A Little More About Us
What gives Cakehead the cherry on top?
Since 2004, we’ve been spreading joy from our Oakham-based bakery with cakes, bakes and plenty of personality. Behind every order is a team of passionate bakers who care just as much about quality as they do about creativity.
We’re serious about ingredients, using free-range eggs, sustainable chocolate, carefully sourced flour, and British sugar to make our bakes even more special.
But it’s not just about great cake (although that helps). We believe the experience of buying should be just as delightful as eating. That’s why we combine professional service with a friendly, down-to-earth approach.
