Layer Cakes

Layer cakes offer the ultimate in indulgence for birthdays and special occasions, or just to enjoy as a special treat. From Black Forest gateaux to cream-filled carrot cake, all layer cakes are made by alternating sponge cake with syrup and creamy fillings, jams or icings, and topping each creation with decorations including whipped cream stars, chocolate coating or sprinkled nuts, chocolates or coconut.

Round Layer Cakes

Whether large or small, multi-layered or with just two layers, round layer cakes come in every color, texture and taste, from birthday cakes and wedding cakes, to simple sponges for a weekend treat.

Accurate depositing of batters, fillings and toppings, and gentle handling ensures perfectly layered products and minimal waste.

Sheet Layer Cakes

Sponge layers are baked in large rectangular tray and sandwiched together with one or more imaginative fillings, and finished with toppings and decorations.

Easy to cut into individually sized portions, sheet layer cakes are ideal for packaging into slices that can be enjoyed as a treat anywhere during the day or evening.
