Our Genoise sponge is at the heart of many of our cakes and desserts, and it is a vital element that makes them so special.

Made simply with eggs, sugar, flour and cream, our Genoise contains no raising agents at all. Its beautiful, delicate rise comes entirely from the eggs and the technique used to incorporate and retain the air. It may look simple, but if you have ever tried to make one, you would know that achieving this texture is surprisingly difficult.

Unlike a traditional vanilla sponge, Genoise is wonderfully light, soft and airy, with a delicate, almost cloud-like texture that melts beautifully in the mouth.

It pairs wonderfully with silky-smooth whipped cream. Unlike buttercream frosting, it is not overly sweet, making it a light, delicate and wonderfully refreshing dessert.

I only wish the softness could come through the screen… 🤍

We were delighted to receive this beautiful photo from our lovely couple.

"Angelica and the team were fantastic from start to finish. We ordered the biggest tiramisu ever seen for our wedding, which they hand delivered on the day. It looked and tasted PERFECT! They were so so wonderful and we would recommend them to anybody looking for very smooth service and delicious cakes. Thank you again for making our day so special! "

There’s something so special about cutting your wedding cake together and even better when it brings a big smile to your faces.

Our signature Grand Tiramisu Wedding Cake is made for moments just like this — bringing joy, laughter and a little extra sweetness to your special day.

Kind words from the couple:
"We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding cake! We chose a giant 60cm tiramisu, and it was one of the best decisions we made.

Not only did it look absolutely stunning in person, but it tasted incredible too. So many of our guests commented on how amazing it looked and how delicious it was. It was such a talking point throughout the evening, and people were even asking if they could take some home!

If you’re looking for something a little different for your wedding, we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They exceeded all of our expectations, and the tiramisu was unforgettable"

We were delighted to receive these beautiful cake-cutting photographs from this lovely couple who chose us to create their wedding cake at Prior Park College in Bath🤍

Set within beautiful historic grounds overlooking Bath, Prior Park College provided such a stunning setting for their special day. Our Grand Tiramisu Wedding Cake complemented the elegant surroundings beautifully — refined, romantic, and effortlessly striking.

Kind words from the couple:
"The giant tiramisu was a big hit at our wedding, the guests loved it. Extremely delicious and beautifully presented"

Our tiramisu, like all of our cakes at Faonette, is completely handmade in our kitchen.

We start with soft genoise sponge, gently soaked with fresh espresso and a generous splash of amaretto.

Then we layer a rich and silky mascarpone cream made with egg yolk and a little more amaretto.

While many recipes avoid eggs for safety reasons, we carefully heat the yolks over a bain-marie to pasteurise them, preserving their natural richness and depth of flavour.

The process is repeated in delicate layers of sponge and cream, building softness and structure in every spoonful.

Each individual cup is finished with a careful balance of bitterness, creamy softness, and gentle sweetness.

The result is an elegant, comforting Italian dessert with real depth and harmony.

Our beautiful bride who got married at Syrencot sent us this fun photo from her wedding day, and it definitely put a smile on our faces! 

It was such a beautiful sunny day, and both the bride and groom were absolutely lovely and so welcoming.

It was a real pleasure to be a small part of their special day🤍

Kind words from the couple:
"Angelica / Faonette (formerly Tearoom Bambi) made a giant tiramisu for our wedding day and it was absolutely brilliant! We felt very reassured on the lead up to the wedding that it would look and taste incredible, and it definitely was on the day! Angelica arrived at the venue to set up the tiramisu and to make sure we were happy with it - a great service and would highly recommend"

The same giant tiramisu cake, designed to shine in any setting.

At Easthampstead Park it was presented on a black round table with a gothic style iron base, giving it a modern yet elegant feel✨️

Kind words from the couple:
"Faonette (formerly Tearoom Bambi) made the most incredible tiramisu wedding cake for us - it was absolutely delicious, so unique and had lots of compliments from guests! Angelica was so friendly, brilliant with communication throughout, and it was lovely to meet her on the day. We would definitely recommend Faonette (Tearoom Bambi) to anyone looking for something special! Thank you so much! "

Kind words from the couple:
"We bought our large tiramisu Wedding cake from Faonette (formerly TearoomBambi) and what can we say - it was everything we wanted and more. Beautiful, delicious and our guests absolutely loved it! Angelica is wonderful - she was quick to respond to all correspondence and is clearly a very talented pâtissière! Thank you Angelica for creating the Wedding cake of our dreams!"

This was the very first of our Grand Tiramisu Wedding Cakes – a show-stopping 80cm in diameter, lovingly made for a very special day. 

The venue was absolutely breathtaking, and the bride was incredibly beautiful on the day (as you can see in the photo!) – even more so than we had imagined from our lovely email exchanges.

We feel so honoured that our creation could be part of such an elegant and beautiful celebration.

We’re thrilled to have been awarded a Great Taste ★ for our Strawberry Shortcake — and proud to be the only cake business in Oxfordshire & Berkshire to receive one this year.

We were hoping for a higher achievement but are still proud of this milestone and grateful to the judges for their thoughtful feedback which can be found below:

"This very attractive ivory coloured cream cake has beautiful swirls on top and stunning quality fresh strawberries. It is beautifully light to cut and holds its form very well. The genoise sponge is very light, but we couldn't discern any brandy syrup. The strawberries have held their own in the filling and give some appealing contrasting texture and flavour. The cake is well balanced, and despite all the cream, is not overly sweet. Very well executed"
"A beautiful looking cake, this is massively creamy with lush bright red strawberries adorning it. Moist crumb, light and with that definite brandy hit, and then the more tart fruit, freshly complementing all of it. The generosity comes across in the flavour, which is well judged in terms of sweetness, and has a good mouthfeel too. We appreciated the delicacy"

"A delicate looking sponge in several layers. The strawberries look fabulously fresh and have kept their vibrant red colour even when sliced and layered between the sponge. The layers are light and airy and have a great flavour from the brandy syrup. The delicious fresh strawberry flavour marries beautifully with the brandy and beautifully soft sponge. The cream is carefully whipped and has kept its shape well. Sugar levels are well balanced. This is a great cake that feels is light as air when you eat it"

"This is such a pretty looking cake with its ripples of fresh cream and strawberries on the top and layers of sponge, strawberries and cream throughout. On tasting, it melts in the mouth. The genoise is so light, the cream is fluffy and fresh and the strawberries are sweet. This is so delicate and very pretty"
