Description
My large Cherry Bakewell Sandwich is a favourite – and it looks awesome too. Light, moist, dairy free sponge, delicately but definitely almondy, and liberally sprinkled with toasted sliced almonds on top. Oozing with cherry jam for the perfect Bakewell Tart alternative.
No gluten? No problem: all my cakes are available in a gluten free option and are just as moist and tasty.
Please note that these larger cakes are too big for the letterbox so someone must be home to take delivery.

He he, thank you Elaine – the Cherry Bakewell is one of my faves too – in fact I’ve just had an early brunch slice myself :-()
Claire (verified owner) –
This was a lovely cake and it went very quickly at our little celebration with friends. It was moist and very tasty, without the almond being overly powerful. Perfect. Thank you.
