Choosing between buttercream cakes delivered in Birmingham and fondant is one of the biggest decisions when planning a celebration. It is a choice that impacts taste, design, budget, and the overall experience of your event. At The Cravery, we have earned the trust of thousands of Birmingham and Solihull customers not through marketing claims, but through the quality of every cake we bake and the feedback of every customer we serve.
Too often, customers are forced to choose between a cake that tastes incredible and one that looks stunning, without truly understanding the trade offs. You might see a beautiful fondant design online, only to be disappointed by the flavour, or you might love the taste of buttercream but worry it cannot achieve the design you envision. You deserve clarity and a cake that delivers on all fronts.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know about buttercream vs fondant from taste and texture to design possibilities, cost, and suitability for different occasions. We will also cover our three handcrafted signature flavours (Vanilla, Chocolate, and Red Velvet), our dual delivery service (Predict van delivery and same day via Uber Eats, Just Eat, and Deliveroo), our commitment to ingredients free from animal products and alcohol, and the customer reviews that shape every decision we make. Operating Monday to Sunday, 08:00 to 20:00, across all B postcodes this is the guide Birmingham has been waiting for.

Understanding the Difference: Buttercream vs Fondant
Before you can choose the perfect icing for your cake, it is essential to understand what buttercream and fondant actually are. While both are used to decorate cakes, they are fundamentally different in their ingredients, texture, taste, and application. This understanding is the first step in deciding which option best suits your celebration and why The Cravery has made a deliberate choice to champion one over the other.
The Pillars of Comparison
At The Cravery, we believe an informed customer is a happy customer. The buttercream vs fondant debate is not about one being universally “better” than the other it is about understanding the strengths and limitations of each so you can make the right choice for your specific occasion. That is why we have structured this guide around six key pillars of comparison.

Any cake shop can offer both buttercream and fondant. But the best cake shop in Birmingham helps you understand the trade offs so you can make a confident decision. The Cravery’s six pillars ensure that you are not just choosing an icing you are choosing the right experience for your celebration. This is not a claim we make lightly; it is a standard we hold ourselves to with every single order.

The Art of Buttercream Cakes Delivered Birmingham
At The Cravery, buttercream is more than just an icing it is our art form. We have dedicated ourselves to mastering this medium because we believe the taste of the cake is paramount. Our commitment to delivering the best buttercream cakes in Birmingham is rooted in our passion for flavour, texture, and elegant design.
The Superior Taste and Mouthfeel
The number one reason customers choose our buttercream cakes is the taste. The rich, creamy flavour and light, fluffy texture of real buttercream are simply unmatched. It complements the cake rather than just sitting on top of it. Whether it is the classic sweetness paired with our Vanilla sponge, the rich depth alongside our Chocolate cake, or the perfect partner to our Red Velvet, the buttercream is an integral part of the flavour experience. It is a sensory delight that fondant, with its sugary, chewy nature, cannot replicate.
Versatility in Design
While fondant is known for sculptural work, the design possibilities with buttercream are vast and beautiful. Our skilled bakers use a variety of techniques to create stunning finishes. We can achieve rustic, textured looks, elegant swirls and rosettes, delicate piped patterns, and even smooth sided cakes that offer a clean, modern aesthetic. For many celebrations from birthdays to baby showers the charming and delicious nature of buttercream designs is a perfect fit. It allows for artistry without sacrificing the joy of eating a truly delicious cake.
Why We Specialise in Buttercream
Our decision to specialise in buttercream cakes delivered in Birmingham was a conscious one, driven by customer feedback. Time and again, our customers told us that while they admired the look of fondant cakes, they ultimately preferred to eat buttercream. By focusing our craft on what tastes best, we ensure that every cake from The Cravery is a crowd pleaser. We believe you should not have to peel off the icing to enjoy the cake underneath. The icing should be as much of a treat as the cake itself, and with our buttercream, it always is.
The Craft of Fondant Cakes
While The Cravery champions buttercream for its superior flavour, we fully appreciate the unique artistic capabilities of fondant. Understanding what fondant offers is key to recognising why it is chosen for specific types of designs and why we use it strategically for decorative elements on our buttercream cakes.
The Appeal of a Flawless Finish
Fondant’s main appeal is its ability to create a perfectly smooth, flawless, and almost ceramic like surface. It provides a pristine canvas that is impossible to achieve with buttercream alone. This makes it the ideal choice for cakes that require a sleek, modern, and highly polished look. It is particularly popular for high end wedding cakes, corporate logo cakes, and designs that need to look absolutely perfect from every angle.
Unmatched Design and Structural Possibilities
Fondant is essentially edible modelling clay. It can be rolled, cut, shaped, and sculpted into almost any form imaginable. This allows for the creation of sharp geometric patterns, intricate lace work, realistic 3D figures, and gravity defying structures. If you have ever seen a cake shaped like a designer handbag, a favourite cartoon character, or a stack of books, it was almost certainly made with fondant. Its structural integrity also makes it ideal for large, tiered cakes, as it provides a stable and secure outer layer.
Our Approach to Fondant
At The Cravery, we recognise the artistic merit of fondant. However, because we prioritise taste, we do not offer cakes fully covered in it. Instead, we use fondant as a tool for embellishment. We might add a fondant logo to a corporate cupcake, create small decorative figures for a birthday cake, or use it for lettering and small, intricate details on our buttercream cakes. This approach offers the best of both worlds: the superior flavour of a buttercream cake, enhanced with the sharp, detailed artistry that only fondant can provide. It is a balanced approach that ensures our cakes are as delicious to eat as they are beautiful to behold.

Our Three Signature Flavours
At the heart of the best cake shop in Birmingham are three signature flavours that our customers return to time and again. Rather than offering an overwhelming menu of dozens of options with inconsistent quality, The Cravery has chosen to master three flavours ensuring that every cake we deliver is exceptional, regardless of which flavour you choose or whether you prefer buttercream or fondant accents.
Vanilla
Our Vanilla cake is a timeless classic crafted with the finest vanilla extract. The sponge is light, moist, and aromatic a perfect balance of sweetness and elegance that appeals to every age group and palate. Vanilla is the most versatile of our three flavours, serving as a beautiful canvas for custom decorations, personalised messages, and themed designs. It is the flavour our customers choose most often for children’s birthday parties, wedding celebrations, and elegant events where the cake needs to complement rather than compete with the occasion. Paired with our signature buttercream, it is a combination that never disappoints.
Chocolate
For those who crave depth and indulgence, our Chocolate cake is a revelation. Made with premium cocoa, the sponge achieves a rich, velvety texture that satisfies from the very first bite. The flavour is deep, intense, and lingering the kind of chocolate experience that reminds you why chocolate is the world’s most beloved flavour. Our Chocolate cake is a favourite for milestone celebrations, corporate events, and anyone who believes that the best cake shop in Birmingham must offer a chocolate cake that sets the standard.
Red Velvet
Our Red Velvet cake is the showstopper of our collection. With its signature deep crimson hue and subtle cocoa undertones, Red Velvet offers a flavour profile that is sophisticated, memorable, and visually stunning. The sponge is exceptionally smooth, with a delicate tanginess that sets it apart from any other cake. Red Velvet is the perfect choice for milestone birthdays, romantic occasions, and anyone who wants their cake to make a bold visual and flavour statement.

Customise with Jams and Spreads
What sets the best cake shop in Birmingham apart is the ability to make every order uniquely yours. At The Cravery, every cake and cupcake can be enhanced with our selection of jams and spreads, adding an extra layer of flavour and personalisation to your chosen buttercream cake.
How Customisation Works
When placing your order whether through our website for Predict van delivery or through Uber Eats, Just Eat, or Deliveroo for same day delivery you can select from our range of jams and spreads to be layered within your cake or applied as a topping. A fruity jam adds brightness to our Vanilla cake, a rich spread deepens the indulgence of our Chocolate cake, and a tangy accompaniment complements the unique profile of our Red Velvet.
Why Customisation Matters
The ability to customise means that no two orders need be the same. Even if you order the same flavour for multiple events, the addition of different jams and spreads creates a unique taste experience every time. Combined with the choice between a classic buttercream finish and one enhanced with fondant accents, the possibilities are vast. It is one of the many reasons our customers tell us The Cravery is the best cake shop in Birmingham because we give them the freedom to create something truly personal for every celebration.
[H2 Section 6. Dietary commitment. ~300 words.]
Free from Animal Products and Alcohol
Every cake and cupcake produced by The Cravery whether finished in buttercream or featuring fondant decorative elements is entirely free from animal products and alcohol. This is not a limited menu option or a special request it is the foundation of everything we bake. Every ingredient, every recipe, and every process in our bakery adheres to this commitment.
Inclusive by Design
For customers who follow a plant based lifestyle, observe religious dietary requirements, or simply prefer to avoid animal products and alcohol, finding the best cake shop in Birmingham that meets these needs without compromising on taste or design can be challenging. The Cravery eliminates that challenge entirely. When you order from us, you can be confident that your cake aligns with your values and dietary preferences regardless of which delivery option you choose.
No Compromise on Taste
Being free from animal products does not mean being free from flavour. Our bakers have spent years perfecting recipes that deliver the same richness, moisture, and indulgence that you would expect from any premium bakery. Our buttercream is just as creamy, our sponge is just as moist, and our flavours are just as bold. This commitment to both dietary integrity and exceptional taste is a key reason customers consistently recognise The Cravery as the best cake shop in Birmingham.
Allergen Information
Please note that while all our cakes are free from animal products and alcohol, The Cravery does not cater for specific allergens. If you have specific allergen concerns, we recommend contacting us directly before placing your order to discuss your requirements.

Taste and Texture: A Direct Comparison
When choosing between buttercream and fondant, the most significant deciding factor for many is the eating experience. The taste and texture of these two icings are worlds apart, and your personal preference will play a huge role in your satisfaction with the final cake.
Buttercream: Rich, Creamy, and Flavourful
Buttercream tastes rich and, as the name suggests, buttery. It is sweet but balanced, and it readily takes on the flavour of additions like vanilla, cocoa, or fruit purées. It complements the flavour of the cake sponge itself, adding to the overall deliciousness. The texture is light, fluffy, and smooth. It melts in your mouth, leaving a pleasant, creamy sensation. It is soft and easy to cut through, making for a seamless bite of cake and icing together.
Fondant: Sweet, Chewy, and Dense
Fondant is intensely sweet. Its flavour is primarily that of sugar, with a slight marshmallow like note. It does not offer the complexity or richness of buttercream and can sometimes be overpowering. The texture of fondant is firm, dense, and chewy. It has a dough like consistency that requires some effort to bite through. Many people find the texture unusual on a cake and often peel the fondant layer off before eating the sponge underneath.

The Verdict on Flavour
For the vast majority of cake lovers, buttercream is the undisputed winner in the taste and texture department. It is what most people think of when they imagine a delicious slice of cake. While some enjoy the candy like quality of fondant, it is rarely chosen for its flavour. This is the primary reason The Cravery has chosen to specialise in buttercream cakes delivered in Birmingham. We believe the icing should be an integral and delicious part of the cake, not an afterthought that gets left on the plate.
[H2 Section 8. Design Comparison. ~450 words.]
Design and Decoration: What Each Icing Offers
While buttercream wins on taste, fondant has a clear advantage in certain areas of design. The choice here depends entirely on the aesthetic you want to achieve for your celebration. A rustic, charming look is perfect for some events, while a sharp, sculptural design is essential for others.
Buttercream Design Capabilities
Buttercream is perfect for creating beautiful, tactile textures, including rustic spatula marks, elegant horizontal lines, and soft, pillowy swirls. It is the ideal medium for all forms of piping, from classic shell borders to intricate lacework and delicate flowers like roses and hydrangeas. Buttercream takes colour beautifully, allowing for vibrant hues, soft pastels, and trendy watercolour or ombré effects. However, achieving perfectly sharp edges and geometric shapes is challenging with buttercream. It is also not suitable for creating freestanding 3D models or supporting heavy decorative elements. It is more sensitive to heat and can soften or melt in warm conditions.
Fondant Design Capabilities
Fondant’s greatest strength is its ability to create a perfectly smooth, flawless surface the key to a clean, modern, and highly polished look. As an edible clay, fondant can be moulded into almost anything characters, logos, ribbons, bows, and intricate 3D shapes. This is where it truly outshines buttercream. It allows for razor sharp edges on square cakes and provides structural support for very large or unusually shaped cakes. However, fondant does not lend itself well to soft, rustic textures or delicate piping. Its appearance is often more artificial and less “cake like” than buttercream, which can be a drawback for some.

The Cravery’s Artistic Compromise
Understanding these differences allows us to make the best recommendation for your needs. For 95% of the celebrations our customers are planning, the beautiful and delicious designs achievable with buttercream are the perfect fit. For that extra 5% where a specific logo, character, or sharp element is required, we use our skill with fondant as a decorative accent. This ensures you get the “wow” factor of a specific design element without sacrificing the superior taste of our signature buttercream cakes delivered in Birmingham.

How Customer Reviews Guide Our Craft
The best cake shop in Birmingham is not built in a kitchen alone it is built through an ongoing conversation with the community it serves. At The Cravery, customer reviews are not just feedback; they are the compass that guides every decision we make, from refining our buttercream recipes to improving our delivery service.
A Palette of Truth
Every review, whether glowing praise or constructive criticism, serves as a genuine reflection of our customers’ experiences. Positive feedback reaffirms our strengths and inspires us to maintain the exceptional standards that earned that praise. Constructive criticism, meanwhile, provides invaluable insights into areas that demand refinement insights we would never gain without the honesty and trust of our customers.
Perfecting Our Art Through Feedback
Customer reviews are a treasure trove of suggestions and commendations that directly influence our cake designs and flavour development. From the intricacies of our buttercream piping to the texture and moisture of our sponge, every detail highlighted in reviews becomes a focal point for refinement. When customers unanimously praise a specific flavour pairing or design element, we take note and explore ways to expand in that direction. When feedback suggests an area for improvement, we act on it immediately. It was customer feedback, for example, that confirmed our decision to specialise in buttercream over fondant our customers overwhelmingly told us they preferred the taste.
The Service Journey
Reviews do not only reflect the quality of our cakes they spotlight the entire service experience. Comments about delivery timeliness, responsiveness to inquiries, packaging quality, and the overall customer journey guide our team in refining every touchpoint. It was customer feedback that helped us recognise the need for same day delivery options leading to our partnerships with Uber Eats, Just Eat, and Deliveroo. It is this willingness to listen and evolve that makes The Cravery the best cake shop in Birmingham.
Building Community Trust
Customer reviews are the cornerstone of our relationship with the Birmingham community. By acknowledging and acting upon feedback, we do not just enhance our services we build trust and loyalty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between buttercream and fondant?
The main difference lies in taste, texture, and appearance. Buttercream is a soft, creamy icing made from butter and sugar, known for its rich flavour. Fondant is a pliable, dough like icing made from sugar, water, and glycerin, known for its smooth, polished finish ideal for intricate designs. The Cravery specialises in buttercream cakes delivered in Birmingham, prioritising flavour and quality.
Which is better for taste, buttercream or fondant?
For pure taste and a rich, creamy texture, buttercream is generally preferred by most customers. Fondant has a sweeter, chewier texture that is less about flavour and more about providing a smooth canvas for design. At The Cravery, we specialise in buttercream because we believe the icing should be as delicious as the cake itself.
Can I get complex designs on buttercream cakes delivered in Birmingham?
While fondant is superior for sharp edges and complex 3D sculptures, our skilled bakers can achieve a wide range of beautiful designs with buttercream, including rustic textures, elegant piping, and floral work. We also incorporate fondant accents for specific design elements where needed.
Are fondant cakes more expensive?
Generally, yes. Fondant work is more labour intensive and requires a higher level of skill to apply correctly, which often makes fondant cakes more expensive than buttercream cakes of a similar size.
Does The Cravery offer both buttercream and fondant cakes?
The Cravery specialises in round buttercream cakes, as we prioritise exceptional taste and texture. While we do not offer fully fondant covered cakes, we do incorporate fondant accents and decorations into our buttercream designs, offering a balance of flavour and artistry.
What flavours does The Cravery offer?
The Cravery offers three signature flavours: Vanilla, Chocolate, and Red Velvet. Each flavour is handcrafted with premium ingredients and is free from animal products and alcohol. You can also customise your cake with a selection of jams and spreads.
Are The Cravery cakes suitable for vegans?
