A rose on top is just showing off, in the nicest way. Carrot Cake in Bloom is a proper carrot cake, warmly spiced sponge layered with soft cream cheese frosting, finished with a single fresh rose and a scatter of petals. It is the cake we reach for when a birthday or a thank-you deserves something that looks made with love rather than glossy and stiff. We finish every one by hand in our Claremont studio, the way we have since 1999, and it is backed by a 5.0 Trustpilot rating and thousands of five-star Loox reviews.
