Flavours

 

 Celebration and Wedding Cakes

Maderia Sponge - I use a recipe that has been passed down through 3 generations and as a child I fondly remember eating this cake at Nanna's and Grandpa's house when I went there for Saturday afternoon tea. The sponge is lighter and moister than a traditional maderia cake and I am regularly complemented on how lovely it tastes.

Rich Fruit Cake - I do not make my own fruit cakes at present. Instead, I use cakes made by a company based in Oldham with over 20 years experience in making rich fruit cakes. They supply cakes to the sugarcraft trade across the country and everyone who has had one of these cakes has commented on how delicious they are, some have even gone as far as saying that they are the best fruit cakes they've tasted!

Chocolate Cake - I make a light chocolate cake or a rich chocolate cake depending on your preference. The light chocolate cake is based on my Maderia sponge recipe, whilst the rich chocolate cake has a lovely soft, moist texture -  great for chocoholics!

Your favourite - I can also make your favourite cake, so if you have a particular cake you love to eat, just let me know. 

 

 Cupcakes

Simply Sponge - A traditional light sponge mixture, simple but delicious (I tend not to use vanilla essence in these cakes, but if you particularly like vanilla in your cakes, just let me know.)

Chocolate & Chocolate Chips - a deliciously light chocolate cake with chocolate chips added, always a favourite for kids parties.

Chocolate Orange - an orange flavoured sponge complemented with chocolate chips (using chopped up Terry's Chocolate Orange segments - thanks Wendy!).

Raspberry and White Chocolate Chip - a lovely moist cake that's perfect for all tastes. This flavour makes an ideal gift cake if you want to give someone something a bit different, but don't know what they like.  They have been a real hit with everyone who's tried them. 

Cherry & Coconut - my husband's favourite, but not for everyones tastes. A moist cake making a delicious treat for cherry & coconut lovers.

Lemon - gives a delicate twist to a traditional sponge cake.

Gluten Free - an extremely light and delicate texture that tastes great and means that those of you who can't have gluten don't have to miss out on enjoying a cake.

Your favourite - let me know what your favourite cupcake flavour is and I'll make it for you (I know my friends and family will enjoy the taste testing I have to do on all new cakes I make!)

 

 Fillings

Buttercream - traditional and a favourite with many.

Buttercream and Jam - adding a layer of jam, whether its strawberry, raspberry, bramble jelly or apricot, adds a little something extra to the flavour of the cake. 

Buttercream with Chocolate Chips - great in kids cakes, the addition of chopped up chocolate chips helps to make a kids cake a real treat.

Chocolate buttercream - perfect for rich chocolate cakes, really indulgent but worth it!

Lemon buttercream - if you love lemon, then this will be the option for you.

Your favourite - if you have a particular filling you love, then just let me know.
