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.

Our technologies ensure evenly textured sponge, precisely dosed fillings and just the right amount of toppings.
