My Signature Flavours
The flavours of my signature cakes and gateaux are inspired by seasonal Somerset ingredients and family recipes that have been passed down to me from my mother and grandmother. Growing up in Somerset with grandparents who grew most of their own food, I became fascinated by how certain foods could capture the taste of the season and transport you back to a specific time or place. I grow and forage for as many of my ingredients as I can during the season, so please be aware that some of these flavours are not available all year round.
Our signature cake flavours are perfect for tiered wedding cakes, providing the perfect density required for decoration while also tasting delicious. We can provide all flavours as pre-wrapped slices, perfect for ordering alongside a faux cake or as favours for guests to take home (minimum of 50 slices per order).
