Why Independent Cafés Deserve Better Cake
(And why it should probably be ours)
Let’s be honest. If you’re running an independent café, you’ve already got enough on your plate. You’re pulling perfect flat whites, remembering regulars’ oat milk preferences, juggling playlists and you're probably chopping spring onions at the same time.
The last thing you need? Flavourless beige cake that sits on the counter like a forgotten doorstop.
That’s where we come in. We bake wholesale cakes for independent cafés, delis, and slice-slingers across the UK who want to serve cake with character, the Exploding Bakery way.
We Bake Cake That Actually Tastes of Something
We don’t mess around with cake mixes, preservatives, or other weird stuff you wouldn’t put in your own kitchen. Instead, we use:
- Natural, ethically sourced ingredients like organic, British grown flour.
- The good stuff like single-origin chocolate, free range eggs and real butter
- No palm oil. Ever.
- No fake flavours or preservatives
You will taste the difference and so will your customers.

Every cake is handmade in our Devon bakery by humans (not robots or soulless factory lines), then frozen and pre-scored to make your cake prep quicker. You’ve got better things to do than wrestle with clingfilm and blunt knives.
Our Cakes Look Good And Sell Fast
Cakes should stop people in their tracks and not blend into the background. We care just as much about how our bakes look as how they taste. Our slices come with bold flavours, epic textures and a standout visual that gives your cake counter a real glow-up.
Got a mix of gluten-free and vegan customers? We’ve got you. Want something seasonal and limited edition? We’ve got those too, just keep an eye out on seasonal 'Cake Drops'. Check out the full wholesale cake range to get a flavour.

A Slice That Does Good
We’re not just slinging cake. We’re baking for change. We’re proud members of 1% For The Planet organisation, meaning 1% of every sale goes to environmental causes we believe in (like supporting Surfers Against Sewage tree planting or protecting endangered species).
Our cakes arrive in compostable or recyclable packaging, and we’re always looking for ways to tread lighter on the planet. If you want cake that fits your values, this is it.

Order Wholesale Cake (Without the Headache)
Ordering is simple. Head to our wholesale page, create an account, and get cake delivered next day to your café door. We deliver Tuesday-Saturday all over Mainland UK.
Most cakes arrive pre-scored and ready to serve, so you can display what you need and keep the rest in fridge. No waste. No stress. Just really good cake that flies off the shelf.
Your Coffee Deserves Better
If you’re serious about your brews, your cakes should keep up. Our bakes are made to pair perfectly with high standard coffee, because we’ve spent years loitering in cafés, eating slices, and drinking espresso to test the theory.
