When you have a tight family unit, you’ll be really close to all of your relatives, including your cousins. Cousins are great to be around, usually, they won’t be far from your own age so you can form a close bond with them, and they can be less annoying than siblings when you’re growing up. So, it’s not a surprise when many people stay close with their cousins and celebrate occasions with them.
National Cousin Day is coming up, (in fact it’s on the 24th July!) which is a good excuse to show your cousin some appreciation. Why not send them a lovely (and tasty) gift from Sponge to show them how much you care about them? We have lots of lovely gift options to choose from which will make them feel over the moon when they receive their gift from you:
Whole Cakes
There are lots of different cake flavours available at Sponge, so we are sure you’ll be able to find a flavour your cousin will love. Here are some of our cake flavours:
Strawberries and Cream Cake – A double-layered summer beauty! A fluffy and soft vanilla sponge sandwiched together with sweet strawberry buttercream and drizzled with white chocolate on top. Enjoy with a glass of fizz on a hot sunny day or pair with a warming cuppa for those drizzly English summer days!
Lemon Drizzle Cake – The sponge is infused with natural lemon oil and made with free range eggs to create a light and fluffy citrus cake. Natural lemon oil is also used in the buttercream and white chocolate is drizzled on top.
Chocolate Cake – Luxurious and rich chocolate, flour and free range eggs create a moist and indulgent Sponge. English butter and chocolate create the ultimate chocolate buttercream and milk chocolate flakes decorate the top. A chocaholics dream!
Victoria Sponge Cake – Free range eggs, flour and natural vanilla flavouring creates our award-winning light and fluffy Victoria Sponge. The buttercream is made from English butter and natural vanilla flavouring which is complemented perfectly with quality raspberry jam.
Carrot Cake – Grated carrot, cinnamon, walnuts, plump sultanas, free range eggs and a hint of nutmeg make up this rich and juicy sponge. Naturally flavoured vanilla buttercream with crunch walnut pieces on top.
These are just a few of the delicious cake flavours available there are lots more to choose from.
