Tempting Flavours and more….

It’s what’s inside that counts too…

This is not an exhaustive list of sponge flavours, just some of my favourites which are sandwiched together with flavoured compotes, curds, caramels and my silky smooth, airy decadent Swiss meringue butter cream. (SMBC). All cakes are crumb coated with a dark chocolate ganache, the final coat of either white chocolate ganache or ganache buttercream becomes a canvas for applying natural pigments and edible garnishes.

Reading on will get your mouth watering.

With that said, if your preferred flavour is not listed, please feel free to ask me to create it for you.
