The Sweetest Canvas
The couture wedding cakes at Grand Velas draw inspiration from the global fascination with vintage heart cakes. Arriving at the reception, the heart-shaped cake serves as a pristine white canvas, inviting couples to express themselves. Prior to the celebration, couples meet virtually with Nahúm Velasco, the esteemed head chef of the hotel's MICHELIN-starred restaurant, Cocina de Autor. This meeting allows couples to share their cherished memories, places, colors, scents, and flavors that define their love.
Chef Velasco artfully translates these personal stories into a selection of luxury toppings, textures, and decorations. The result is not just a cake, but a masterpiece that tells a story.
