Black Forest Cake

Bring a sophisticated, modern edge to your next celebration with our spectacular Black Forest Chocolate Cake. While inspired by the classic German tradition, this artisan layer cake features a unique twist meticulously developed by Dhi and our team to offer a lighter, more luxurious flavor profile for your guests to enjoy at home.

The foundation of this dessert is a remarkably rich and moist chocolate cake that provides a deep cocoa base. In a departure from the traditional recipe, we fill our layers with a luscious white chocolate whipped cream, offering a silky and refined sweetness that perfectly complements the dark chocolate. To bring the signature Black Forest flair, the cream is studded with vibrant maraschino cherries, adding a bright, nostalgic pop of flavor.

Finished with a coating of delicate chocolate shavings, this cake is as visually striking as it is delicious. It is a beautiful, contemporary centerpiece designed for birthdays, anniversaries, or any occasion where you want to serve a familiar favorite with an elevated, artisan touch.

Every Black Forest Chocolate Cake is made to order with the finest ingredients in our central city studio, ensuring it arrives at your celebration fresh and looking spectacular. Secure this unique delicacy for your next event by ordering online today for scheduled pickup from our patisserie inside The Welder.

While our team takes all necessary steps to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, traces may occur due to our kitchen being small and without ‘exclusive’ production areas for all of our different recipes. It's for this reason that I can't currently meet the needs of people with serious food allergies,

Layer Cake Questions

Please read our FAQs page for an even more exhaustive list.

How many people will each size feed?

When choosing the size of cake, it's hard to say exactly how many people it will feed, but as a general guideline:

  • 15cm - provides 12-15 servings
  • 20cm - provides 20-25 servings
  • 25cm - provides 30-35 servings
Can you write something on the cake?

Yes, if you leave a note we can write something short e.g. "Happy Birthday Sam"

No Added Dairy/Gluten?

Due to recent NZ food labelling updates, I cannot claim any of my items are 'gluten-free' or 'dairy-free', only that I have not added any gluten or dairy containing ingredients.

While some of our products are made without allergen-containing ingredients, they are produced in a shared kitchen where allergens are present.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee they are safe for individuals with severe allergies.

Can I change something about the cake? e.g. decorations or ingredients

Get in touch with me if you have concerns about a specific item in a cake and we can see if we can accomodate.

We don't make custom cakes so cannot make new recipes for customers, only potentially omit ingredients or make minor changes.

Can you make me a custom cake?

Apologies but I don't make custom cakes, so cannot create something for you that's not listed on the menu.

Is it ok if we need to store it?

Yes, all of our cakes and desserts can be safely stored in the packaging we give you for 1-3 days without any change in taste or texture.

If you anticipate storing for more than this, it's best to freeze in an airtight container, however note that some of our decorations may crack from being frozen due to the expansion effect of moisture freezing.

Please let them come to room temperature before eating for the best experience.
