Dot cake cups are inspired by the popular dot cake trend that went viral recently, with a delicious twist of fresh seasonal strawberries. These gorgeous individual dessert cups are made with a light and fluffy Gem vanilla sponge, layered with sweet strawberry jam and juicy fresh strawberries, then finished with a swirl of creamy vanilla buttercream.

To create the famous dot cake effect, we dip the buttercream into colourful rainbow sprinkles, giving each cup a fun and vibrant finish. Perfect for little bakers, these colourful treats are easy to assemble, bursting with strawberry flavour, and look fantastic lined up on the table with their sprinkle-covered tops!
