Cake

Melba Spiral Cake

Soft raspberry spiral sponge wraps around a creamy vanilla Mascarpone filling with roasted peaches, almond crunch, and a vibrant raspberry centre. This elegant chilled loaf cake is inspired by Peach Melba and combines the beauty of a Charlotte-style dessert with the structure of a modern slice cake.

Apricot Honey Rolls

These Roasted Apricot Honey Rolls are everything I love about early summer baking: soft, golden, fragrant, and just sweet enough. Roasting the apricots deepens their flavour and gives the rolls a beautiful jammy texture without making them overly heavy. A touch of cardamom adds warmth, while Mascarpone glaze and toasted almonds bring a bakery-style finish.

Pistachio Lemon Rolls

These Pistachio Lemon Rolls are everything a May bake should be: soft, fragrant, and just a little bit special. The richness of pistachio cream is balanced with fresh lemon zest, creating a filling that feels indulgent without being heavy.

Strawberry Lemon Streusel Crown Cake

If you love streusel cake but also want something a little different, this Strawberry Lemon Streusel Crown Cake is a beautiful twist on a classic favourite. Instead of scattering crumbs across the top, a buttery almond streusel is rolled, sliced into spirals, and arranged around the edge of the cake to create a golden crown. The centre stays open for fresh strawberries, which soften into the batter as the cake bakes.

Raspberry Vanilla Rolled Layer Cake

This Raspberry Vanilla Rolled Layer Cake combines delicate sponge layers, fresh raspberries, and light diplomat cream. Instead of traditional horizontal layers, the sponge is rolled into vertical strips, creating a beautiful spiral pattern when sliced. This elegant cake looks impressive but is surprisingly simple once you understand the technique.

Strawberry–Mint Cheesecake Rolls

A soft, cloud-like yeast dough rolled with a structured cheesecake filling, dotted with fresh strawberries and tiny flecks of mint. Light, creamy, refreshing — the perfect roll to welcome early spring.

Charlotte Royal with Apricot & Coffee-Mascarpone

The Charlotte Royal is a classic showpiece of European patisserie: a dome-shaped cake lined with thin Swiss roll slices, filled with light cream, and visually stunning when sliced. This version pairs soft vanilla sponge brushed with apricot jam with a delicate coffee-Mascarpone cream, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness, gentle fruit acidity, and aromatic warmth. The spiral pattern of the Swiss roll slices makes every slice a miniature work of art — a perfect centrepiece for a spring or café-inspired dessert table.

Rolled Crêpe Cake with Chocolate–Nut Filling

This crêpe cake is rolled, not stacked. Instead of layering dozens of crêpes with soft cream, this version is built into a spiral: overlapping crêpes are rolled with a chocolate-nut filling, then set in a round tin and chilled for clean, elegant slices.

Raspberry Rose Rolls

Raspberries bring brightness, rose adds softness, and cream cheese ties everything together. These Raspberry Rose Rolls are elegant without being fussy — a gentle, fragrant bake that feels special but still comforting.

Strawberry Rolled Layer Cake

This strawberry rolled layer cake is built from thin sponge layers, filled, rolled, and assembled into a soft spiral that slices cleanly and holds its shape. Light, elegant, and designed to showcase roasted strawberries without excess cream.
