Chiffon cakes baked by hand in small batches, light enough to eat two slices of — made to order for birthdays, gifts, and everyday celebrations.
From £45 · collection or local delivery
A short menu on purpose. Pick the shape, then the flavour — everything is baked to order for your date.
A tall, airy chiffon finished with cream and fresh fruit. Choose one flavour, or have ube and pandan layered together in the same cake.
Lower price single flavour, higher price ube & pandan layered.
The same chiffon in a box, piped and finished by hand. The easiest thing to bring to someone else's table.
That purple is ube — purple yam, cooked down and folded into the batter. The green is pandan, steeped from the leaf. Neither is food colouring.
Nothing is baked in advance and nothing is frozen. Your cake is mixed, baked, cooled and finished for your date — which is why there are only so many each week.
Haraya · baybayin
Haraya Cakes began with a love for one thing: Filipino chiffon cakes. As a half-Filipina growing up in the UK, it was often difficult to find the cakes and flavours I remembered from childhood. What began as recreating those familiar flavours for family and friends has now grown into something I can share with everyone.
Haraya (ᜑᜇᜌ) is an old Tagalog word meaning vision or imagination, which reflects my hope of bringing your ideas to life through every cake.
Each order is made by hand, in small batches, using real ingredients and plenty of care. I keep the menu small and the focus on quality, so every cake feels personal, fresh and a little bit special.
Flavour, size, the date, and anything you'd like written on it. A rough idea is plenty.
You'll get a reply with the price and the date held. A 50% deposit secures it; the rest is due on collection.
Baked fresh for your date and finished the same day, ready to collect or delivered locally.
Everything is baked fresh for your date, so the earlier the better — and popular weekends go first. If your date is close, ask anyway; I'll tell you honestly whether I can do it well.
Either. Collection is free, and I deliver locally for a small charge. Tell me which you'd prefer when you enquire and I'll confirm the details.
Once your order is confirmed I take a 50% deposit to hold the date, with the balance due on collection. The deposit is non-refundable, because holding your date means turning other orders away — and I ask for at least three days' notice for changes or cancellations, since everything is made to order.
Tell me what you need in your enquiry and I'll be straight with you about what I can do safely. My kitchen handles eggs, dairy, gluten and nuts, so I can't promise a cake is free from traces of any of them.
Chiffon is at its best the day it's made and good for two to three days in an airtight container in the fridge. Take it out an hour before serving — cold flattens the texture, and the whole point of chiffon is the texture.
Tell me the date and the flavour and I'll do the rest. I'll reply with availability and a price.
