A gateau worthy of the name. Our Salted Caramel Custard Gateau layers light vanilla sponge with smooth caramel crème pâtissière, silky vanilla crème pâtissière, and salted caramel buttercream — finished with elegant piped cream, vanilla dollops, caramel drops, and delicate white chocolate flicks. Rich, refined, and made fresh to order by our award-winning Melbourne team.
This is a cake built in layers, each one adding to the last. Tender vanilla sponge is filled with a smooth caramel crème pâtissière and a silky vanilla crème pâtissière, then wrapped in salted caramel buttercream that ties it together with a gentle sweet-salty balance. The top is finished with piped cream peaks, dollops of vanilla and caramel, and delicate white chocolate flicks — understated, elegant, and every bit as impressive when it's cut as when it arrives. This is a proper gateau, made for people who appreciate one.
Available in one standard size, serving approximately 14 people. A generous celebration cake, ready as shown.
This cake is available exactly as pictured — it is not customisable, and is not available in a gluten-friendly version. It contains no nuts as an ingredient.
