Press Coverage

Frosting: Silky smooth vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream.

Decor: Buttercream swirls with a mix of roasted edible insects including crickets, mealworms and locusts.

From the Chef

Inspired by the adventurous spirit of bushtucker trials and survival experts like Bear Grylls, this cake is not for the faint-hearted but promises a unique and high-protein indulgence. My husband challenged me to make it without grimacing and the challenge was not only accepted, but also triumphed.

The Insect Cake is perfect for those who love to try new things and aren’t afraid to push culinary boundaries. It's for the daredevils. It’s a cake that challenges twee cakey conventions while delivering a delicious, protein-packed experience.

What makes this cake truly special is its blend of high-protein cricket flour, combined with decadent chocolate sponge and smooth vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream. Topped with roasted edible insects like crickets, mealworms, and locusts, this cake offers a daring treat like no other. It's sweet with a touch of savoury crunch and is unexpectedly very well balanced.

Ideal for adventurous eaters, foodies with a taste for the unconventional, or as a daring conversation starter at parties. It’s also perfect for eco-conscious individuals looking to explore sustainable protein sources.

If you're ready to step out of your comfort zone and try something truly wild, the Insect Cake is your chance. Savour the unexpected, and let this daring creation surprise you with its delicious flavours and eco-friendly twist.
