Mes Gâteaux Cake Design

Mes Gâteaux Cake Design is a family business in St-Prex, founded by Margarida and Nelson, that makes personalized cakes, cake design pieces, cupcakes and cookies by hand. It works from the couple's home rather than a shop, takes orders by phone and email, and lists weddings, baptisms and communions as one of its creation categories.

Who runs it

The "Qui sommes-nous ?" page tells the story in the first person plural. Mes Gâteaux Cake Design SNC is a family business founded by Margarida and Nelson. It has been officially registered since 2014, though its beginnings go back to 2008. The couple are originally from Portugal and chose to settle in Switzerland in 2008.

Margarida holds a degree in business management and comes from a family of bakers; the page says she grew up at the heart of the baking and pastry trade. Nelson studied art and design and, with his passion for pastry, is described as an accomplished artist who excels at decoration. The page presents their collaboration as a balance of expertise and creativity.

The start was personal. As a young couple, they write, they wanted to make an exceptional cake for their daughter's first birthday. After a lot of research online they discovered sugar paste cakes, and that led them into the work. The warm reception and repeated requests from their guests fed their enthusiasm, and the passion became a vocation.

For a few years they also ran a tea room. The page says they decided to give it up because it demanded a great deal of effort, and because their passion was making cakes, they chose to devote themselves to that alone. Today they work from their home in St-Prex, which the page describes as 5 minutes from Morges, as cake design professionals with the authorization of the relevant authorities.

What they make

The business says it specializes in personalized cakes, cake design, cupcakes and cookies, all made by hand. The site's creations menu is divided into birthdays, weddings (a page headed "Mariage / baptême / Communion"), miscellaneous, 3D sculpted cakes, cupcakes and cookies. The sculpted category is worth noting for a couple who wants something beyond a classic tiered cake, and the cupcake and cookie ranges could supply a dessert table or favors alongside the main cake, though the site does not describe wedding packages.

The about page says they turn customers' ideas into reality, that their creations are not limited to visual appearance but also offer an exceptional taste experience, and that customers look forward to the richness, variety and quality of their made-to-measure work, from preparation to decoration. The wedding page itself carries no description in its text, only its heading and the contact block, so it works as a gallery; a couple should look through it and ask for more examples of wedding work.

The founding story says something about style. The couple came into the trade through sugar paste (pâte à sucre) cakes, and the 3D sculpted category points the same way: this is a business built on modeled, covered and decorated cakes. A couple who prefers a cream-finished, naked or buttercream wedding cake should ask whether those finishes are offered too, since the site does not list them. The page closes its introduction by saying that whatever the event, it is a special moment and they want everything to be perfect.

The menu also lists a quote request page ("Demande de devis"), a page of press coverage and distinctions ("Presse & Distinctions") and a partners page.

How to reach them

The business has no shop open to the public ("Nous n'avons pas de Magasin ouvert au public"), but it answers calls Monday to Saturday from 9:00 to 18:00 and on Sunday from 10:00 to 14:00. The phone numbers are 076 575 23 20 and 076 413 23 21, the address is Route de Lussy 8, 1162 St-Prex, and the email given in the page data is info@mesgateaux-cakedesign.ch. Each page also carries a call button and an email button, and the page footers carry a last-update date in September 2026. The quote request page in the menu is another route.

Because the studio is at the couple's home, a visit to discuss a cake is something to arrange by phone first, not to drop in for.

What the site does not settle

• Prices. No prices are published for wedding cakes or other products.
• Lead time. No booking or order lead time is given.
• Delivery. The site does not say whether cakes are delivered and set up at a venue, or how far the business travels.
• Tastings. No tasting is mentioned.
• Flavors. No list of flavors or fillings appears on the about or wedding pages.
• Dietary options. Nothing is said about gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan or allergen options.
• Language. The site is in French. The founders are originally from Portugal, but the site does not say which languages they take orders in, so a couple who does not speak French should ask at the start.
• Distinctions. The menu names a press and distinctions page, but the about and wedding pages do not say what the distinctions are.

A phone call or email with the date, place, number of guests and a few inspiration pictures is the way to get answers on price, delivery and timing together.

Who it suits

Mes Gâteaux Cake Design suits a couple marrying in the Morges and St-Prex area who wants a personalized, hand-decorated cake, or a sculpted one, from a small family business with a designer trained in art and design. Its published call hours include Sunday, and the business has been officially registered since 2014. Nelson's art and design training is the most distinctive point on the page, and the reason to consider this business for a cake that is itself a decorative object, such as a sculpted piece, rather than a plain tiered cake.

The caveats are the gaps above. There is no shop, the site gives no prices, lead times or delivery terms, and it is written in French. A couple marrying further away, or planning on a short timeline, should confirm delivery and availability in the first conversation.
