Sweet Panda signature menu

14 things we make often enough to keep a price list for — 13 of them cakes, in three sizes each, from £100 for a six-inch. Honey cake, Napoleon, Spartak and the rest: mostly Eastern and Central European recipes. Each one is baked for your date, so none of this is kept on a shelf.

What is on the menu?

Three sizes of each, all 5 inches tall: a six-inch cuts about 8–12 party portions, a ten-inch roughly twice that. Prices are for the cake finished as described.

What the price covers

  • a coating of ganache made with Belgian chocolate;
  • a “happy birthday” topper — whichever one is in the kitchen that week, not a choice from a catalogue;
  • one candle or six, if you want them;
  • simple decoration: berries chosen by the baker, or plain piping in buttercream.

A theme, a character, modelled figures or your own wording are decoration on top of that, and they are priced with your design rather than off a list.

The row priced by weight is sold in whole kilograms, and it is the one thing here that travels: posted anywhere in the UK for £20 by Royal Mail first class. Everything else is collected from Bracknell or delivered across Berkshire.

What do they look like?

Photographs of 3 of them, as they went out to customers — not styled for a catalogue. Decoration varies with the order, which is why no two honey cakes here look quite alike: the cake underneath is the same recipe at the same 6", 8", 10" sizes, and what changes is the fruit, the piping and whatever is written on top. The gallery has every cake we have photographed, signature and custom together.

What else do people ask?

How is a menu cake different from a custom cake?

A menu cake is a recipe we make often, priced by size — from £100 for a six-inch. A custom cake is designed around your occasion and starts at £100, because the design is most of the work. The menu is the quicker and cheaper way to a very good cake.

Can I have a menu cake decorated?

Prices are for the cake as it is described, finished the way that cake is normally finished. Flowers, a topper or a message on top are quoted on request, and anything modelled or hand-painted belongs on a custom cake instead.

How tall are they?

5 inches — the same for every size, so a ten-inch is wider than a six-inch, not taller.

How much notice do you need?

7–10 days, the same as any cake we make. These are not kept in stock: each one is baked for your date.

What allergens are in the signature menu cakes?

Our kitchen handles all major allergens (celery, gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, peanuts, sesame, soybeans, sulphur dioxide and sulphites, tree nuts). While we take every care, products may contain traces of allergens. Across the menu the ingredients that recur are almonds, eggs, gluten, milk, other nuts, peanuts and tree nuts, and each cake lists its own above.
