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.

FYI: We can make red velvet cake, but we don’t put red food colouring in it. Instead we use natural cocoa which has a red *tinge* but it won’t resemble the red velvet cakes you’ve likely come to know. Texture-wise: spot on. Flavour-wise: much improved (in our humble opinion). But if you’re looking for the nostalgia-inducing red velvet, you won’t find it here.
