Flavour Menu

Not only do our cakes look impressive, but they taste delicious too!

Our cakes are always baked fresh to order and we pride ourselves on using the finest quality and freshest ingredients available. As examples, we typically use unsalted butter, locally sourced free-range eggs, Tiptree and Bonne Maman preserves, Bay Tree fruit curds, Madagascan vanilla bean extract, organic cocoa powder and the finest Belgian chocolate for our chocolate cake and ganache.

Our wedding cakes consist of four layers of sponge with three layers of filling such as buttercream, preserves and curds All of our cakes are encased in a layer of white chocolate ganache before icing, this enables us to get a flawless foundation for your cake and achieve crisp sharp edges.

All of our cakes are baked and created in an environment where, nuts, gluten, eggs and milk are present, therefore we cannot guarantee that our cakes will be free of traces of these products. However, should you have guests with allergies and intolerances, then please do let us know at the time of ordering and every effort will be made to reduce cross contamination.

We offer a wide range of cake flavours and fillings but should there be a particular type of cake or combination of flavours that you like, that isn't on our menu, we rise to the challenge to create it!

Vanilla

Traditional and an overall crowd pleaser, our vanilla cake is a light sponge made with finest Madagascan vanilla bean extract. Popular fillings for this cake are a creamy vanilla buttercream with or without seedless raspberry jam, or raspberry curd buttercream.

Lemon

Zesty and palette cleansing and particularly refreshing on a hot summer day, our lemon sponge is drizzled with a tangy lemon syrup for extra lemony-ness! Complimentary fillings for this cake are lemon curd buttercream, passion fruit curd buttercream or elderflower buttercream.

Chocolate

A dense, rich and delicious chocolate cake, made with the finest Belgian dark chocolate and organic cocoa powder. Chocolate has an affinity with so many other fillings so you can take your pick for wonderful flavour combinations. Choose from chocolate, chocolate orange, salted caramel, peppermint, white chocolate or Black Forest.

Carrot

A delicious, flavour packed moist cake, with a huge array of ingredients. Often seen as a modern alternative to traditional fruit cake, it incorporates all the elements of fruit cake but with a much lighter modern twist.

Samantha is one of the most professional and caring people I met during my wedding planning. Nothing was too much for her and she was so incredibly helpful and passionate. I really would recommend her to any bride and groom to be. I’m so pleased I chose The Pretty Cake Company and was completely thrilled with my beautiful cake, and all my guests commented on how beautiful it was and how delicious is tasted.
