How to care for your cake on collection
-
Your cake will be chilled prior to collection. If you will be travelling with your cake again after collection, we recommend chilling the cake until this time. Please chill your cake if it has fruit on it, if not consuming the same day.
-
Cakes should be kept flat during transport. If driving, please place your cake in the boot of your car, this is by far the safest place for it. Failing this the footwell by the passenger seat. If you place your cake on the seat or hold it during travel we cannot be held responsible for your cake not arriving in one piece.
-
In hot weather, you may need to refrigerate your cake after collection. During the summer every effort is made to make your cake more heat stable. Your cake is iced in buttercream or ganache, however, and chocolate and butter will melt in hot weather.
-
If your cake has a long journey please inform us when booking. This will need to be taken into account when designing your cake.
-
Finally, buttercream cakes can be fragile so please take care when handling them. We want your cake to be as beautiful when it reaches it's final destination as it was when you collected it from us here at Red Robin Pantry.

CAKE DESIGN
This isn't buttercream as
you've seen it before.
As one of the top buttercream specialists in Cornwall, we take buttercream to whole new heights, creating unique and captivating showstoppers that will take your breath away!
We'd also like to say a huge thank you to all our past couples who voted for us in the 2023 South West Wedding Award. We were over the moon to be named South West Cake Designer Of The Year 2023
Why Buttercream?
All of our cakes are decorated with Italian meringue buttercream or ganache, even the vegan ones.
Unlike standard American buttercream, it is deliciously light, delicate and not at all too sweet, and because the meringue is made using a sugar syrup it holds up so much better on a hot sunny day too.
It's definitely worth the extra effort!
Edible Fresh Flowers
Sadly, flowers grown for the floristry industry are not safe to decorate your cake with, as many are toxic and unless your florist grows them themselves, they are likely sprayed with non-food grade chemicals.
Here at Red Robin Pantry, we work exclusively with locally & sustainably grown edible flowers when decorating our cakes, this way you know everything on your cake is safe for you and your guests. Many of our flowers are now grown in our own garden, grown from seed in our little greenhouse. But when we don't have the right flowers or colours we source food safe flowers from other local flower flowers right here in Cornwall!
You can also head to our blog for more information about edible flowers through the seasons, head to a blog to see what flowers you can expect the be in season on your wedding day.
Painted Buttercream
We love buttercream as it's just such a versatile medium for decorating cakes. From simple pallet knife textured finishes to fully painted impasto works of art. In fact painting with buttercream is our signature style here at Red Robin Pantry, we love using it to create texture, paint beautiful flowers or landscape scenes. A simply iced buttercream cake makes the perfect canvas, and anything that can be painted with acrylics and oil paints can be recreated in buttercream or chocolate cream. The great thing too, is that because we use Italian meringue buttercream for all of our cakes it holds up beautifully on a summers day, even in a warm marquee. So we can still create beautiful 3-D edible paintings for your wedding cake and you don't need to worry one jot about it melting on your big day. Maybe don't pop it out in full direct midday sun though, nothing made from butter can cope with that!!!
Cake Flavours
We bake all of our cakes with organic and/or sustainably sourced ingredients, each cake consists of four layers of sponge filled with complementing preserve where applicable and filled either with Italian meringue buttercream or ganache - that includes our vegan alternatives too!
We have over 20 fabulous flavours for you to decide between from a simple Madagascan vanilla Victoria Sponge with Raspberry & Strawberry Conserve or Carrot & Walnut with Cinnamon Italian meringue buttercream to our more unusual flavours such as our hugely popular Red Wine Velvet - big sister to the classic red velvet! New for 2024 weddings we have our peach & basil bellini cake - a ground almond sponge with a Prosecco drizzle filled with a peach & basil conserve and a vanilla Italian meringue buttercream, yum!!
Tastings & Consultations
We believe that your wedding cake should be the best cake that you've ever eaten or at least damn close! Else why bother?
All of our wedding cakes and dessert tables are completely bespoke. We offer tastings and consultations, where we can discuss your vision for your big day, and of course, you can try some of our delicious layer cakes.
If you're not able to come along for a tasting, we can post samples out to you next day delivery for you to try at home at your own leisure.
Our Ethos
Sustainability & our impact on the environment is extremely important to us at Red Robin Pantry. We source organic, sustainable & locally sourced produce where ever possible. We use organic & cacao trace chocolate in all of our confections, local dairy & eggs for all of our cakes, & we only decorate our cakes with seasonal edible flowers grown in Devon & Cornwall, and if possible our own garden!
All of our chocolate and confectionery packaging is plastic free and biodigradable or compostable.
