Flavours

Kerry’s commitment to quality and flavour ensures that only the finest ingredients are used and that all produce is freshly baked to order. She uses traditional baking techniques to create deliciously moist cakes and fills them with silky smooth chocolate ganache and quality preserves. Whichever flavour you choose, SugarLily Cakes are made with the love they deserve.

Kerry believes the flavour of the cake should reflect your personality just as much as the design itself and likes to offer the opportunity for you to combine the tastes of your favourite sweet treats to create a cake that is deliciously perfect for you. She generally uses a base of Chocolate, White Vanilla or Caramel Mudcake to begin with, which are all delicious in their pure, unadulterated state, but can also have a twist of flavour added for those that would like something a little extra.
The flavours can be added to the actual cake itself or to the filling and it’s sometimes nice to add a preserve too for an extra dimension. There are so many wonderful combinations to choose from, the list seems endless but here is a list of flavours that work well with the different base cakes to get your tastebuds thinking:

Chocolate: Mint, Mint Choc Chip, Orange (Jaffa), Hazelnut, Coffee, Cherry & Coconut, Banana, Peanut, Coconut & Lime, Ginger & Lime, Red Wine, Favourite Liqueur or Spirit ie Rum, Whisky, Brandy, Baileys, Tia Maria, Cointreau, Grand Marnier, Butterscotch Schnapps etc

White Vanilla: Lemon, Lime, Orange, Strawberry, Raspberry, Raspberry & Coconut, Raspberry & Lemon, Raspberry & Almond, Banana, Coffee, Maple Syrup, Hazelnut, Walnut & Coffee, Rosewater & Pistachio, Pineapple & Coconut, Mango & Coconut, Lime & Coconut, Lime & Ginger, Passionfruit, Pink Strawberry Champagne, Baileys, Rum & Raisin, Peach Schnapps, Butterscotch Schnapps

Caramel: As this has a delicious warm and mellow butterscotch flavour of its own, complementary flavours are best added to the filling. White or Chocolate Ganache with Peanut, Hazelnut, Pistachio, Espresso, Baileys or Banana all work well.

Preserves & Fillings: Strawberry, Raspberry, Pear, Peach, Pineapple & Mango, Black Cherry, Blackcurrant, Kumquat, Orange, Ginger & Orange, Wild Blueberry, Lime & Ginger, Lemon Curd, Passionfruit Curd, Dulce de Leche Caramel, Biscoff Cookie Butter, Nutella, Apple Compote, Pineapple Compote
