Our Bakery

Our new bakery, like the old one, is in Maidenhead, Berkshire. We've been here for the last 20 years of our life and everything we bake comes from here.

If you were to wander round the bakery, lots of things would be familiar, just bigger: scales, mixers, cake tins, ovens, bowls of icing.

In our store, you would come across ingredients that you would be very happy to find in your fridge or larder at home. Our cakes come from trusted household recipes and the ingredients combine naturally to make delicious cakes. So we don't add artificial preservatives, flavourings or colours and we don't use fats that have been hydrogenated or things that have had their genes tampered with.

The ingredients are mixed together, weighed into individual cake tins and baked in small batches under the watchful eye of Steve, our head baker.

The cakes are then passed on to a team of skilled finishers who turn the cakes out and ice and decorate each one by hand.

Finally each cake is frozen to preserve its quality.

Every cake we make is crafted by experienced, skilled people - not machines. We have learnt that this is the only way that our cakes will look and taste homemade. That's why we are called The Handmade Cake Company.
