Right. This one's a bit romantic.
Heart shaped cake. Seven inches. Feeds about 4-6 people depending how greedy you are. And it comes with a sparkler. Not a candle. A proper sparkler. The kind that fizzes and crackles and makes everything look magical.
Why a sparkler?
Good question. Candles are fine. Candles are classic. But sparklers? Sparklers are dramatic. They make a moment. You light it, it crackles, everyone goes oooh, and your photos look incredible.
Perfect for proposals. Anniversaries. Valentine's. Romantic birthdays. Or just because you fancy being dramatic with your cake.
What you need to know about the cake.
It's vanilla sponge. Our proper one. Light. Fluffy. Real vanilla. None of that artificial nonsense. Covered in smooth vanilla buttercream. Simple. Classic. Lets the heart shape do the talking.
Piped round the edge nice. Sometimes a few sprinkles if I'm feeling fancy. But mostly just clean and pretty. You want it to look good with the sparkler going off.
Seven inches. Feeds 4-6. Small and intimate. Perfect for two people with leftovers. Or four people fighting over the last bit.
What you need to know about the sparkler.
It's a cake sparkler. Designed for cakes. Not the big ones from fireworks night. Smaller. Safer. Sticks in the cake nicely.
Burns for about a minute. Maybe a bit less. That's plenty. Long enough for photos. Long enough for the moment. Not so long it sets fire to anything.
Comes separately. Not stuck in the cake already. You push it in just before lighting. Obvious but got to say it.
Who's buying this?
Couples. Anniversaries. Valentine's. Just because.
Proposals. Big one. You want photos to look good? This helps.
Romantic birthdays. 30th. 40th. Any age with someone special.
Girlfriend's birthday. Boyfriend's birthday. Partner's birthday.
Wedding anniversaries. 1st. 10th. 50th. Love lasts.
Honestly anyone who wants their cake to have a wow moment.
Can I get a different flavour?
Yeah. Just ask. Chocolate. Strawberry. Red velvet. Whatever. Might cost a bit more depending. Message me and we'll sort it.
Can I get a different colour sparkler?
They're usually gold or silver. Depends what I've got. If you want a specific colour message me and I'll see what I can do.
When should I order?
Few days notice if you can. Sparklers I've usually got. Cake needs time. Week is safe. Two weeks if you want something fancy.
Last minute? Message anyway. Might be able to help.
Collection or delivery?
Collect from the shop. Or I can deliver local. Sparkler and cake together. Careful with the sparkler obviously. It's not lit. Just a sparkler. But still. Don't let kids play with it.
One thing to mention.
Sparklers are hot. Obviously. They burn. Light it, let it do its thing, blow it out or let it burn out, then take it out before eating. Don't eat the sparkler. Shouldn't have to say that but here we are.
Also keep away from kids. And curtains. And hair. And flammable stuff. Common sense really.
Right. That's the heart sparkler cake done.
Romantic. Dramatic. Perfect for moments you want to remember.
