Signature Cakes

My ‘Signature Cakes’ are 4-layer cakes in any flavour, however I have been working on a few flavour combinations designed just for this size of cake to make the most of their striking stripy interiors. I think taller cakes have an even greater celebratory feel to them and love the way they photograph. In fact, as models, they almost rival the majestic lemon meringue cupcake!

Anyway, here are the three new flavours. From left to right:

Chocolate Orange - Alternating layers of chocolate and orange sponge sandwiched with a rich ganache made with dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), Scottish cream and a dash of cointreau.

Blueberry Lemon – Moist blueberry sponge filled with whipped cream buttercream icing and homemade lemon curd.

Green Tea and Dark Chocolate – Japanese Matcha Green Tea cake layered with dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) buttercream. My personal favourite!

Thanks again to Holli for the pictures!
