From ideal temperatures to how to display and embrace upselling opportunities, we love sharing our tips with our customers—sharing is caring, right?
Pop your cakes straight in the freezer. Freezing your cakes will help prolong their shelf life and lock in those irresistible Cakehead flavours, ready to be released when they are served.
Once defrosted, our sponge-style cakes have a 2-3 day shelf life, and our traybakes have 4 days. They’ve even been pre-sliced to save you time and make it easy to defrost only what you need and limit waste.
If you have any cakes left over after a day on display, we recommend covering them and storing them in a cool, dry place overnight before displaying again the next day.
Our cakes make any counter or cabinet look irresistible, but here are a few tips that will make them even more difficult to resist.
Remember to keep different cakes from touching to prevent potential allergy contamination. Keep our gluten-free and vegan products separate from all your other cakes and use separate utensils to prevent cross-contamination.
Great cake always has creativity as a key ingredient, so feel free to add a good dollop of yours!
Why not upsell a slice of banana loaf by toasting it and serving it with a little butter or honey on top with freshly sliced banana?
Our chocolate brownies are also incredible when warmed up and served with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, while our Victoria sponge makes a classic afternoon tea treat with fresh strawberries and extra cream.

Baked with love in Rutland since 2004, we’ve been on a delicious mission to perfect our wholesale bakery service! Cakehead is the name on everyone’s lips, featured in The Sunday Times, The Guardian and BBC Good Food. Plus, we’ve got glowing reviews from happy cafe owners across the UK. Every slice is hand-finished and expertly pre-sliced, meaning less fuss for your team and more time to focus on serving and selling our amazing bakes!
Just some of the benefits we have to offer include free delivery on orders over £150, freezer-friendly bakes, next-day delivery and plenty of tasty options for customers following a vegan or gluten-free diet.
Our cardboard packaging is from a local supplier who works super hard to ensure they only use FSC-sourced board, which reduces CO2, water usage and keeps all waste during the manufacturing process to a minimum.
As a result, our packaging is fully recyclable and the inks we use for our (sometimes) witty messages are all vegetable-based.
You might have seen us talk about our Woolcool packaging elsewhere, but here’s the serious information about it.
This high-performance, thermal-insulated packaging is designed specifically for direct deliveries of chilled and frozen foods. It has also been rigorously tested and proven to keep produce within the temperature ranges required by the Food Standards Agency.
We even use 100% plant fibre liners with all our vegan products, which are made out of reusable, recyclable and biodegradable Cemp.
Some people count calories, others count their carbon emissions. We use DPD for our deliveries because they are committed to reducing their carbon footprint by measuring their greenhouse gas emissions and reviewing key performance indicators on how that is affecting the environment.
If that sounds complicated, it comes down to this: DPD do everything they can to not negatively impact our planet, so that’s why we like (and use) DPD. They are also building the largest all-electric delivery fleet in the UK!
Our delicious cakes and traybakes have a 10-day shelf life wrapped on arrival, and then once opened, the shelf life of our products ranges from 3 to 5 days. Please refer to each product page for this information. You’ll find all the ‘Best Before’ and allergen information on each individual box. We recommend freezing our cakes on arrival, which gives them a 12-month shelf life—great for minimising waste and maximising profits!
Our boxes are made in our bakery, which is based in Oakham, Rutland — the smallest county in the UK. We use fresh, free-range eggs, and we even squeeze our lemons from fresh by hand.
You can freeze our product to preserve freshness, but this should be done straight away once your box arrives on the day of delivery. All of our products are pre-sliced, so you display the number of slices you need rather than risking waste.
We deliver all over mainland UK, but do not currently deliver overseas.
No, sorry! We are primarily an online shop and we do not have the facilities or space for collections currently, but we offer free next-day delivery if you order before midday.
We freeze our cakes to lock the freshness and taste in, and we conveniently pre-slice them. Freezing them also helps preserve the cake in transit to prevent damage as they make their way to you.
Yes, you can select the date that best suits you at checkout. A calendar will appear, and from this you can select the date that is most suitable.
We work with coffee shops, garden centres, restaurants, and a wide range of food service businesses looking for quality, reliability and eye-catching bakes.
Definitely. We have a dedicated range of gluten-free and vegan bakes, including Great Taste Award winners, perfect for catering to all customers.
