Cake Flavours

Cake Flavours

Beautiful Banana

The best banana cake. A classic crowd-pleaser made richer with brown sugar for a soft, tender crumb and deep caramel notes. It’s the cake of your childhood memories, but better.
Pairs beautifully with: dark chocolate ganache or vanilla buttercream. Add another flavour profile with gooey salted caramel between layers.

The Crowd-Pleaser Carrot

A generous, homestyle carrot cake made with three textures of carrot (grated, fine, and blended) for a beautiful crumb and pleasing texture. Substantial, warmly spiced, and completely moreish, with or without walnuts.
Pairs beautifully with: vanilla buttercream or cream cheese-flavoured buttercream. Add lemon curd in between layers for more zing.

Indulgent Chocolate Mudcake

Loaded with quality chocolate and butter, this is dense, rich, and deeply decadent. One for the true chocolate lovers.
Pairs beautifully with: vanilla buttercream or chocolate buttercream. Add another flavour profile with salted caramel or rockin’ raspberry sauce between layers.

Rich Velvety Chocolate

A soft, tender chocolate cake that’s rich without being too sweet, with a light, velvety crumb. It’s the chocolate cake that tends to convert even “I don’t like cake” people.
Pairs beautifully with: vanilla buttercream or chocolate buttercream. Add another flavour profile with silky caramel or rockin’ raspberry sauce between layers.

Soft Vanilla Cake

Not the old dry vanilla cake you might be imagining. This is a new-generation vanilla cake with a soft, delicate crumb and a real vanilla flavour. Translates well to a gluten-free option without compromising texture.
Pairs beautifully with: vanilla buttercream or raspberry buttercream. Add another flavour profile with silky caramel or rockin’ raspberry sauce between layers.

Funfetti

A playful vanilla cake with rainbow sprinkles baked through the sponge for a colourful celebration feel. The sprinkles soften as they bake, creating fun pops of colour rather than crunch.
Pairs beautifully with: vanilla buttercream or raspberry buttercream. Add another flavour profile with silky caramel or rockin’ raspberry sauce between layers.

Super Lemony Lemon

For the lemon lovers. Packed with real fresh lemon juice and zest, with no essence in sight. Bright, zingy, syrupy, and lemon all the way.
Pairs beautifully with: lemon buttercream or vanilla buttercream. Add another flavour profile with lemon curd (if you dare!), or contrast the lemon with rockin’ raspberry sauce between layers.

Luscious Red Velvet

A soft, velvety cake with a subtle cocoa note and that classic red velvet colour. Elegant, smooth, and a little bit dramatic.
Pairs beautifully with: chocolate buttercream, vanilla buttercream, or cream cheese-flavoured buttercream.

White Chocolate Mudcake

A rich, dense mudcake made with quality white chocolate and butter. A beautiful choice for those who love something decadent.
Pairs beautifully with: Vanilla buttercream for a classic finish, or white chocolate ganache if you want to go all out. Add another flavour profile with caramel or raspberry sauce between layers.

Old-Fashioned Fruitcake

Like Nana’s. Packed with dried fruit, glacé cherries, candied lemon peel, and gentle hints of orange and spice. Available with or without alcohol.
Pairs beautifully with: dark chocolate ganache or almond icing.

Icing Flavours

Icings are used to cover the outside of the cake and sit between each cake layer. 

Vanilla Buttercream

A silky Swiss meringue-style buttercream made with an egg-white base. Smooth, light and not too sweet, with a classic vanilla finish that works beautifully with almost any cake flavour.

Cream Cheese-Flavoured Buttercream

A silky Swiss meringue-style buttercream with the tangy flavour profile of cream cheese, while still being smooth, light and not too sweet. Due to our food safety plan, we’re unable to use real cream cheese because it requires constant refrigeration, and cakes are sometimes out of the fridge while being decorated or served. Instead, we use a quality cream cheese-flavoured oil to achieve a similar profile.

Chocolate Buttercream

A silky Swiss meringue-style buttercream made with an egg-white base and real chocolate. Smooth and not too sweet, with a richer, almost frosting-like texture for a beautiful chocolate finish.

Raspberry Buttercream

A silky Swiss meringue-style buttercream made with an egg-white base and a carefully balanced blend of raspberry ingredients. Fruity, pretty and bright without being overpowering.

Dark Chocolate Ganache

A smooth, luxurious ganache made with a blend of dark and milk chocolate infused with cream. Silky rather than fluffy, and perfect for chocolate lovers wanting a richer finish.

White Chocolate Ganache

A smooth, creamy ganache made with quality white chocolate infused with cream. Silky rather than fluffy, with a sweet, luxurious white chocolate finish.

Extra Filling Flavours

Fillings are extra sauces or curds that can be added between the layers for another flavour note.

Silky Caramel

A smooth caramel sauce with that nostalgic ice cream sundae feeling. Thinner than gooey salted caramel.

Gooey Salted Caramel

Thick, sweet and salty in all the right ways. A rich caramel filling for anyone who loves that sweet-savoury hit.

Rockin’ Raspberry

Made with real raspberries for a bright, dreamy berry hit. A little bit rockin’.

Zingy Lemon Curd

A classic thick lemon curd with a proper citrus bite. Sweet, tart and bright, it adds a fresh zing between layers.
