It’s National Cake Week this week, a movable feast that is always celebrated in the first full week of October. National Cake Week was founded by Lynn Hill in 2011, with the sole purpose of celebrating and sharing a whole cake together with family and friends. You will find a cake at the heart of almost every formal and informal gathering, whether in the office, a family birthday party, or a wedding and who doesn’t love a slice or two?

Cakes come in all shape sharing sizes, round, square and rectangular. Semi naked, the cake of course not the baker, with a feather light sponge, filled and topped with fresh fruit, or a chocoholic overload that is sure to send you into a sugar rush high.

What ever the occasion, National Cake Week is the time to celebrate the humble cake in all its glory. Share your creation on social media using the hashtag #nationalcakeweek

Pop in and sample some of our delicious cakes during National Cake Week and enjoy it with one of our #teas of the world Tuesday.
