I have always believed that every cheesecake tells a story. While I love my classic flavours, there's nothing more exciting to me than creating something truly unique and personal. The joy of a bespoke request is that it allows me to bring your dream flavour to life.
Thinking of a custom cheesecake can seem a little intimidating, but trust me, it’s a fun and simple process. All you need to do is get in touch with your idea—it could be a favourite chocolate bar, a fruit that reminds you of a favourite season, or a combination you've always wanted to try.
When it comes to bespoke orders for events we will chat about your ideas, and I'll use my expertise to craft a flavour that is not only delicious but perfectly suited for your occasion.
A Match Made in Heaven: The Science Behind Salty & Sweet
One of my favourite things to do is play with flavour combinations, and nothing is more magical than the power of salty and sweet. When you get that perfect balance, it creates a flavour profile that is incredibly moreish and satisfying.
The science behind it is fascinatingly simple. Salt works to enhance and balance sweetness. A touch of salt on a rich, sweet flavour can cut through its richness and make the other notes pop. This combination excites different parts of your taste buds, creating a more complex and satisfying experience that keeps you coming back for more.
A perfect example is our new Peanut Butter cheesecake. The subtle savoury notes of the peanut butter work wonderfully to balance the creamy sweetness of the cheesecake, making it an utterly irresistible treat. If you haven’t tried this yet I certainly recommend you do, especially if you’re a big fan of peanut butter like me.
Our Guide to Flavour Combinations
The possibilities for cheesecakes flavour combinations are endless. Here is a guide to some ideas for flavour combinations, from the familiar to the truly unique:
· The Classics: The perfect choice for a crowd-pleasing dessert. Think classic pairings like Chocolate Orange, Raspberry Ripple, or Lemon and White Chocolate.
· A Twist on the Classic: We love taking a well-known flavour and adding our own spin. Our White Chocolate & Biscoff is a creamy take on a popular biscuit, while our Rhubarb & Custard Crumble combines two nostalgic British favourites.
· Bold & Unique: For those who want something truly different. I love playing with more daring and unexpected combinations that are far beyond the basic menu. For something memorable, why not think about a Chilli & Chocolate cheesecake that offers a decadent flavour with a subtle, fiery kick? Or a Rose & Pistachio combination which is beautifully delicate and sophisticated. For a truly unique autumn flavour, you could look at a Spiced Pear & Ginger cheesecake, with the warm spice of ginger perfectly complementing the sweet pear. And for a refreshing and bold treat, then a Gin & Elderflower cheesecake, inspired by the classic cocktail, could be a great talking point.
