New flavour alert. 🍵💚
This is our Matcha & Passionfruit Cake — and yes, it tastes as good as that looks. Fragrant matcha buttercream wrapped around vanilla almond sponge, smooth vanilla custard, and a hit of tangy passionfruit. Fresh, balanced, and not too sweet.
Gluten-friendly, too. 🙌

Same signature cake, now with a little more choice 🤍
Love the fully finished look? You can still have it.
Prefer a little less icing and a more rustic finish? Our new semi-naked option might be for you.
Same delicious cake. Same beautiful details. Just a different way to have it — and a little easier on the $$$. ✨
Which finish would you choose? 👀
