It's not often we do self promotion items, but when we do we like to put a lot of love into them. With that in mind we managed to source these delicious 'cakes in a jar' courtesy of Lulubelles Cakes. They are completely bespoke, hand finished (tip of the hat to Andy & Rez) limited edition Parent Cakes and will be sent out to some of our loveliest clients.
