Neil and his team made us the best Wedding Cake ever - a 1 meter high, 60 portion Croquembouche with extra nougatine (if you have a sweet tooth ask for this). We put it in the middle of the dance floor during the evening reception and after breaking the top of it (no gentle cutting - this needs a heavy large knife), we invited our guests to come forward and break off a piece each. It was the talking point of the evening and the pieces were very tasty. Neil built the Croquembouche around an inner cone which meant that it could be delivered to our venue in pristine condition. I would highly recommend Neil and his team.

Thank you so much to Neil for such a great wedding cake. We had individual cupcake sized gateaus and cheesecakes with different fillings and flavours and they were delicious. Forget my dress the cakes were the main focus of the day! Everyone commented on how lovely they were and I definitely agreed! All very well organised, came to the venue, set up the tiers and all was perfect. So many wedding cakes are the boring sponge and hard icing but these are unique. Cant imagine the time and effort that goes into making them but well worth it! Thanks so much Neil and Papillon, and sorry it took so long for me to write this review!

I met Neil at the National wedding show and arranged a meeting with him at Le Papillion shortly after to talk about our wedding cake. We chose cupcakes and Neil created beautiful British themed inspired cupcakes to suit our day - they tasted like a slice of heaven!! Would highly recommend - Neil is both professional and a beautiful cake maker. Plus his prices were really reasonable. Thanks very much! Sophie & Adam

We opted for a dessert selection for our wedding cake. The display was breathtaking and was the perfect end to a wonderful meal! So many people told me that it was the best cheesecake that they had ever eaten.

I came across Neil at a wedding fair and was instantly impressed by his stand. The cakes looked wonderful but did they taste as good as they looked? absolutely. For our daughter's wedding we ordered his delicious croquembouche and a selection of canapes. All were delicious, our only regret was to have under ordered as our guests kept going back for more! The wedding venue was quite some distance away from his base but that was no trouble for him. Neil is a true master of his art and a pleasurable, trustworthy supplier that I highly recommend

I was hesitating between the famous laduree and Papillon and am so glad we chose Papillion. We ordered a croquembouch, desserts and then small canapes. They were of an extremely high quality and delicious and looked fantastic. We received so many compliments about the deserts. It is also very well priced. Neil was also great to deal with, he always got back to you quickly and was very reliable. He is absolutely passionate and it really shows in the quality of the cakes. I would absolutely recommend Papillon without a doubt.

We first saw Le Papillon at the National Wedding show in 2010. We took a pamphlet and my husband had already picked and said this is the one. We waited until we got our venue and booked an appointment with Neil after speaking with him on what we required. He was so helpful and picked up on we wanted. Yum yum is all I have to say about the tasting. So much choice so we had a mixed sponges wrapped in divine chocolate. The cakes arrived on time. When I saw them I thought wow lets not eat them they look too gorgeous. But once we tasted...goodness! The cakes were mouth watering delicious. All guests wanted to eat so much more but could not for they are so filling. They were filing their handbags & pockets taking the morsels back home for a later night snack. Thank you Neil for a service that was fantastic from beginning to end. For cakes made that tasted fantastic. You will definitely see us again...and again....and again. Gabby & Ian Oct 2011

From when we met Neil from Le Papillion Patisserie at the International Wedding Show, we knew he was the man for the job! He had an extremeley laid back, friendly and non pushy approach. His cakes looked incredible and we had our heart set on a non traditional, french influenced wedding cake. When Neil invited us in for a tasting, we were overwhelemd not only by the choice but by the quality of the cakes. We just couldn't get enough! We had an informal chat about what we were looking for over a cuppa and we really struggled to choose, we were spoilt for choice! That was when we decided to have 2 wedding cakes! One for the day event and one to open the evening buffet! This was a decision we never looked back on. I felt 100% confident about the cake element of the wedding and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. Neil dealt with our florist to ensure we had the cake dressed in exactly the way we wanted. I had nothing to worry about and everything was arranged between them. The day before the event, I decided to let Neil know that I was keen on having a dessert fountain / sparkler on top of our croquembouche! Realsing it was last minute, I thought it might not be possible and I quickly forgot about it. The cakes on the day were everything we wished for and more and Neil had gone out of his way to get to the shops before closing to ensure my cake fountain wish came true. I was over the moon and our guests couldn't stop talking about how incredible the cakes looked and how delicious they were. I couldn't recommend Le Papillion Pattiserie anymore. Thank you Neil for making it everything I wanted on or special day. Steph & Matt 09.09.11

When it comes to Cake this man knows what he's doing! I had some ideas about the kind of cake I wanted, but didn't really know where to start. After we met Neil at the National Wedding Fair and sampled some of his delicious creations we knew we'd stumbled across a gem! His creative expertiese and enthusiasm for what he does shines through and he turned our cake into one of the highlights of the day. It doubled up as our dessert and we've had endless compliments from all of our guests about just how delicious it was. We found that one of the most reassuring things about Neil and his company is that they use the very best of ingredients, and don't cut corners. Their attention to detail is exceptional. I can't tell you how much fun it was at the tasting, My mother and I were in heaven! The difficult job was deciding on which flavours we wanted - impossible to choose. In the end we managed to cut it down to 7, a difficult but VERY enjoyable task! Le Papillion Patisserie provided us with an incredible cake, and the entire experience was a lovely, hassle free one. We couldn't recommend this company highly enough. They are simply brilliant.

I first encountered Le Papillon at the National Wedding show last year and was just mesmerized by this stunning cake. Then I was told that they never make a cake that looks better than it tastes. This seemed unbelievable at the time but never a truer word was spoken, for this is a cake that starts great and just gets better. I chose the chocolate wrapped gateaux tower with 5 different flavours and a top tier. We had a tasting where we tried many different cake samples (big hearty slabs of cake that you get to take home and devour afterwards) and each cake tastes as good as the last. the only problem we found was choosing which delicious flavours to serve and which ones we had to leave behind. The real shock for me was when I sat down and worked it out I realized because they were a luxurious mini gateaux rather than the dry cake I had planned to make myself, there was no need at all to serve dessert with the dinner so it actually worked out cheaper for us to have our dream cake than i'd calculated for with so much more to show for it. Plus this way my guests had a choice which they would not have done had I served a dessert with the caterers.! My guests absolutely fell in love with the cake as much as we had. Le Papillon make sure to use your colour scheme and your flowers to decorate the cake so it blends in perfectly. Our guests raved and raved about the cake. All day there had been little crowds of people forming around it, admiring it, there eager mouth's watering! I think perhaps most impressively of all, my Vegan guests couldn't get over how delicious it was. My Vegan Aunt said that normally she feels that Vegan alternatives have very little thought put into them but this cake was one of the most delicious things she had ever eaten. Its 6 weeks later now and people are still raving about it! Just yesterday a friend said

We were absolutely delighted with the service Neil gave at le papillon for our recent wedding cake. Everybody commented on the day how much they enjoyed the cake, and it looked so stunning! I would definitely recommend him. I have been trying to think of something negative to write but really cant find anything!
