Panel Cakes
We specialise in designing and making a range of elegant Panel Cakes. If you want the WOW factor then these stunning Panel cakes will certainly do that.
The rich fruit recipe we use has been handed down for 3 generations and tastes exquisite. These beautiful rich fruit cakes start off their life with the dried fruit being soaked in Brandy for 2-3 days before the cake is mixed. Organic ingredients are used wherever possible.
Once the cake has been baked, it is then carefully matured and brandied over several weeks/months before almond marzipan is used to cover the cake.
The cake is then covered in Royal Icing and decorated with handmade Royal Iced panels and old fashioned piping skills.
The panels can be customised and designed to your requirements with different shaped “windows”. Intricate scrolls are hand piped either side of the Panel window. In these windows flowers or iced centers can be placed, therefore really setting the cake off and matching your colour scheme or theme.
As Panel cakes cannot be “stacked” cake pillars are used to separate the tiers although several cakes can be placed in an arrangement or placed on 2, 3 or 4 tier cake stands.
To finish
We design and ice our own cake tops in Royal Icing. These elegant lace & filigree toppers will set your cake off to perfection. Doves, hearts, scrolls, butterflies and baskets are just a few.
All the cakes are made to order and can be customised to complement your theme.
To enjoy our fruit cakes at their best, they need to mature and develop their flavour. We would ask for you to ideally let us have a minimum of 3-6 months notice for our Rich Fruit Panel Cakes.
Decoration Only
We are happy to decorate your own fruit cake and will deduct the cost of the cake provided by you.
(Note: We do not decorate sponge cakes that are shop bought or that we have not made ourselves)
Delivery
We really do insist on delivering the Panel Cakes to your venue due to their intricacy and delicate nature. We will set up and leave your cake in perfect condition for you and your guests to enjoy.
