Themed cakes for children
Is your little one dreaming of a special cake? Our themed recipes make it possible. The Unicorn number cake is one of our most popular recipes, and number cakes can be adapted to any age and theme. Young adventurers will love the Dinosaur cake, sports fans the Football Cake – a rectangular cake that is easy to make for a large group and can be adapted to other themes. The Farm Cake and the Mermaid Cake bring colour to any party, and the Rainbow Roll Cake with Carambar hides a surprise inside.
Chocolate lovers will be thrilled with the Gravity cake or the Dripcake with Nutella, both spectacular and surprisingly achievable. Decorate them with your child's favourite sweets for a personal touch.
Elegant cakes and solid basics
For adult birthdays, classic patisserie is always a good choice:
- Black Forest Cake and Chocolate-Cherry Cake
- Fraisier and Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart
- Mille-feuille and Paris-Brest
- Lemon Poppy Seed Kouglof for a lighter option
Every layer cake starts with a good sponge. Our Chocolate sponge cake base and the classic Sponge Cake are reliable foundations, and the Sponge Cake Base with Custard Cream & Summer Fruits shows how to turn them into a fresh dessert. To finish, learn how to model Roses in sugar paste for an elegant decoration.
Tip: bake your sponge a day ahead. It is easier to cut into even layers once it has rested, and you will have more time to decorate.
