Made to order
A red velvet celebration cake composed of Belgian cocoa, buttermilk sponge, Swiss meringue buttercream and Valrhona chocolate ganache. The sponge is soft, lightly tangy and cocoa-rich, layered with smooth buttercream for a clean, silky finish, then cloaked in Valrhona chocolate ganache for depth and gloss. Finished with cupcakes, brownie truffles and buttercream blooms, it balances the gentle acidity of red velvet with the richness of chocolate and the softness of whipped buttercream.

Cake details
Ingredients, allergens and a note from the chef.
Red velvet is a flavour I approach with care rather than gimmick: Belgian cocoa, buttermilk and a soft, close crumb give the sponge its character, while Swiss meringue buttercream and Valrhona chocolate ganache bring balance, depth and polish. Lady in Red Velvet was designed to feel dramatic without tipping into theatre, rich without becoming heavy, and elegant enough to let the flavour do more than the colour.
