Special Occasion coming up?

We recently shared a guitar cake with you, which went down so well with the customer - it really was the icing on the cake for their day! (sorry!)

We really enjoy carrying out our Made-to-Order cake service. To know we have played a part in your special day is so uplifting.
If you have recently had one of our made to order cakes then please help spread the word about our dedicated service. If you are looking for the perfect place to buy that unique cake then look no further! We happily discuss all requirements with you today!

Why we love cake...

We love cake... who doesn't??

Indigo Cakes began many years ago when I was a young girl. Mum made the best cupcakes for one of my birthday parties, and all I wanted to eat after that was cupcakes!

Coming home from school to the smell of a baking cake was the best feeling ever!

I would help Mum make them whenever I could, and as I got older we would joke about opening up a cake shop! We'd make everything from little cupcakes, to pineapple upside-down cake, carrot, lemon and chocolate cakes to family birthday cakes. My favourite part has always been the decoration, making the cakes personal and giving them a bit of personality!

Now, our little cake shop joke has become a reality, and we couldn't be more happy with it!

What do you enjoy baking? Let us know below!

See you soon, Indigo Cakes x

Made to Order Cakes

Indigo Cakes offer a fabulous made to order service (even if we do say so ourselves). Currently, we are happy to deliver your made to order cake within a 30 mile radius, for a small fee dependant upon the distance. We ask for at least a weeks notice, but longer than this during busy periods such as Easter, Christmas and Mother's Day.

One of our recent made to order cakes is below;

 

 

We will be more than happy to discuss your requirements in store, on the phone or via email.

 

Any size, any colour, any shape! Don't be shy, we like a challenge!
