Is there really a better combination than vanilla and chocolate? These two flavours compliment each other so well that they have become the default for so many treats. And it is easy to understand why. Vanilla is a delicate yet complicated flavour that perfectly compliments the velvety strength of chocolate. At Cakes & Bakes, we believe that the best iteration of this flavour combination is probably the Black Forest Cake. This classic treat has been loved for generations by adults and children alike. Perfect for birthdays and other big celebrations, this cake is always a smash!
Even when newer, more exciting tastes enter the market, black forest cakes will still be a popular dessert. The flavour combination of delicious chocolate cake and silky smooth vanilla cream hasn't changed much over the years or from one region to the next. The gorgeous sugar-dipped cherries on top of the cake and the cherries you bite into between layers contribute to the dessert's nostalgic taste.
If that sounds appealing to you, why not try our amazing version of the legendary Black Forest Cake?!

If you've ever had Nutella or Ferrero Rocher, you understand what we're talking about. The flavour combination of hazelnuts and chocolate is absolutely heavenly! The nuttiness and softness of hazelnut pairs beautifully with the strong character of chocolate. Because this flavour combination is so wonderful it works for every occasion. But because it is so lush and comforting, we tend to prefer it for a romantic evening treat, a winter holiday get together or a birthday party.
If all that talk of hazelnut and chocolate has made you a bit peckish, Cakes & Bakes is here to help! Discover our lavish Ferrero Rocher Cake and our delightful Nutella Temptations Cake. These two creations are a great example of how chocolate and hazelnut can cushion to create the perfect treat.
If you like refreshing and delicate flavours, vanilla and blueberry is the perfect flavour combination for you. Blueberry has a very characterised taste that often evokes the innocence and carelessness of childhood. It is fresh, slightly acidic and a beautiful sweet. When mixed with vanilla, the notes of both flavours work together to create a very airy taste with a bit of a kit and a big load of sweetness.
If you want to be projected into a dream with a simple bite, this flavour combination is for you! Trust us and try our Blueberry Cake to turn your next celebration into your own little corner of heaven.
Pineapple works well in fruit salads and cocktails but it is also a wonderful cake flavour! It got very popular in the 1970s and a lot of people made delicious cakes with it. Sadly, it has never met the same amount of love since and we think it is a shame. At the time it was often paired with vanilla but we think the best combination is pineapple and chocolate. The lush smoothness of chocolate is perfectly complemented by the sweet and vibrant tartness of pineapple. We would even add that the juicy and slightly fibrous texture of pineapple perfectly pairs with a soft sponge cake.
We really hope that pineapple cakes are going to experience another wind of popularity but with a chocolate twist this time. Add a bit of tropical fun to your next celebration with our extravagant Pineapple Fruit Cake.
With this last combination, we really wanted to introduce you to a slightly less common but incredible pairing: Raspberry and Rose. Rose is a very unique ingredient that, if used in excess, may easily taste "soapy." However, when well balanced and paired with the sweetness and acidity of raspberry it can be unforgettable. Raspberries' flavour appears to be enhanced by rose, giving it a more nuanced and opulent flavour. We love this combination so much that we wish we had invented it but in reality raspberry and rose, are a traditional flavour combination in French pastry, appearing in items like macarons, cakes, choux and éclairs, among others.
Give a go to this unique and elegant flavour combination by trying our gorgeous Raspberry Cupcakes. These stunning treats will bring a touch of glamour to any table with their beautiful pink colour and sprinkle of dried rose petals!
