When you’re looking for the perfect gift, it can be tricky decide on what is the right gift to get. One thing that is pretty certain, not many people would be disappointed in getting cake as gift. Cakes can be quite versatile as gifts, although we mainly think about them as a birthday thing, they are appropriate for many different occasions or reasons.
And there are a few different iterations of cake gifts depending on where you look, that could be more suitable for one occasion than another. At Sponge we think it’s important to have plenty of options when it comes to cake gifts, so we offer a variety of cake gifting options that are available for delivery across the UK.
Here are some of our cake gift options:
Whole Cakes
We have plenty of flavour options to choose from in our whole cakes range, we also have free from cake ranges so that everyone can enjoy a delicious cake gift. Here are some of the flavour options in our standard cake range:
Speculoos Cake - This Belgian-style speculoos cake is full of sugar and spice and all things nice! A comforting and warming sponge with a deep caramel flavour and hints of cinnamon and other spices. The sponge is held together with a thick layer of buttercream which is infused with speculoos - a caramelised biscuit spread. More of the speculoos buttercream is spread over the top and then covered with a generous speculoos crumb. This Speculoos Cake is not one to be missed!
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.
Pinata Cake - Our Pinata Cake has a rich and deep four layered chocolate sponge cake, smothered in chocolate buttercream and chocolate flakes, with a fun and colourful surprise centre. Perfect for birthday celebrations!
Millionaires Cake - Half of the sponge is hand-made with natural vanilla flavouring and free range eggs and the other half is made with indulgent chocolate. Caramel and natural toffee flavouring create a luxurious buttercream. Pretty drizzled milk and white chocolate on the top.
These are just a few options there are plenty of other flavours to choose from in our standard range, as well as our gluten free cake range, dairy free cake range, vegan cake range, and our gluten and dairy free cake range.
