How Our Flavours Work
Every cake is finished on the outside in buttercream (fondant covering is available on request), which gives a beautiful, smooth finish, holds decorations well and travels safely. The flavour you choose is what you will find inside: the sponge and the filling layered between it.
For wedding cakes, you can choose a different flavour for each tier. For celebration cakes, one flavour is chosen per cake. Vegan flavours are available on request.
Please note that our kitchen handles nuts (including walnuts and almonds), wheat, eggs, milk and soy, so we cannot guarantee any cake is allergen-free.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cake Flavours:
What is the best flavour for a wedding cake?
Most popular options tend to be chocolate biscuit cake, vanilla and red velvet. However, if the wedding cake many tiers then couples tend to choose more traditional flavours for the larger tiers and then more contemporary flavours for the smaller tiers. For the top tier they normally choose their favourite flavour as this is often frozen for their first wedding anniversary.
Can you freeze a wedding cake?
Yes, you can but you must follow your freezer’s manufacturers guide. Best is to freeze a wedding cake in slices for a few months. However, if you do want to freeze it for longer then make sure you have wrapped it safely. We recommend to place your cake in a food box inside a food box as freezer burn may dry out your cake. Always allow it plenty of time to defrost in the fridge before eating.
Can I mix more than one flavour in one cake?
We only allow this on wedding cakes where you can choose different flavours of frosting between different layers of one cake. If your cake has more than one tier then of course you can choose a different flavours for each tier.
Can I have chocolate biscuit as my wedding cake flavour?
Yes, of course you can. As chocolate biscuit cake is dense and heavy, we can only make it as the bottom tier. If all of your cake is in chocolate biscuit then it can be the flavour of your bottom, middle and top tier. It is a very popular cake flavour and a good choice for wedding cakes. Eve’s chocolate biscuit cake is absolutely yummy!
Can I have macaroons for my wedding?
Yes, we offer a range of macaroons to match your wedding cake and cupcakes. Macaroons are very popular toppers for wedding cupcakes as they add a touch of elegance. We even offer macaroons as a wedding party favour so you can thank your guests in style.
Can I change my wedding cake flavour later?
As long as you allow us 5 days’ notice we can make changes to your wedding cake flavour.
What is your best cake flavour?
Eve’s favourite wedding cake flavour is a combination of chocolate ganache and salted buttercream with chocolate sponge. This gives flavours of snicker bar and is heavenly for a wedding cake flavour. It rich and the salt gives it a wonderful balance. It is suited for rustic naked wedding cakes or fully coated traditional wedding cakes too.
Do you offer a sampling box?
Yes, we do, we offer a wedding cake sampling box of 5 flavours and they come in a shape of cupcakes or mini slices.
Do you do cake flavours in vegan options?
