Cakes & Cheesecakes

Celebration cakes baked to order in our Belgravia kitchen and delivered across London and Surrey. The collection leans Eastern European, because that is where Mike learned to bake: Russian honey cake, or medovik, with its thin layers and sour cream frosting; Napoleon, built taller and softer than the French millefeuille it descends from; Bird's Milk, the soufflé cake known as ptichye moloko; Kyiv cake with its hazelnut meringue; Prague cake under a chocolate glaze; and Charodeyka, the Enchantress, which most Soviet children ate at least once a year.

Alongside them sit cakes from elsewhere. Esterházy, the Hungarian almond meringue cake, which happens to be naturally gluten free. The Basque burnt cheesecake, crustless and molten in the middle. A signature carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Pavlova, and a chocolate roulade rolled by hand.

Most cakes are 18 cm, which is the size a birthday usually wants, and can be finished with fresh flowers, fresh berries, or a message written in chocolate. Everything is baked for your delivery date rather than taken off a shelf, so we ask for at least 48 hours notice and longer for the cakes that need to rest overnight.

If you need something larger, for a wedding, an office party or a gathering of twenty five or more, our big cakes are made to order in tray format with three to four days notice.
