I BACK FOREST BIRTHDAY CAKE

Black Forest Cake
Pierre & Michel’s Black Forest Cake is a timeless French classic, handcrafted in-house with the finest ingredients. This elegant cake is built with layers of soft chocolate sponge, silky dark chocolate mousse, and sweet cherry filling, then finished with fresh cherries and a light Chantilly cream topping.
Every element is carefully balanced — the richness of dark chocolate, the freshness of cherries, and the smoothness of cream — to create a dessert that is both indulgent and refreshing. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, or simply as a special treat, the Black Forest Cake brings a touch of authentic French tradition to any occasion.
The Black Forest Cake begins with a foundation of delicate chocolate sponge cake. Its light yet rich texture provides the perfect base for layers of indulgence that follow. The journey continues with smooth dark chocolate mousse, balanced by sweet cherry filling and fresh cherries, and finished with a touch of Chantilly cream on top.
Composition: Dark chocolate mousse, cherry filling, cherries, chocolate sponge cake, Chantilly cream on top, plus decorative assortments of chocolate, macarons, and fruits.
