Creating bespoke birthday cakes in London for over 10 years has put us in a prime position to report on the current trends in cake flavours and fillings. Usually, reports on cake trends tend to focus on decoration, but once the initial ‘wow’ moment has passed, it’s the inside of the cake that counts! Over the years taste has evolved from classics such as fruit cakes to newer inventions, such as rainbow cakes, and each is a delicious choice in its own right.
Here we run through the top cake flavours and fillings we offer, in order of popularity, at our cake shop. To order a birthday cake from our cake shop, take a look here for more information on our bespoke service.
These cake flavours and fillings are all available as Cakes by Robin iced cakes, cupcakes and patisserie cakes.
