A Razzmatazz Cake: Delicious Inside and Out
At Razzmatazz Cakes, we believe a cake should taste just as spectacular as it looks. That’s why every single one of our bespoke creations is made with love, care, and a whole lot of flavour. With a tempting menu of mouth-watering options, there’s something to suit every taste and celebration.
Quality You Can Taste
Each cake is freshly baked to order in our London kitchen using only the finest ingredients—no preservatives, no shortcuts.
From premium cake flour to rich Belgian chocolate and the creamiest dairy products, we use top-tier ingredients because we know they make all the difference.
Our sponges are handcrafted in small batches and layered with our own homemade buttercreams, chocolate ganache, and naturally flavoured syrups. Every cake tier is finished with a generous coat of silky white or dark Belgian chocolate ganache, creating the perfect smooth base before being covered in fondant and transformed into something truly showstopping.
What’s in the Mix?
Essential cake ingredients include:
Free range eggs, milk, butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder, Belgian chocolate, buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemons, and oranges.
We also use:
- Almonds in our Amazing Almond Cake and Traditional English Fruit Cake
- Peanuts in our Crunchy Chocolate Peanut-Butter Caramel Cake
- Alcohol in some of our premium flavours (but don’t worry, this can be left out if needed)
Each Razzmatazz cake features three layers of moist, flavoursome sponge and two layers of delicious filling.
If you have a unique flavour request that isn’t listed, just ask and we’ll do our best to bring your idea to life.

black cake; a rich, dark cake of Caribbean origin containing dried or candied fruit soaked in rum or brandy and spice.
Black cake definition-Merriam Webster dictionary
Jamaican Rum Rich fruit cake/black cake
Christmases, christenings, weddings, even wakes, and other celebrations growing up were never complete without a highly revered, rich and decadent, rum-soaked fruit cake taking centre stage on the dining table. Rum cakes are famous throughout the Caribbean, particularly in English-speaking countries like Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados and Guyana. Food historians believe that British colonialists bought rum cakes to the Caribbean islands during the days of colonialism in the form of Christmas/plum pudding. Subsequently, the Caribbean people added their twist to the Christmas pudding, making black cake what it is today!
The west-Indian rum fruit cake, or black cake as it is also commonly known, is famous for its uniquely boozy, dense texture, dark colour, and rich and robust taste; this is not a cake for the faint-hearted.
Our rich fruit cake recipe is a closely guarded secret passed down through my family's generations. At its heart is dried macerated fruit such as currants, raisins, sultanas, and mixed peel, which we blend finely and then soak in rich sweet sherry and overproof white Jamaican rum for months and often years on end. We then add the fruit mixture to the cake batter, aromatic flavourings, zest, and warm spices. After baking, during the maturation process, we feed the cake with white rum every couple of weeks, ensuring maximum depth of flavour.
IF EATING CAKE IS WRONG I DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHt.
