With shades of blue icing outside and coloured inside, the ‘Blue Sky’ cake is made with layers of sticky nutty, ribbon butter chocolate fudge cake with praline rice crispy crunch and nougat garnished with white chocolate shaves. 

The ‘Chocolate Espresso’ is a mix of coffee, chocolate and ribbon cake with espresso butter cream and icing, cookie crunch covered with yellow butter icing and decorated with fudge cake cubes and caramel sauce.

For coffee lovers, this would be an absolute treat! ‘Ice Charlie’ consists layers of coffee cake with espresso butter cream and caramelised cashew covered with espresso cream and garnish on top. 

The dramatic and unusual cube cake named ‘Il Cubo’ is made with a Noisette praline chocolate cake layer with chocolate butter cream, caramel and praline crunch covered with chocolate valours. 

Like the lyrics of the song ‘Lady In Red’ reminds you of the beauty and elegance of the lady in red, so does this beautiful elegant cake made with layers of red velvet with soft butter cream, strawberry compote and nougat in-between and covered around with sheets of white chocolate  and curls on top.
