Raspberry Milkshake Mudcake with Belgian Chocolate Decorations — Handmade Luxury in Brisbane

Some cakes are simply joyful, this one beams. Our Raspberry Milkshake Mudcake with Belgian Chocolate Decorations captures the whimsy of a classic raspberry milkshake, transformed through Dello Mano’s calm-luxury lens. A soft vanilla mudcake made with real butter, creamy milk, fresh eggs cracked in our kitchen, and real vanilla bean delivers a naturally rich, velvety crumb. It’s layered with smooth raspberry Italian buttercream, tinted softly pink with real fruit, and finished with delicate handmade meringues and Belgian chocolate decorations crafted in our Brisbane kitchen.

It’s playful yet poised, nostalgic flavour made elegant for birthdays, morning teas, and celebrations that call for beauty served simply, all part of our Handmade Cakes Brisbane – A Celebration of Craft, Flavour and Local Indulgence collection.

Real vanilla bean and creamy milk.

The base of this cake is our classic vanilla mudcake, slow-baked for a dense yet tender crumb. Made with real butter, creamy milk, fresh eggs cracked in our kitchen, and real vanilla bean, it delivers a naturally rich texture and that unmistakable handmade aroma that fills the bakery at dawn.

Raspberry Italian buttercream.

Cooked sugar syrup is folded into whipped egg whites, then blended with real raspberries. The result is a silky, fruit-forward buttercream that’s light, tangy, and beautifully balanced against the cake’s gentle sweetness.

Handmade meringues and Belgian chocolate pieces.

Each meringue is handmade in our kitchen, crisp on the outside, soft within, baked to blush and white pastel hues. The Belgian chocolate decorations add sculptural height and subtle sweetness, completing the calm-luxury aesthetic Dello Mano is known for.

For a more indulgent take on those same flavours, our White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake – A Celebration of Creamy, Fruity Luxury brings together Belgian white chocolate and raspberries in a baked cheesecake that’s smooth, elegant, and handmade with care.

Our approach is always slow, always thoughtful. Each component is made by hand: butter creamed until glossy, eggs cracked fresh for every batch, and milk folded gently to preserve the mudcake’s creamy body. Meringues are piped individually before being baked to their delicate crackle.

When assembled, every line of buttercream is smoothed with care, no excessive swirls or ornamentation, just the quiet confidence of handmade beauty. This is the craft that defines Dello Mano handmade cakes, where technique meets tenderness.

Mudcake = moisture mastery.

Mudcake differs from sponge because of its high butter and milk content. This slows gluten development, creating a close-textured crumb that retains moisture for several days when sealed and refrigerated.

Temperature = taste.

All mudcakes should be served slightly cool but not cold. If eaten straight from the fridge, the butter within the crumb remains firm, muting flavour and giving a false impression of dryness.

For best texture and taste, remove your Raspberry Milkshake Mudcake 30–40 minutes before serving so the butter releases and the crumb softens.

Italian buttercream = structure with elegance.

Because the sugar is cooked before it meets the egg whites, Italian buttercream is smoother and more temperature-stable than other styles. It holds clean lines, melts cleanly, and carries raspberry’s tang without splitting, essential for refined presentation and confident transport.

No piped rosettes. No excessive frosting. Just balance.

The cake’s semi-naked finish lets you glimpse vanilla layers through blush buttercream, an honest showcase of craft. The top is adorned with handmade meringues and Belgian chocolate decorations, lightly dusted with crushed pistachios and raspberry crumb for colour.

This restraint is deliberate. It reflects Dello Mano’s design philosophy: luxury lies in attention, not excess.

Whether it’s a joyful gathering or a thoughtful gift, this cake brings calm luxury to every occasion.

When the box opens, colour meets calm. Soft pink buttercream catches the light, Belgian chocolate petals curl gently at the edge, and the meringues look as if they’ve drifted into place. Then comes the first slice, a clean cut through dense vanilla layers and pale pink cream.

The taste unfolds in three movements: buttery vanilla, bright raspberry, and a smooth creamy backnote. It’s a cake that feels both nostalgic and modern, a reminder that handmade can be elegant, and simple can still be luxurious.

Since 2006, Dello Mano has celebrated the belief that luxury is handmade, a philosophy rooted in time, care, and connection. We bake in small batches, decorate by hand, and deliver with the same mindfulness that began our journey nearly two decades ago.
