Chocolate Orange Cake (Gluten-Free)

From Me, With Butter: A Curated 5-Piece Dessert Tasting Box Delivered Same-Day in Cape Town

Five hand-made desserts in one box: a mini carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, a Blueberry Cheesecake, a Classic Cheesecake, a gluten-free Chocolate Orange Cake and a Chocolate Brownie. The From Me, With Butter box is our bakery's full tasting flight in a single send. It is the answer for the recipient who would order one of everything if she could, the family who is grieving and needs five different desserts on the kitchen counter so everyone finds the one they want, the office team where one person is gluten-free and the rest are not, the birthday where one slice will not do. Hand-made by our home bakers in our Claremont studio the morning of dispatch. Available for same-day Cape Town delivery on orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday.

What Is In the From Me, With Butter Dessert Box

• Mini Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting warmly spiced, soft-crumbed, topped with a smooth cream cheese icing. The classic that everyone reaches for first.
• Blueberry Cheesecake single-portion baked cheesecake on a buttery biscuit base with a blueberry compote crown. The cosy comfort flavour in the box. Also sold on its own (see our Blueberry Cheesecake).
• Classic Cheesecake silky baked cream cheese filling on a golden digestive biscuit base with subtle sweetness. The bright, lighter sister to the blueberry. Also sold on its own (see our Cheesecake).
• Chocolate Orange Cake (gluten-free) dark chocolate cake base with fresh orange zest and juice running through the crumb, finished with a smooth dark chocolate glaze. The grown-up dessert in the box, and the only gluten-free option. Also sold on its own (see our Chocolate Orange Cake).
• Chocolate Brownie dense, fudgy, with a dark chocolate glaze and roasted pecans pressed into the top. The texture moment in the box. Contains gluten and wheat.

Allergen notice: the box contains dairy, gluten, wheat, eggs and tree nuts (pecans). One item is gluten-free (the Chocolate Orange Cake). The other four items contain wheat and gluten. All items are made in a kitchen where wheat and nuts are handled, so the box is not suitable for severe coeliac who require a fully wheat-free kitchen, or for severe nut allergies. For dietary alternatives, email hello@fabulousflowers.co.za.

When To Send the From Me, With Butter Box

This box is the answer to "one slice is not enough." For a milestone birthday where the recipient deserves more than a single cake, our birthday gift boxes range pairs the dessert box with a card or bouquet. For sympathy sends where the family will be sharing meals together for a week, our sympathy gift boxes range works alongside. Five different desserts means every family member finds the one they want, which matters more than people realise when grief makes ordinary decisions hard. For office team gifts where the team has at least one gluten-free member who can have the chocolate orange cake, our team gifts range builds out the corporate send. For a mental health check-in for the friend who has been through it, our mental health gift boxes range pairs alongside. For the corporate client who deserves more than a standard gift basket, our corporate gifting range works.

The Dessert Box For People Who Cannot Choose Just One

There is a kind of gifting where one perfect thing is the right answer. There is another kind where five small perfect things is the right answer. The From Me, With Butter box is firmly in the second category. It is for the recipient who would walk past a bakery window and want everything in it, the friend whose taste runs broad rather than narrow, the family where each person has a different favourite. The cross-section matters: the carrot cake covers the comfort eater, the two cheesecakes cover both blue (cosy) and bright (clean) moods, the chocolate orange cake covers the grown-up palate and the gluten-free recipient, the brownie covers the texture lover. Five small wins instead of one big one.

The dessert send for the recipient who would order one of everything if she could.

Pair It With a Bouquet For the Full Send

The From Me, With Butter box stands on its own but lands at its best paired with a Cape Town bouquet in the same delivery slot. The full FF bakery range is in our bakery collection, with our cakes, cupcakes and biscuits ranges sitting alongside. For a luxury box at the next tier up, see our luxury gift boxes range. For other options in the same R500-R999 price band, see our gift boxes R500 to R999 range. For other chocolate-forward boxes, see our chocolate and sweet gift boxes range. For a bigger-tier alternative when the recipient warrants a full celebration cake rather than a tasting box, see our Sweet Celebration milestone trio.

Delivery: Cape Town Same-Day Only

The From Me, With Butter box is freshly made with dairy, eggs and bakery items that do not travel by courier, so it delivers in Cape Town only, same-day on orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday. We deliver across Claremont, Sea Point, Camps Bay, Constantia, Newlands, Rondebosch, Green Point, Bishopscourt, Kenilworth, Wynberg, the City Bowl, the Southern Suburbs, the Atlantic Seaboard and the wider Cape Town network. As a fresh bakery box, From Me, With Butter does NOT ship by nationwide courier and is NOT available for Johannesburg same-day delivery. For Johannesburg or nationwide gifting, browse our wider gift box and flower bouquet ranges, many of which travel.

How To Serve and Store the Dessert Box

The box arrives ready to open at the kitchen table. Best enjoyed within 24 hours of delivery, with the cheesecakes taken out of the fridge twenty minutes before serving so the fillings soften. Refrigerate any leftovers and consume within 48 hours. The brownie and the chocolate orange cake hold up the longest. The cheesecakes are at their best on day one. Pairs naturally with a pot of rooibos, English Breakfast tea, Earl Grey, or a small glass of dessert wine for the chocolate items. For a serving suggestion: lay all five out on one platter so each person can pick rather than receive, which is half the joy of a tasting box.
