How It Works, Craft & What’s Inside

The top layer is an edible print of your chosen photo. Light the centre with a long match or lighter and watch it burn away, unveiling your custom message. Beneath the reveal sits a moist sponge in your chosen flavour, layered with Swiss meringue buttercream and finished with classic piping. Viral on TikTok and Instagram, but made here with patisserie-level care and premium ingredients.

Ordering, Lead Time & Personalisation

This cake requires planning: we need a minimum of one week’s notice. At checkout, please select a delivery date at least one week away. After placing your order, reply to your confirmation email with a high-resolution photo within one hour so we can prepare your edible print. Add your personal message in the “Personalised Cake Message” box — if left blank, the default message will be printed: “Burn in Hell D!ckhead.” Any delay in sending your image may push your delivery back, so please act promptly.

For Divorce Parties, Breakups & New Chapters

Perfect for divorce parties, break-up nights in, or a friend who needs cake-fuelled closure. It’s equally suited to moving day, new job celebrations or any fresh start. From a cheeky divorce bash in Soho to a post-split glow-up in Guildford or Woking, this cake provides both drama and deliciousness. When the smoke clears, what’s left is a moist, flavour-packed cake that tastes as good as it looks.
