ALL of our cakes, from wedding cakes to children’s birthday cakes, fruit cakes to sponge cakes are made entirely from scratch by us, using real ingredients. Unlike many cake makers we refuse to use readymade sponge cake mixes, preferring to use our own family cake recipes, so that our cakes taste just as good as they look.

We are proud to use healthy free range eggs sourced within a few miles of our shop, and we don’t skimp on our other cake ingredients. Each of our standard cakes is typically at least 2½” high before icing, so you don’t pay for a cake and find when you cut it that half of its height is made up of icing!

Fruit cakes
The fruit we use in our fruit cake recipe is first soaked in brandy to ensure that it is plump and soft, and after baking, each cake is slowly infused with a little more brandy before it leaves us keeping the cake moist and rich and helping to preserve the full flavour.

Sponge cakes
Our sponge cakes can be created in a range of tempting flavours including chocolate, lemon and orange. If you have a particular favourite type of cake we are open to suggestions!

The icing
Each of our cakes is brushed with a thin layer of jam before being covered with almond marzipan, and then finished with a layer of sweet fondant icing. However, if you dislike marzipan we can replace this layer with a second thin layer of fondant icing to ensure a smooth surface to the finished cake.

Sugarpaste flowers
All of the sugarpaste flowers and foliage that adorn our cakes are handmade and coloured entirely by us to ensure their quality. If you choose to preserve the flowers from a special cake we suggest that you keep them at room temperature in a dry environment. Sugarpaste flowers and damp don’t mix!

Finishing touches
Finishing touches are extremely important to us, and so we ensure that each cake is presented on a solid drum cake board, (not just a thin board), trimmed with a co-ordinating ribbon. Cakes are then packaged in cardboard cake boxes to protect them during transit.

Cake Display
Special occasion cakes for events such as weddings and anniversaries benefit greatly from being presented on suitable cake stands, a range of which we can hire to you for a small charge.

|
|
At Cakes Galore we are proud of our cakes, and want to make sure that you enjoy not only looking at your cake, but tasting it too. We love seeing families return to us time and again to help them mark the special events in their lives.
