Sorry to cause any alarm at all if you've noticed me being AWOL from Instagram. Whilst I was quiet on social media, we were baking up a storm in the bakery.
Lockdown or not, our cakes brightened up birthdays all across the capital. Freshly baked, and delivered straight from our bakery to Richmond, this sweet Pink Sweetheart two-tiered birthday cake for Tori may have brightened up all of South West London!
Layers and layers of our freshly baked, moist (I shudder as I use that word, but there is no good alternative for MOIST) vanilla sponge, filled with our silky Swiss meringue buttercream...it tastes SO BIRTHDAY.
This was one of our popular designs at the time and it's easy to see why - the pink and white stripes and candied popcorn are playful, the buttercream flowers and macarons are pretty, and the pink baked buttermilk doughnuts are FUN. Our glossy Belgian dark chocolate drip is stunningly appetising too, and makes this cake definitely look as good as it tastes.
If pink is the brief, browse our current pink birthday cakes for more hearts, florals and unapologetically rosy party cakes.
Our smallest two-tier size, 4"/6", was a really cute size for spoiling someone on their birthday while social distancing was still the norm. It made a dramatic impact with size from its height and was perfectly sized for enjoying leftovers over the week. Cuz let's be real, in such a LONG year a birthday really needed to be stretched out to a birth-week.
Lots of love,
Reshmi
Imagine having to trawl over here to see if you’re still with us. 😒😂
Glad you are though, and this looks delicious.
