Victoria Sponge Cake

One of the most popular cake fillings is the classic Victoria sponge recipe. The simple but delicious cake filling is popular around the world and is guaranteed to be well received by your guests.

Chocolate cakes are hugely popular the world over and can come in a number of varieties. Whether you want a chocolate layer cake, a chocolate truffle cake, a black forest cake or chocolate fudge cake for your birthday party, wedding or anniversary party it is sure to be hugely enjoyed.

Carrot cake

Carrots might seem like an unlikely ingredient to put in a cake but since the birth of the carrot cake in the 1960’s in America it has gone on to become of the most popular cakes on both sides of the pond. For many carrot cake lovers one of the things they love most is the topping of white icing or cream cheese icing.

Fruit Cake

Fruit cakes have been around for a very long time and are now popular all around the world, in particular the United States, the UK and Europe. Dating back to the Romans, fruit cakes have changed a lot. The biggest change is the availability of sugar and its fruit preservation qualities.
