Cakes for People with Special Dietary Considerations
Please contact us to discuss the options.
We do a fully gluten-free chocolate cake, orange cake or chocolate-orange cake that is perfect as a tier in your wedding cake, as well as an apple/pistachio flavoured cake and a choc-hazelnut cake.
If you have any special requests for other considerations, we will try to create something for you to suit.
Croquembouche
A beautiful alternative to the traditional wedding cake, this is a tall conical tower of fresh profiteroles, constructed with toffee.
One dessert portion equals two profiteroles.
One croquembouche yields approximately 120 profiteroles, but additional profiteroles can be provided for additional guest numbers.
All made from scratch using freshest premium ingredients.
Special conditions apply for the purchase of a croquembouche, due to the last minute nature of cake construction and the need to serve cake within 4 hours of completion. The spun sugar and toffee construction of the croquembouche will begin to deteriorate (dissolve) soon after completion, and is not suited to humid and hot rooms. Please contact us for further information.

Sugar Art
Flowers, figurines, animals, babies, sporting gear...if you have someone making your cake, but you want something 'just a little bit special' for the top as a decoration, we can make it from food-safe sugarpaste, or long-lasting baked polymer clay. Call us for a quote.
Chocolates
Please ask about our chocolate lollipops and different chocolate moulds we can make to order.
Specials are available to clients ordering bomboniere as part of their wedding package.
A word about consultations....
Generally only wedding cake clients need to book face-to-face consultations (including cake tastings) on premises, although I do offer this service to larger special event cakes also.
Most preliminary discussion, including confirming the availability of dates can be done via email or telephone. Email is very handy for transmitting images of the design styles that you are interested in having incorporated into your cake design.
