Why Exploding Bakery Cakes Belong in Farm Shops
Farm shops aren’t just shops. They’re destinations. From mini day-trips to a place where people go in for eggs and somehow leave with a boot full of local cheese, chutney, flowers… and a traybake they plan to “share”.
Which is exactly why the cake counter matters.
Because farm shop customers don’t want naff cake. They want proper cake that looks and tastes homemade. Bold flavours and slices that feel worth the treat.
That’s where Exploding Bakery comes in. Together we make a very good match.
We bake cakes that work beautifully in farm shop cafés and food halls because they tick the boxes that matter most:
- They sell (slice after slice)
- They look handmade and generous (not factory-perfect and soulless)
- They're made with the finest ingredients
- They’re built for busy service (quick portioning, minimal waste)
- They feel premium
Farm shops are full of brilliant produce and our cakes match that energy.

Provenance Matters (And We’re Big on It)
Farm shops are proudly values-led: provenance, farming, ethical sourcing, seasonal eating, sustainability. Same here.
At Exploding Bakery, we’re obsessive about ingredients and ethics, because “good enough” isn’t really our vibe. We choose suppliers that align with how we want to bake (and how we want to exist in the world), including:
- Shipton Mill flour (including regenerative organic options)
- Trewithen Dairy butter
- St Ewe free-range eggs
- Luker Chocolate from Colombia (with strong ethical and environmental commitments)
- a focus on better farming and responsible sourcing
We’re also Palm Oil free, and we care deeply about reducing unnecessary waste and packaging. We’re members of 1% for the Planet, because we believe cake can be joyful and responsible.
In farm shop language: we’re not here for cheap shortcuts. We’re here for doing it properly.
Perfect for Destination Farm Shops & Rural Gems
Whether you’re a big-name destination farm shop like Darts Farm or a local favourite like Teals in Somerset or St Kew in Cornwall. Farm shop customers are there for an experience. They want to taste something special, discover something new, and take a treat home “for later”.

Together we can say goodbye to mass produced food and support the small, independent businesses together.
