Right. This one’s a bit of a showstopper. You know those cakes that look like they belong on a dessert table at a fancy party? This is one of them. It’s a tower – two or three tiers of cake, covered in a glossy drip, and piled high with fresh fruit. And on top? A giant waffle cone, like an ice cream cone but bigger, filled with even more fruit and a drizzle of chocolate. It’s fruity, it’s drippy, it’s dramatic. And it’s delicious. Someone asked me a while back: “can you make a cake for my daughter’s 16th birthday? She loves fruit, chocolate, and ice cream cones. Something tall and impressive for photos.” I said yeah, course. I made a two‑tier vanilla cake, a lemon curd filling, a white chocolate drip, and piled fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries on top. Then I stuck a waffle cone on the very top, filled with more fruit. She screamed. Everyone took photos. That’s a win. So here it is: Fruity Cone Drip Tower Cake – available at our Bromley bakery. It’s a two‑tier tower cake (or three – just ask). Feeds 10–20 people depending on size. Perfect for a summer birthday, garden party, baby shower, bridal shower, or any celebration that calls for something fruity, fun, and fabulous. What’s in it? Sponge – vanilla, lemon, or strawberry. Your choice. Lemon is lovely with fruit – fresh and zesty. Strawberry is extra pink and fruity inside. Filling – a layer of lemon curd, raspberry jam, or strawberry compote between the tiers. Keeps it moist and fruity. Frosting – smooth buttercream or whipped cream. White, pale pink, or pale yellow – keeps the fruit as the star. The drip – a glossy white chocolate or dark chocolate drip round the top edge of each tier. Looks like a waterfall. Tastes amazing. The cone – a real waffle cone (or sugar cone) sitting on top of the highest tier, filled with fresh fruit and a drizzle of melted chocolate. It’s like a giant ice cream sundae on a cake. The fruit – a generous pile of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and maybe some sliced kiwi – whatever looks best that week. Arranged on top of the drip and around the cone. It’s the cake that makes everyone gasp. And then they fight over the cone. Who buys this? Summer birthday cake – June, July, August – when berries are at their best. Garden party cake – perfect for afternoon tea in the sunshine. Baby shower cake – pink and white fruit, very pretty. Bridal shower cake – elegant and fruity. Sweet 16 cake – dramatic and fun. Just because – you want a cake that’s a whole experience. Honestly? Anyone who’s ever wished a fruit platter was a cake. Can I get a different type of cone? Yes. Sugar cone, waffle cone, even a gluten‑free cone. Just ask. Can I change the fruit? Absolutely. Tell me what you like – peaches, mango, cherries, grapes. I’ll use what’s in season. Can I add a message or name? Course. “Happy 16th”, “Summer Baby”, “Love” – I’ll pipe it on the side in a matching colour. How much notice? At least a week for a tower cake. The fruit needs to be fresh. Order online or message me – I’ll be honest. Collection or delivery? Collect from our Bromley shop or local delivery if you're nearby. A tower cake is tall – I recommend delivery for safety. One thing to mention… The fresh fruit is best eaten the same day – it will last overnight in the fridge, but the berries might go soft. The cone is real – it can get a little soft from the fruit juice, so don’t leave it sitting for hours. Also, the drip is chocolate – keep the cake cool but not fridged. Right. That’s the Fruity Cone Drip Tower one done.For the people who believe that cake should be a party. And that fruit belongs on top of everything.
