Opéra: a French Génoise sponge layered with a chocolate Ganache and a flavoured butter cream of your choice (dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, blueberry or even passion fruit) finished with a dark chocolate glaze, hand crafted chocolate tiles. This cake can come as a two to five tier cake and be decorated entirely with chocolate or even with summer fruits.

“Corinne provided our wedding cake, we wanted something a bit different and we love French baking so this was perfect! We had a two tier French opera cake and dozens on French tartlettes, our guests loved them and Corinne was a pleasure to work with. Thanks so much!”

is a tower of tiny profiteroles which can be filled with either chocolate, vanilla, coffee, pistachio or even passion fruit pastry cream. The cake is then drizzled with golden caramel. It can also be adorned with flowers, sugared almonds and nougatine…

Naked Cake

If you’re not a big fan of fondant icing this is a stunning alternative. Here at Gourmandises we use a genoise sponge as a base, it is lighter than the traditional one, we bespoke the butter cream to your taste. We make a meringue buttercream, which again is lighter than the one traditionally used, it can be flavoured to your taste, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, salted caramel, raspberry, strawberry, cherry, blueberrry or even passion fruit or lemon…the choice is yours. The naked cake can be presented as a two to five tiers or even more.
