A Canvas of Flavour: Beyond the Silhouette
While the silhouette is iconic, the true artistry lies beneath the buttercream. We have departed from heavy sugar pastes to focus on light, airy sponges and our signature Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Unlike the gritty, overly sweet American frostings found elsewhere, our buttercream is an emulsion of organic egg whites and sugar heated to pasteurization, then whipped into a silk-like cloud with pure butter. It melts instantaneously on the tongue, leaving behind no greasy residue—only the clean, floral notes of premium vanilla that have become a hallmark of our London heart cakes.
Our commitment to excellence is molecular. We utilize Valrhona chocolate, sourced from B-Corp certified estates, ensuring that your indulgence supports sustainable agroecology. Every fleck of black in our vanilla sponge is a seed of genuine Madagascan Bourbon Vanilla, hand-pollinated and cured to capture the creamy essence that synthetic vanillin can never replicate. From the sharp zest of lemon curd cutting through elderflower sponge to the deep, mahogany notes of 70% Belgian chocolate paired with sea salt caramel, our flavours are engineered for the sophisticated palate seeking heart cakes with genuine culinary depth.
Curated for Every Connection
The heart shape is often pigeonholed into romantic love, but our collection is designed for the full spectrum of human connection. We reject the notion that heart cakes are solely for Valentine's Day; they are for every moment that requires a gesture of care, making these heart cakes London’s most versatile tokens of affection.
For the modern romance, forget the clichés. Our designs offer a sleek aesthetic perfect for partners who appreciate design as much as dessert. These are cakes that speak of deep, enduring connection rather than fleeting crushes. For Galentine’s and platonic love, celebrate your "chosen family" with a tribute to the friendships that sustain us. And for the "just because" gesture, a petit 6-inch heart cake is the perfect portion for an intimate surprise, delivered directly to their door to brighten a working week—proof that heart cakes are as adaptable as they are expressive.
Precision Engineering & Delivery Assurance
We understand that sending a heart-shaped cake requires trust. Unlike standard round cakes, the unique geometry of a heart—with its defined cleft and tapered point—requires expert handling. We have engineered a delivery process that ensures your gesture arrives in pristine condition, covering all 33 London boroughs and making heart cakes London-wide accessible with confidence. We also delivery throughout our Surrey free-of-charge.
From our bakery to your doorstep, your cake travels in temperature-controlled vehicles. This is crucial for maintaining the stability of our Swiss Meringue Buttercream, regardless of London’s humidity or heat. Whether the destination is a corporate tower in Canary Wharf or a gated residence in Kensington, our drivers are trained in the art of cake transport, ensuring that your heart cake arrives with every detail perfectly poised and ready to serve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I customize the colour palette of my heart cake?
Absolutely. We offer a spectrum of modern hues to match your event theme. While we maintain our signature architectural style, you can select from our "Pantone-inspired" palette including Sage Green, Dusky Blue, Terracotta, and Soft Lilac—ideal for personalising heart cakes for London celebrations of every kind.
How many servings does a heart cake yield?
Heart cakes are surprisingly generous. A standard 6-inch heart serves 8–12 generous portions, while our 8-inch heart serves 20–24. Because our cakes are taller than average, you can cut them using the "grid method" to maximize yield without compromising the integrity of the slice, ensuring your heart cake delivers both beauty and practicality.
Is the heart shape available for dietary requirements?
Inclusivity is at the heart of our bakery. We offer Vegan (Dairy-Free & Egg-Free) and Made Without Gluten sponge options for all designs in this collection, ensuring no guest is left without a slice of luxury—because heart cakes should always feel accessible, thoughtful, and universally joyful.
