FLAVOURS & FILLINGS
At Rachel’s Cake House I have developed delicious recipes using our own free range eggs, pure butter and flour from a small producer.
My suggested cake and filling combinations are detailed here however, if you would like a different combination or flavour that is not listed just ask, anything is possible.
Cakes are made with a minimum of three layers of sponge with two layers of filling. They can be covered with marzipan, dark, milk or white chocolate ganache or buttercream before a final layer of sugarpaste or buttercream.
