Burn-away cakes are made for the reveal: light the top layer and a hidden photo or message appears beneath. They are dramatic, personal and ideal for surprise birthdays, gender reveals and party moments that deserve a little theatre.

For birthday reveals, start with our full birthday cakes collection, then choose a burn-away cake when you want the cake to deliver the big gasp.

Each cake is baked to order with soft sponge and Swiss meringue buttercream, then finished with the edible reveal layer. It is hand-delivered across London and Surrey by our own drivers.
