About

There’s something very retro about a triple layer cake. Not only do you get more of the good stuff– the creamy icing – but it looks impressive, too. Just don’t skimp on the espresso. We use our house blend from Bethnal Green’s Square Mile Coffee Roasters as we feel it elevates the cake to greatness.
