Our selection

Custom cakes

This is the heart of the salon. A custom cake here is not an item picked from a catalogue but the result of a conversation. You tell us what it is for, who it is for, what that person likes and what the theme is – and we tell you what can be done, and where we would suggest a different approach.

The techniques we work with

• Edible print. A photo, a drawing, a favourite character – printed onto a wafer or sugar sheet. This is the most accurate option when a specific image has to be reproduced.
• Marzipan and sugar paste figures. Hand-shaped characters, letters and flowers. It takes longer, but the decoration is three-dimensional.
• Drip cake. Chocolate dripping over the rim, with piped cream roses, chocolate shards and spheres on top. The favourite for adult celebrations.
• Rainbow layer cake. Coloured sponge layers under a smooth outer cream. The biggest hit at children’s parties, because the real surprise only appears when it is cut.
• Piped cream decoration. The classic, restrained option, with a scalloped edge and fresh fruit.
• Lettering and cake toppers. Text piped in chocolate, a name printed on a wafer sheet, numbers or heart-shaped toppers.

Lead times

The more complex the design, the more time it needs. The table below shows how far ahead it is worth contacting us – but do always ask, because in high season we fill up faster.

Size and number of guests

It is better to give the number of guests than a diameter, because how a cake slices also depends on its shape. The same amount of sponge yields fewer slices in a round cake than in a rectangular one.

Daily pastries

What is in the display changes from day to day, because we work with seasonal fruit and bake only as much as sells that day. What is almost always there:

• cream slices and choux buns
• curd cheese and sour cherry puff pastry slices
• fruit cream slices, according to the season
• chocolate and coffee slices
• whipped cream and sour cherry cake by the slice
• dome cakes with a caramelised top

We also prepare larger trays to order – for graduations, company breakfasts and christenings. Two or three days is enough for that.

Artisan ice cream

From spring to autumn. It is made in small batches, so the flavours change weekly: a few are constant – chocolate, vanilla, raspberry – and the rest depend on what fruit is available. Served in a cone, in a cup, or alongside a slice of cake.

Why there are no prices on this site

Because a custom cake has no list price. The same size costs one thing with plain cream and another with figures, an edible print or an extra tier. A number on this page would either mislead you or be out of date. After you fill in the form or call us, we quote an actual price, not an indicative one.

Allergens

Egg, gluten, dairy, soy and several kinds of nuts are all in use in the kitchen, so we cannot completely rule out cross-contamination. Always mention it when ordering: most cakes can be made gluten-free or lactose-free if we know in advance. In the case of a severe allergy, tell us exactly what the reaction is to, and we will tell you what we can and cannot guarantee.
