Sweet cakes are a unique type of confectionery that combines various sweets and candies to create a delicious cake-like treat. They are made entirely of sweets, with no sponge or traditional cake base.

The shape of each cake is defined by a wall of sweets such as jelly babies, marshmallows , or other soft sweets mounted onto cocktail sweets and pushed into a polystyrene base. It’s up to you to choose the colour of the base e.g. pink for a girl, blue for a boy, etc., or any other colour you wish. Please see the drop down menu with each cake. Behind the wall of sweets, the void is filled with a variety of other delicious confectionery. After the top is decorated, the whole sweet cake and base is securely shrink-wrapped with strong transparent film.
