Menu

Cakes

Cut to order from whatever came out of the oven that morning.

Chocolate Layer Cake

Cakes

Four layers of dark chocolate sponge and a ganache that sets just soft. Sold by the slice.

Classic Cheesecake

Cakes

Baked slow in a water bath on a brown butter base. Plain on purpose.

Berry Cheesecake

Cakes

The same cheesecake under blackberries, blueberries and redcurrants in their own syrup.

Lemon Drizzle

Cakes

A tight lemon loaf soaked in syrup while warm, then iced. Sharp enough to be interesting.

Vanilla Cupcake

Cakes

Madagascar vanilla sponge, Swiss meringue buttercream, sprinkles because it would be sad without them.

Fudge Brownie

Cakes

Underbaked on purpose. Dense, glossy topped, closer to truffle than cake.

Chocolate Éclair

Cakes

Choux baked until properly dry, filled with crème pâtissière, dipped in dark chocolate.

Fruit Tart

Cakes

Sweet pastry, vanilla crème pâtissière, whatever fruit is worth buying that week.

Fruit Tartlet

Cakes

The same tart, made small, so you can have one without committing to an afternoon.
