How to choose the perfect celebration cake

Rich and decadent, our Collection Madagascan Chocolate and Hazelnut Cake is one for chocoholics and is a great option for birthdays. It features three layers of moist dark chocolate and hazelnut sponge, filled with Madagascan dark chocolate and hazelnut cream, and is hand-finished with praline hazelnuts and ribbon piping. 

Curious about how best to cut your cake? While you may be tempted to cut your cake like a cheesecake into equal-sized triangle slices, to feed a crowd, experts recommend removing a slice a few inches in from each end of the cake, then cutting the cake into rectangular slices and then squares.  

For a sweet-but-sharp treat, look no further than our Collection Sicilian Lemon and Blackcurrant Cake. Three rich and creamy layers of Madagascan vanilla sponge are enriched with buttermilk and soaked in Sicilian lemon juice. The cake’s then filled with blackcurrant jam, Sicilian lemon juice and lemon curd buttercream. Hand-decorated with the same zesty buttercream and edible blue cornflowers, it's truly eye-catching.  

 One of the best ways to store your celebratory centrepieces (that’s if there is any left!) is to use a cake storage tin or container, but you’ll want to make sure there aren’t any gaps or holes in your chosen vessel as air can affect the cake’s consistency. Slide the cake in carefully, using the lid as a base, so it doesn’t get damaged. You can also freeze slices of cake, wrapped tightly in cling film.
