Art, coffee and cake at The Lightbox gallery: a perfect mix and the next best thing to edible art we reckon. 

Cake Inventor?  Yep. That’s a real life, official job here at Cakesmiths and it is, quite literally, in the hands of cake creator extraordinaire Mike Smart. 

With Christmas fast approching we would like to make you aware of the ordering and delivery schedule over the holiday period.

OK, OK, I know we're not out of September yet but as I've now been asked numerous times what the Christmas Specials Line-up is going to be, I thought I'd broadcast it in a blog post. With Christmas menus to write I understand the thirst for this information. The main focus of inquiry is whether the Christmas Bakewell is returning? I have good news Bakewell fans - the star of last year's line up is back and will be flanked by newbies After Dark and Spiced Amaretti Bark. They're a handsome trio and tasty to match!

Bold punchy Autumnal flavours replace the lighter, fresher Summer offerings and looking out of the window this morning it seems the timing on these couldn't have been better! 

We just love these. For those of you that defrost slices and return the tray to the freezer these reusable freezer bags will keep your cakes in perfect condition. 

  

We are dead excited to be launching our New Loaf Cake Range later this month.
