Many of us have bought flowers for a loved one as a gift on their birthday and anniversary. Now, Zammit Gardens, the leading Maltese florist and provider of flowers to Gozo have a new twist on the traditional gift of flowers by offering a range of gift ideas which incorporate both a beautiful flower bouquet and a luscious cake.

The cakes offered in the range include coffee crunch, caramel mousse, Black Forest and tiramisu. Tiramisu is a recent culinary addition dating back only to the 1970s. One of Italy’s most popular desserts it is made of savoiardi (lady finger biscuits) dipped in espresso or strong coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks, mascarpone and sugar. It is then topped with cocoa. Zammit Garden’s unique cake and flowers ‘tiramisu meltdown’ package includes both a sumptuous Italian dessert and a stunning bouquet of flowers. Customers can also choose a tiramisu with a dozen red roses.

Adrian Zammit, from the firm who specialise in same day flowers in Malta, said, “We decided to combine cakes and flowers in this range as we wanted to offer our customers an additional gift option. Whilst flowers by themselves are a beautiful gift for a wedding or anniversary, adding one of our choices of delicious desserts to the delivery literally adds the icing to the cake! All our cakes can also be personalised with a birthday or anniversary message.”

Another popular choice in the flowers and cakes range is the Black Forest gateau. Black Forest cake originates from southern Germany and consists of several layers of chocolate cake with cherries and whipped cream between each layer. The cake is then decorated with additional whipped cream, maraschino cherries and chocolate shavings.

In addition to these popular European cakes Zammit Gardens, the Malta florist, also offer a choice of delicious sweet cakes including their caramel mousse, coffee crunch and ‘crama de frutta’. These superb cakes also come with a choice of bouquet.

Mr Zammit from the firm that specialise in Malta flower bouquets, added, “Another popular gift choice with our customers is our beautiful ‘fruit delight’. This consists of a large basket packed full of a selection of the finest, ripest fruit including bananas, grapes and pears. For those people who perhaps don’t have a sweet tooth our ‘fruit delight’ is a lovely, stylish gift that comes with a bouquet of twelve stunning red roses.”
