Choosing a flavour should be the fun part — but with a dozen options it can also be the part that stalls the order. Here's a plain-English guide to the flavours we're asked for most, what they taste like, and what they're best for. (Across the Gulf, pistachio, rose and Lotus Biscoff have been the "flavours of the moment" for the last couple of years.)

Pistachio & rose

Nutty, fragrant and a little floral — the Middle Eastern flavour pairing that looks as good as it tastes with crushed pistachios and dried rose petals on top. Perfect for Eid gatherings, engagements, anniversaries and anyone who finds ordinary cakes "too sweet".

Lotus Biscoff & Biscoff caramel

Creamy, caramelised, spiced-biscuit sweetness with a bit of crunch. Loved by teens and 20-somethings; brilliant as a cheesecake too. Ask for a Biscoff drip and biscuit crumb.

Red velvet

Soft, lightly cocoa, with a tangy cream frosting. A reliable crowd-pleaser that looks dramatic in red with a crumb finish — great for 18th birthdays and anniversaries.

Butterscotch praline

Buttery caramel with crunchy nut praline. Nostalgic, a favourite for dads and grandparents, and it holds up well in the heat.

Chocolate: ganache, truffle, Black Forest

The flavour everyone agrees on. Go dark and rich with ganache or truffle, or lighter with Black Forest cherry. Our chocolate cakes come in a dozen styles.
