The Handmade Cake Company makes delicious wholesale cakes, traybakes, and scones by hand, for coffee shops and cafes across the UK and Europe. In 1983, in the kitchen of Diana Maher, an exceptional home baker, The Handmade Cake Company was born. She began baking delicious cakes for a local coffee shop, but the cakes tasted so good they were soon over run with orders.
Their front room became an office, the garage was turned into a freezer and the family car was exchanged for a delivery van. Whilst Diana's original recipes are still used for some of our best loved cakes, we now have a dedicated team who develop new and incredible creations. Our new bakes range from traditional to cutting edge but are always handmade and incredibly tasty.

Services
Every cake is baked by us, from scratch, using all natural ingredients and only ever free-range eggs. They taste lovely and look "homemade". All our cakes are delivered frozen to preserve their quality (we don't add any funny ingredients to prolong their lives). If you're a cake-using business and you want a sample, we'll sort that out for you - just give our friendly sales team a call.
We're baking more and more gluten free cakes and traybakes, but we know there are other things that some of our customers are allergic to as well. You can download our allergen information sheets here for all the important allergen facts about our cakes. We have a full range of POS cards to accompany our cakes, featuring our logo, cake name and nut warnings (if any) on the front.
We only sell to trade via frozen food wholesalers. Yes, our wholesalers distribute our cakes Nationwide, including most of Wales and Scotland. For International export enquiries, please contact us for specific country requirements. Yes! Though the number of cakes we bake has grown, our batch size remains relatively small and we're careful to stay true to our handmade promise, even designing specific tools to assist the bakers where necessary.
