What is a wholesale cake supplier?
A wholesale cake supplier bakes cakes in larger batches and supplies them to cafés, coffee shops, farm shops and delis. Instead of each business baking everything in house, cakes are delivered ready to slice and serve on the counter. Our cakes at Exploding Bakery are handmade in Devon.
Buying wholesale cakes can make a big difference busy cafés. It saves time, reduces labour and ensures a consistent supply of high-quality cakes that look great and taste just as good from the first slice to the last.

A good wholesale cake supplier understands the needs of hospitality businesses. Cakes need to slice cleanly, have a long shelf life, hold their texture throughout the day and still look and taste indulgent to customers.

Exploding Bakery wholesale cakes
Exploding Bakery began life as a small café in Exeter back in 2011. What started as a handful of cakes baked for our own counter has grown into a bakery supplying cafés and retailers across the UK.
Our wholesale range focuses on cakes that work beautifully in busy café environments. These are cakes that portion well, hold their texture and pair perfectly with coffee.
Our core range includes:
• brownies
• blondies
• traybakes
• loaf cakes
• flapjacks
They’re the kinds of cakes that customers recognise, crave and come back for.
Quality ingredients matter
Great cake starts with great ingredients. That’s why we’re fussy about what goes into everything we bake.
We use organic flour from Shipton Mill, a family-run mill known for its commitment to quality and regenerative agriculture. Our chocolate comes from Luker Chocolate, a Colombian company that supports sustainable cacao farming and forest protection. We also bake with rich butter from Trewithen Dairy in Cornwall, alongside free-range St. Ewe eggs and carefully sourced nuts and fruits discarding monoculture farming methods.
Choosing better ingredients doesn’t just make ethical sense, it also produces cakes with deeper flavour, better texture and a more satisfying finish.

Ethically made, irresponsibly eaten
At Exploding Bakery we believe good cake should also be responsible cake. That means avoiding unnecessary additives, using ingredients we trust and working with suppliers who care about how food is grown and produced.
We’re also members of 1% for the Planet, donating a portion of our revenue to environmental causes including Surfers Against Sewage, helping protect the waters and landscapes close to home here in the South West.
