multi-day celebrations, curating entire wedding wardrobes that reflect their unique narratives and styles.  This shift allows for a more immersive and intimate experience, where every detail — from attire to décor — tells a part of their story.

In bridal fashion, there’s a beautiful tension between vintage elegance and modern minimalism. Design elements like drop-waist silhouettes, dramatic veils, and statement accessories are making a resurgence, offering brides the opportunity to blend tradition with contemporary flair.  This fusion resonates with my design philosophy, where each cake is not just a dessert but a sculptural embodiment of the couple’s journey.

Moreover, the emphasis on sustainability and authenticity in weddings today aligns with my commitment to intentionality and artistry. It’s inspiring to see celebrations that prioritize meaningful connections, thoughtful design, and a sense of timelessness. These trends fuel my creativity, encouraging me to craft pieces that are both aesthetically refined and deeply personal.

A planning tip or two you’ve learned along the way that you’d give to any couple?

Slow down and stay intentional. It’s easy to get swept up in trends and pressure, but the most memorable weddings are the ones that feel deeply personal. Choose elements that reflect your story, not just what’s popular.

Also, trust your creatives. When you align with designers, planners, and artists who truly understand your vision, give them the space to elevate it. The magic happens when there’s trust, not control.

Tell us about your ordering process and what couples should know beforehand.

My process is highly personalized and intentionally paced. Since I take on a limited number of commissions each year, I begin with a detailed consultation to understand the couple’s story, vision, and the overall aesthetic of their wedding. From there, I translate those elements into a bespoke design — often inspired by architecture, fashion, or floral forms.

What couples should know beforehand is that my cakes are not just desserts — they’re sculptural centerpieces. The more I understand about their values, venue, and visual language, the more meaningful the result. I recommend reaching out at least 4–6 months in advance to ensure availability and allow space for thoughtful collaboration.

Editor’s Notes

Why we love it…

Founded by interior designer Lina, the studio approaches each commission as a composition of form and feeling. With a minimalist eye and a reverence for space and structure, her designs nod to architecture, still life, and couture. Taking on a limited number of commissions each year, Lalina’s work is defined by rarity, restraint, and resonance.

For the couple…

Lalina is the perfect fit for couples seeking more than a cake – something sculptural, curated, and enduring. Lina’s process is highly collaborative, translating your story into form through material, balance, and silhouette. Her creations exist outside of trend cycles, tailored to the emotional tone and visual rhythm of your day.
