Wholesale Cakes for Cafes, Delis & Restaurants
Running a cafe, deli or restaurant means juggling dozens of decisions every day, but your customers’ cake selection shouldn’t be one of them.
We’re wholesale cake suppliers who bake like we’re making cakes for our own counter, with every loaf cake and round cake handcrafted in our Rutland bakery using British farm-fresh ingredients. The result? Wholesale cakes that sell themselves.

A Partnership Built With Cakehead
Choosing Cakehead isn’t just about stocking wholesale cakes; it’s about partnering with a dedicated bakery team that handles the baking, decorating, and logistics, so you can focus on your customers
Flexible Ordering: £75 minimum order (£6.50 delivery) and free delivery over £150.
Zero Waste: Our cakes are delivered ambient so they can go straight into the freezer with a 12-month shelf life. By only defrosting what you need for the day, you eliminate the end-of-day binning that eats into your profits. Every slice you buy is a slice you can sell.
A Handmade Reputation: Give your customers the artisanal, hand-decorated quality they crave without the overhead of an in-house baker. We use premium ingredients and techniques to ensure your counter looks and tastes independently crafted.
Inclusive Recipes: Don’t lose customers because you lack dietary options. Our partnership gives you instant access to a market-leading range of Vegan and Gluten-Free wholesale cakes that taste just as indulgent as the classics.

The Bakers Behind Your Counter
We aren’t a high-volume factory, we’re a small team of dedicated bakers with a mission to bridge the gap between mass-produced wholesale cakes and the authentic taste of a local independent bakery.
Award-winning quality: We’re proud winners of multiple Great Taste Awards and AA* BRC accreditation, which is the highest standard in food safety and quality. Our cakes have been featured in The Sunday Times, The Guardian, and BBC Good Food.
British ingredients, always: We source farm-fresh eggs, British butter and hand-squeeze our lemons. We even use seasonal produce because local quality matters. This quality is evident in our products, and new flavours keep our range of offerings endlessly exciting.
Dietary inclusivity as standard: We believe everyone deserves a proper slice of cake. Our gluten-free and vegan options aren’t afterthoughts, they’re crafted with the same care as our classics.

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.
FAQs About Wholesale Cakes
What is your minimum order value for wholesale cakes?
Our minimum order value is £75. Delivery costs £6.50 for orders under £150, and we offer free delivery on all orders over £150.
Do you offer next-day delivery for wholesale cake orders?
Yes, we offer next-day delivery for orders placed before midday. Your cakes are delivered by DPD, who will provide you with a delivery slot on the day of arrival. For large orders over £1,800, we recommend ordering at least 10 days in advance, though we’ll do our best to accommodate urgent requests.
What types of wholesale cakes do you supply?
We supply both round cakes and loaf cakes in a variety of flavours. Our range includes classic recipes, gluten-free options and vegan cakes to ensure you can cater to all your customers’ dietary requirements.
How long do your wholesale cakes stay fresh?
Our cakes have a 10-day shelf life when kept sealed on arrival. For longer storage, we recommend freezing them as soon as they arrive because this extends shelf life to up to 12 months. All products are pre-sliced, so you can defrost only what you need.
Once defrosted, sponge-style cakes stay fresh for 2-3 days, and traybakes last up to 4 days. Simply thaw at room temperature before serving.
Can I try your cakes before placing a large wholesale order?
Yes! We offer a sample box so you can taste our range before committing to a full wholesale order. This is a great way to test customer reactions and decide which flavours work best for your business.
What makes Cakehead different from other wholesale cake suppliers?
We’re a small-batch bakery based in Rutland, not a mass-production factory. Every cake is handcrafted using British farm-fresh ingredients, giving you the authentic taste and quality of an independent bakery with the reliability of a wholesale supplier.
How do I set up a wholesale account with Cakehead?
Simply click the “Sign Up for Wholesale Account” button on this page. Once your account is approved, you’ll have access to our full range, easy online ordering and dedicated wholesale support.
Why are your cakes pre-sliced?
Pre-slicing ensures every portion is perfectly sized and consistent, saving you time and reducing waste. Each cake is machine-cut and individually wrapped to maintain quality and freshness. This way, you can defrost only what you need and keep the rest frozen for later.
How do your cakes arrive?
Your cakes are delivered at ambient temperature in branded FSC-certified cardboard boxes, insulated with Woolcool to maintain freshness. Each cake is individually sealed and labeled with full ingredients and best-before dates. We use 100% plant-fibre liners for all vegan products.
Do you have any food safety certifications?
Yes, we hold AA* BRC accreditation, the highest standard in food safety and quality. Many of our products have also won Great Taste Awards, recognising exceptional flavour and craftsmanship.
