Summer Berries: The fruit of the moment

There’s just something about fruit cake in summer. Not fruit cake fruit cake (we’ll save that for Christmas). We’re talking fluffy sponge, juicy berries, fresh flavours and the kind of cakes that belong at garden parties, BBQs and sunny afternoons with a cup of tea. From strawberries and cream to raspberry-filled slices of joy, here are the cakes we’ll be reaching for all summer long.

Strawberry Sprinkle Cake: pure joy in cake form

If summer had a birthday cake, this would be it. Our Strawberry Sprinkle Cake takes fluffy vanilla sponge, smooth strawberry buttercream and sweet strawberry jam, then finishes the whole thing with colourful strand sprinkles for maximum fun. It’s bright, cheerful and unapologetically nostalgic; the kind of cake that feels at home at children’s parties, office birthdays or random Tuesdays that needed improving.

There’s something very joyful about strawberry cake. Maybe it’s the colour. Maybe it’s the sprinkles. Maybe it’s because strawberry flavour instantly reminds everyone of summer.

Available in Standard & Gluten Free.

White Chocolate & Raspberry: the fruity one with a fancy side

Our White Chocolate & Raspberry cake balances fruity sharpness with creamy sweetness for the ultimate summer slice. Two layers of soft vanilla sponge are filled with thick raspberry buttercream, creamy white chocolate chunks and raspberry gems, finished with a white chocolate drizzle and raspberry pieces. It’s bright, fresh and packed with flavour and texture in every bite; sweet, slightly tangy and very hard to share.

This is the cake for:
Garden parties
Summer birthdays
Dessert tables

“I’ll bring the cake” moments

Available in Standard, Gluten Free & Vegan.

Strawberries & Cream: the classic summer duo. 

Some flavour combinations just belong together.

Our Strawberries & Cream cake is inspired by long afternoons in the sunshine, Wimbledon watching and the unmistakable feeling that British summer has finally arrived. Soft vanilla sponge is layered with fruity strawberry flavour and smooth cream-inspired buttercream for a cake that feels light, nostalgic and dangerously easy to go back for another slice. It’s simple, classic and exactly the kind of thing you want on the table at a summer get-together.

Best served:
Outside
With tea
With people who promise they’ll “just have a small slice”

Available in Standard, Gluten Free & Vegan.

Why summer cakes hit the spot

Maybe it’s because fruit flavours feel lighter. Maybe it’s because cake eaten in the sunshine somehow tastes better.

But there’s something about summer baking that feels a little more relaxed. More colourful. More joyful.

And while we’ll always love rich chocolate cake and cosy autumn flavours, summer is the season for berries, cream, sprinkles and cakes that make people smile before they’ve even taken a bite.

We’re ready for seconds already!
