Why We Love This

Introducing our Classic Rhubarb & Custard Cake, a joyful twist on a classic British favourite.
Bursting with nostalgic charm and vibrant colour, this handcrafted cake combines timeless flavour with playful, modern design.

Fluffy Sponge Layers – Four tiers of light, airy sponge baked to golden perfection, creating the perfect base for bold, fruity flavours.

Rhubarb & Custard Filling – A creamy, tangy filling of traditional custard and sweet rhubarb delifruit, delivering a satisfying balance of tart and smooth.

Italian Meringue Buttercream – Silky and luxurious, this hand-swirled buttercream in cheerful pink and yellow hues wraps the cake in a nostalgic glow.

Playful Finishing Touches – Finished with delicate white sugar pearls for a touch of whimsy and texture, making it as eye-catching as it is indulgent.

Perfect for birthdays, tea parties, or any occasion that calls for something uniquely nostalgic and irresistibly delicious. Please note that as Rhubarb is a natural ingredient, colour may vary slightly.

It was gone in no time

Got this as a surprise at a party outside of our home and had to transport the cake. I left it in the car boot overnight, no packaging removed and just took the ice out, or what was left, ca. 4hrs before serving it. The cake was perfect, not squashed by pothole bumps, and I didn't get a piece as everybody said it was so delicious.

Hi there! Thank you for leaving such a lovely review for our Classic Rhubarb & Custard Sponge Cake. We're so glad to hear that it was a hit at your party and that it survived the journey in your car boot. We're sorry you didn't get a chance to have a slice, but we're happy to hear that everyone else enjoyed it so much. Thanks for choosing our cake for your special occasion! :) Kind regards, The PV Team
