Seasons & Flavours
I am pleased to offer a delightful variety of seasonal flavours sourced from local producers or grown at home. Flavours stemming from my Latin heritage of Venezuela and Colombia are available all year round and can be combined with British seasonal flavours for a unique taste experience.
My fresh edible decorations are updated to reflect the time of year, with more dry and pressed flowers and foliage incorporated into my designs during the autumn and winter months, adding an elegant touch to every cake.
As each cake is bespoke and made to order, I finalise the flavour combination during the design process to ensure a personalised experience that delights your taste buds and leaves a lasting impression.
I have a variety of available flavours for each season, as well as my signature flavour cakes, to inspire your flavour combinations.

In Spring and summer I use flavours such strawberry, elderflower, mint and lemon verbena, raspberry, hawthorn flowers, plum, damson and rose.
