A four-layer salted caramel sponge soaked in Madagascar vanilla syrup, sandwiched with house-made salted caramel and a whipped mascarpone buttercream. Finished with cocoa nib brittle and a drizzle of fleur de sel caramel — sweet, smoky, just the right amount of salt.

From the bakery

How to serve it.

This cake travels best at room temperature. If yours arrives chilled, let it sit out for 20–30 minutes before slicing — the buttercream relaxes, the caramel softens, and everything just tastes more like itself. A sharp knife dipped in hot water gives the cleanest slices.

Ordered for my wife’s birthday — gone in 15 minutes
We’ve tried a lot of bakeries in Melbourne. This one is in a different league. The caramel is genuinely salted (not just sweet pretending), and the sponge is so light it almost falls apart on the fork. Got the 8" for eight people and we ate the whole thing.

Beat my favourite patisserie
I ordered this for an anniversary dinner expecting "nice" and got "stop the room, what is this." The brittle on top adds a textural thing I wasn’t expecting and the mascarpone keeps the sweetness in check. Will reorder for every milestone.

Worth the two-day wait
Initially hesitant about the 2-day lead time but absolutely worth planning ahead for. The team kept me updated, delivery was on time, and the cake landed in perfect condition (still sealed, still cold packs intact).

The caramel ratio is perfect
You can tell when caramel is made from a tub versus actual stovetop caramel. This is the real thing — bittersweet, a little smoky, and the salt doesn’t cross the line. The whole cake feels considered.
