Less Sugar, More Flavour: The New Heriots Signature Recipe

At Heriots Patisserie, we've always believed that exceptional cakes begin with exceptional craftsmanship. Every sponge is baked from scratch, every cream is made in-house, and every syrup is carefully prepared using our signature recipe.

We're pleased to announce that we've reduced the sugar across our signature sponge, cream and syrup, allowing the natural flavours of our finest ingredients to shine through.

Why we've reduced the sugar

Rather than relying on sweetness, our cakes now celebrate balance. The lighter recipe enhances the richness of Madagascan vanilla, the brightness of fresh fruit, the depth of Belgian chocolate, and the delicate notes of our handcrafted fillings.

The result is a cake that's:

  • Less sweet without compromising indulgence

  • Lighter and more refined on the palate

  • Perfect for birthdays, weddings and everyday celebrations

It's the same unmistakable Heriots quality, with an even better flavour profile.

Handcrafted from scratch, every day

Our cakes are never mass produced. Each one is made fresh by our pastry team using our signature recipes, ensuring consistency, quality and the authentic taste that Heriots has become known for across London.

Whether you're ordering a celebration gateau, milk cake, cheesecake or one of our seasonal creations, you'll enjoy the new reduced sugar recipe as standard.
