Strawberries & Cream Cake

This cake was inspired by the quintessential British summer—those perfect moments when Wimbledon is on the telly, the sun is out (for once), and strawberries and cream are on every table. I bottled up that freshness and nostalgia in a cake that feels both indulgent and light, capturing the sweetness of those (hopefully) sunny afternoons.

Want that feeling of warmth and carefree summer days? You can have that in this cake. It’s like having a garden party in cake form, with every slice giving you that comforting, familiar taste of summer, no matter the season.

Three lofty layers of strawberry sponge, packed with real British strawberries, paired with our silky Swiss meringue buttercream. And then there’s the decadent Belgian white chocolate drip, Lindt balls, and freeze-dried strawberries on top. It’s a visual showstopper, but one that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that's what makes this cake so special.

Sure, it’s great for summer garden parties or as a birthday centrepiece, but I like to think it’s the perfect cake for those ‘just because’ moments, too. Why wait for a special occasion when you could treat yourself to a slice of British summer on a Tuesday afternoon?

If you’ve ever wanted to taste what happiness feels like, this cake is your chance. Every bite is a little celebration of strawberries, sunshine, and that irresistible combination of fruity and creamy that just works.
