The Cake Studio

Family-run and based in Milborne Port, this is a cake business built on the idea that a celebration cake should look like the person it was made for. Bespoke is the whole point here: wedding cakes at the elegant end, birthday creations at the daft end, each one designed and handcrafted around the customer's own style and story. Taste of the West accreditation backs up the quality, flavour and craftsmanship claims rather than simply asserting them.

Allergies and dietary requirements are taken seriously, with a particular passion for gluten-free cakes made to taste as indulgent as they look rather than merely acceptable. Beyond the commissions there are handcrafted sweet treats, including a triple chocolate brownie heart wreath. If you would rather taste before you commit, head to The Cake Shed at the weekend, where homemade treats are sold by the slice or boxed up to share.
