What goes inside the cake?

You choose the sponge, the filling and the outer coating separately. The three columns below are those three decisions.

01

Sponge

The body of the cake. We match the soaking syrup to whichever sponge you choose.

  • Vanilla sponge

    Classic, light and neutral. Works with every filling.

  • Cocoa sponge

    Gluten-free available

    Dark and medium-bodied. Balanced against chocolate fillings.

02

Filling

What goes between the layers. You can pick more than one and vary it by tier.

  • Dark chocolate ganache

    Heat-stable

    The most robust option; our first choice for outdoor events.

    Contains: Dairy, Soy

    Sweet against sharp. The most requested at engagements and weddings.

  • Salted caramel

03

Outer coating

The visible surface, and what decides how the cake handles heat. Outdoors, the choice narrows here.

  • Swiss meringue buttercream

    Heat-stable

    Holds for hours at 30–32°C. Less sweet than the classic version.

    Contains: Dairy, Egg

  • Ganache coating

    The most robust, to 33–34°C. Gives a sharp, clean edge.

    The classic match for carrot cake. Needs a cool room.

    Contains: Dairy

  • Fondant

    For sharp geometry and figures. Not advised above 70% humidity.
