Skylark is an independent cafe bakery serving up freshly prepared deliciousness in Leicester's Clarendon Park. We're a neighbourhood bakery with a cosy vibe; a family kitchen where we proudly create our cakes, bakes, cinnamon buns, savouries and afternoon teas every day from scratch using locally sourced, fresh produce whenever we can. It's for all these reasons that we are happy to say that Skylark is not only about nice cakes, but nice times too!

Enjoy a delicious 3 tier Afternoon Tea in our quirky cafe bakery. A platter of tasty sandwiches and pastries, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and preserves, two tiers of scrumptious cakes and treats and a bottomless pot of loose leaf tea from our wide range or a speciality coffee are all included.
Our cupcakes are freshly baked and decorated daily and each one of our artisan cuties is filled and decorated to create a perfect cakey treat. So whether it's to treat family, friends or work colleagues, order a box of delicious treats, beautifully gift boxed and make someone's day. We regularly update our cupcake flavours so if you don't see your favourite, just ask us, we'll be happy to bake it for you next time you're in!
Select your cake flavour and size then choose a message for your topper. Remember, all our cakes and bakes are suitable for vegetarians but we also bake for Gluten Free and Vegan diets so remember to mention when you're placing your order! Each one is carefully baked with fresh, natural ingredients in the traditional, homebaked way and provides generous portions to enjoy.

VERY DISAPPOINTED (5 visits/orders)
Taste - Gone downhill
Wait times- Quite long even when not busy.
Price -TOP END/Overpriced for what you get.
There was once a time I could convince myself that the high prices and questionable service was worth paying for the good taste.
However, if the last 4 orders are anything to go by it really isn't.
Either they've changed kitchen staff or cheapened the ingredients but one thing is for sure, the quality of the products just hasn't been there for a while.
I hate writing such a review, but I'm afraid there is only so much disappointment one can take

I ordered a cake for my son's birthday at short notice (due to another Bakery messing me around) through Wendy at Skylark Bakery and I am so happy that I did! My wife and I ordered a themed cake through her website, which was really easy to do. She exceeded our expectations with the presentation of the cake and the taste of the cake was amazing! My little boy loved the cake and the whole family polished the cake off. Genuinely one of the best cakes I have had for a very long time and the pictures of the cakes she has on her website does not do it justice until you see it for real. Highly, highly

The team from skylark were so helpful and accommodating when ordering a wedding cake and an assortment of cupcakes for my wedding. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was taken care of, I was kept informed and updated throughout the whole process and left me with one less thing to worry about regarding wedding planning. Can’t praise skylark enough!

Went here for the first time on Saturday for afternoon tea for a friend's birthday and the staff were brilliant! I called to ask about parking and my friend booked a table for 6 of us through Instagram and it was so simple.
We got there early to surprise a friend and the staff set up a table as soon as we got there and offered us a drink while we were waiting which was lovely.
They have vegan and dairy free options for food and milk which was brilliant for our group because we had one vegan afternoon tea and one who had soya milk so they cater for everyone. They also had vegan, gluten free and

Worth a visit if you’re in Leicester and staying in Clarendon area. It’s such a cute little cafe and they offer a great selection of teas and (vegan & gluten free) yummy cupcakes.
We visited last weekend on a Saturday and it was quite busy. I had the apple and blueberry muffin & Morrocan tea and enjoyed it. Would definitely visit again if I’m in the area!
