Classic British Cakes We All Know and Love
Some cakes have stood the test of time in British households:
Victoria Sponge – A light sponge filled with jam and cream.
Battenberg – Iconic pink and yellow squares wrapped in marzipan.
Fruit Cake – Rich and dense, often enjoyed at Christmas or weddings.
School Cake – A nostalgic vanilla sponge topped with icing and sprinkles.
At Cake Trays, we embrace these traditions while offering our own take with modern designs. Explore our Cake Bake Trays, including school cake favourites, here: https://caketrays.co.uk/collections/cake-bake-trays

Bringing the Old and New Together
What makes Cake Trays unique is our ability to combine the best of both worlds. For example, you might order a vintage-style heart cake decorated with pearls and bows, but with a flavour inspired by classic British desserts like lemon drizzle or Victoria sponge. Or perhaps you'd like a modern drip cake styled with traditional touches like fresh cream and berries.
We also create stunning wedding cakes that balance elegance with personalisation. Browse our Wedding & Engagement Cakes Collection here: https://caketrays.co.uk/collections/wedding-nikkah-engagement-cakes
