Cakes

All of our cakes are available as loaves (baked in a 2lb loaf tin) or round (baked in 24cm tin). Loaves cut into 8-10 slices; round cakes are slightly larger and cut into 10-12 slices. (Although the number of slices entirely depends upon your appetite!)

We have a range of regular cakes, biscuits and scones, and an ever changing selection of “specials” that take advantage of seasonal produce.

.

Current “specials”

• Spiced Pumpkin cake – made with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves and homemade pumpkin puree, topped with a whipped maple syrup, cream cheese and butter icing and toasted walnuts. The prefect Autumn cake.
• Banoffee Cake – a banana sponge cake split in half and filled with toffee sauce and fresh bananas and topped with a vanilla whipped butter and cream cheese icing.
• Pear & Chocolate cake – a lightly spiced sponge studded with nuggets or pear and chocolate chips, topped with glazed pear slices.
• Honey & Oat – a warming cake for an autumn day, heavy with honey and topped with a cinnamon flavoured whipped butter and cream cheese icing.
• Autumn Muffins – we’re constantly experimenting with our muffin flavours, our current favourites are “Pear & Ginger”, “Spiced Pumpkin with Walnuts and Currants” and “Apple, Date & Walnut”.
