Bespoke cakes for every occasion

The Cake Shop specialises in exquisitely hand-crafted, premium celebration cakes for any occasion. We have been trading since 1986 in the historic city of Oxford, in the Covered Market. We are also the sister company to the popular Heritage Bakery in Wantage, an independently run artisan bakery, passionate about hand crafted bread using age old traditional techniques.

Our brilliant cake designers can recreate anything in cake form beautifully decorated with meticulous detail. From cats to cricket bats, unicorns to universities, our custom cakes can be whatever you want them to be. Check out some of our favourites below or see our gallery for ideas then get in touch for a personal consultation with one of our designers.

A true work of art!

The Land Rover was exceptional: so incredibly realistic and the attention to detail phenomenal. The figures were charming and the icing beautiful.

Thank you so very much, you really excelled yourselves and brought us all so much pleasure.

Vanessa Macdonald

I just wanted to get in touch to thank you for the incredible cake

We received it yesterday for our organisation's 30th anniversary. We had so many compliments about the cake and the taste was just perfect. Honestly exceeded our expectations. 

Adele Davies

Utterly thrilled with our wedding cake

It was the ultimate showstopper and exceeded our expectations! The craftsmanship, the skill, the details... amazing! And the taste was delicious.

We were all wowed by this terrific centrepiece. The cake brought everyone a lot of joy and the likenesses of the figures were uncanny!
