Let’s explore one of elements that will make up your spectacular, completely bespoke custom cake: the flavour!

As a standard, each cake tier will have 4 layers of cake and 3 layers of filling.

Our extra tall tiers have 6 layers of cake and 4 layers of filling (split into two cakes of 3 layers of cake, two layers of filling divided by a cake board).

Although we have curated a small list of options available below, the sky is the limit! Tell us what your favourite flavours are and we’ll figure out a way to deliver.

We’re happy to provide both gluten-friendly and dairy-free alternatives for nearly all of our cakes and fillings!

We are a peanut-free facility, but we do make products with tree nuts and other common allergens.
