Christmas Cake Flavours
We have a wonderful Christmas Cake range – there's something for everyone this year:
Christmas Pinata Cake - This decadent Red Velvet Snowball Cake has four layers of rich red velvet sponge and velvety smooth vanilla buttercream. It is smothered all over with white chocolate buttercream and white chocolate flakes to create a stunning snowball effect. Inside, we’ve hidden a treat to wow the whole family; red, green, white, and gold chocolate beans. Perfect as the treat to enjoy with your favourite drink or as dessert after your festive meal. Comes with festive Christmas Tree topper.
Spiced Orange and Cranberry Cake - Due to popular demand our Spiced Orange & Cranberry Sponge has returned once again, to be enjoyed by all! Delicious whole cranberries are baked into the sponge along with free range eggs, natural orange flavouring, warming mixed spices, ginger and cloves. Fresh orange juice is drizzled on top with crunchy Demerara sugar. And it’s available as a gluten free cake as well!
Mince Pie Cake - A Sponge with fruity mincemeat baked into it, along with mixed spice and brown sugar. It's sandwiched together with a white as snow vanilla buttercream and topped with more vanilla buttercream and a festive crumble. Enjoy a wedge with a Christmas tipple or a cup of tea over the festive season! And if you’re gluten free, we’ve created a gluten free version too.
Christmas Sharing Sponge - This cake contains four different flavours with four wedges of each Christmas special - Mince Pie, Spiced Orange & Cranberry, Sticky Toffee and Pumpkin Spiced Latte. It's perfect for feeding a group where everyone likes different flavours (and to avoid any Christmas arguments!) or it's ideal if you want to sample a few of our flavours in one go...
New Christmas Cakes for 2023
We’ve been working in the background to bring you some fabulous new cakes to make it a merry Xmas for many households across the UK. Here are some of the new products available for delivery in the run up to Christmas 2023.

Baby Baubles – We’ve created a new way to adorn your Christmas Tree this year. Take your edible Xmas tree decorations to the next level by hanging some of these mini sponge cakes on it rather than chocolates. These baby sponges look so cute on a tree this time of year (even if we do say so ourselves), we’re sure the whole family will love them. And they are available in traditional, and quirky flavours, as well as gluten free, and vegan options.
Secret Sponge – Not sure what to get your Secret Santa, or just want to send someone a mystery Christmas gift to make them smile? Send them a Secret Sponge.

As we all know, delivery companies get extremely busy in the run up to the festive season, so we do recommend you select your delivery date for a few days before the last Christmas delivery date. We want everyone to have a happy Christmas, and this helps to avoid any disappointment.
You can select a specific date from our handy calendar in the check out, and if you want it to be delivered in time for Christmas Day. Don’t worry our cakes stay fresh for up to 10 days in their sealed packaging so your Christmas delights will still be delicious on Christmas Day!
Cakes can be frozen for up to 6 months, so if you want to be cautious and order your cake in advance then just pop them in the freezer in their packaging. Then take them out a day or two in advance so that they are at room temperature before the big day.
