About this collection
We pipe a thick buttercream border around your image to create a safety air gap that protects the hidden layer from the heat. This ensures your reveal works perfectly every time, whether you are hiding a funny meme or a sentimental proposal message. We take care of the engineering so you can just focus on the surprise.
At Vanilla Beans, we took the viral burnaway trend and matched it with the quality of our fresh, Bandra-made cakes. Every reveal starts with a dual-layer system: a combustible wafer paper top that burns away smoothly to uncover a high-resolution edible icing sheet.
Since we bake everything eggless and fresh, the base is sturdy enough to hold the piping without compromising on taste. Our classic Dutch Truffle sponge is a popular choice for these, as it provides the stability needed for the structure while keeping the texture moist and rich.
We love seeing the ideas you bring to us. From hilarious 25th birthday memes to romantic 'Will you be my Valentine' questions, we can customize the hidden layer with any photo or text you like. We finish the cake with retro-style piping to match the vintage aesthetic that makes these reveal moments look so good on camera. If you have a specific event coming up, drop us a message, and we can discuss how to design the perfect reveal for your occasion.
