Cakes & Pastries

Here at the Christmas Bakery we live by when we’re happy we celebrate with cake! And when we’re sad we console ourselves with cake! We believe cakes should be sweet, delicious and colourful, so all our cakes are made with that in mind. We produce a huge variety of cakes and pastries every week for you to enjoy, from lemon drizzle to chocolate eclairs, caramel slices to flapjack, cupcakes to fudge brownie, iced finger buns to jam doughnuts, chelsea buns to cream slices and many, many more!

Sensation Cakes

Our Sensation Cakes are a range of 10" round cutting cakes that cut into 16 slices, perfect for friends and family gatherings. The range is inspired by traditional cake flavours including; The Lemon Sensation, a zesty lemon cake with Sicilian lemon curd filling and topped with lemon flavoured icing. The Carrot Sensation, a delicious, creamy no nuts carrot cake, sandwiched together with a cream cheese frosting. The Coffee and Walnut Sensation, a rich coffee cake with bitter-sweet flavours that's packed with walnuts. The Chocolate Sensation, a firm favourite among chocolate lovers, rich and everything chocolate! The Victoria Sensation, a true baking classic! A light sponge cake, with our delicious bakers cream and raspberry jam filling. The Battenberg Sensation, classic afternoon tea treat that brightens up the table with its jolly coloured sponge, covered with marzipan and dusted with sugar. All of them are truly scrumptious!

Fresh Cream Cakes

A true bakers shop will always have a range of fresh cream cakes to sell, so you will always find a range of fresh cream cakes in our shops. In fact we're so famous for our delicious fresh cream cakes, that if you're not here by 11am don't be surprised if you've missed them! On sale every day our generous fresh cream cake range includes Eclairs, Meringues, Scones, Doughnuts, Slices and filled Apple Puffs. Go on you know you want one....

Lardy Cakes

Lardy cakes are a popular traditional bake, which originated from the countryside in the southern counties of England where it was traditionally eaten as a mid-afternoon snack by workers in the field. Our lardy cakes are so popular and so delicious they deserve their own mention, made from an age-old recipe they are one of our best selling cakes. Quite often when we mention the word lard to customers, it's greeted with horrified looks, but if you're brave enough to try, you're reaction will soon change, because they're simply delicious!

Sharing Cakes & Sponges

Our delightful range of large cakes and sponges are the perfect sharing cakes, each boxed in our Christmas Bakery branded cake boxes and include all the great cake classics, like Cherry Cake, Lemon Drizzle, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Cake, Fruit Cake, Madeira Cake, Coffee and Walnut Cake, Ginger Cake, Battenberg, Victoria Sponge, Chocolate Sponge and Swiss Rolls.  Just remember you're suppose to share!

Small Cakes

Caramel Slice, Fudge Brownie, Shortbread, Flapjack, Rocky Road, Viennese Fingers, Cupcakes, Macaroons, Gingerbread, Shortbread teddy bear biscuits, carrot cake... these are just some of the small cakes we produce every week, plus rock cakes and scones, large and small, plain, fruit or cheese, we have just about every cake to make that perfect afternoon tea. Plus, throughout the year look out for our seasonal cake lines especially for Easter, Mother's Day, Halloween and of course Christmas our favourite time of year!

Sweet Tarts and Puff Pastries

We love pastry!  Bakewell Tart, Treacle Tart, Lemon Tart, Jam Tart, Custard Tart and our best selling Butterscotch Tart are to name but a few of our delicious sweet tarts. During the year we like to introduce new flavours to reflect the seasons, such as Pecan Tart for Autumn, Strawberries and Lemon Meringue for Summer and Winter Berries and Mint Chocolate in Winter. We also produce a range of traditional puff pastries, including Eccles Cakes, Apple Puffs, Apple Strudel, Cream Horns and Cream Slices all filled with our delicious bakers cream; very popular and very nice!

Morning Buns & Doughnuts

Our buns and doughnuts are made every night from a scratch recipe handed down through the generations. Our jam doughnuts are the real thing, we haven't opted for the American style ring doughnut, instead ours are classic, traditional and very sweet, some are iced, some just  jam, some are sprinkled with assorted sugar strands, some we fill with bakers cream and some with cold custard. Our buns are made fresh every night and include Chelsea Buns, Fruit Buns, Devon Buns and our best selling Iced Finger Buns, soft, sticky and deliciously sweet. We also produce our own croissants and range of Danish pastries to offer a continental alternative for your breakfast stop.

Hot Cross Buns

Fresh Bread & Rolls

Making bread requires care, technical knowledge and a great deal of commitment. At the Christmas Bakery we produce a variety of different breads to suit all tastes, from traditional white and wholemeal loaves to sourdough’s and speciality breads including our bestselling Multi-seed and Norfolk Crunch. All our breads and rolls are made with strong flours milled the traditional way from Canadian and English wheat. We work with Heygates, a family milling business since the 19th Century, who deliver twice a week from their mill in Tring. With nearly 4 tonnes of flour delivered every week, we're baking nearly 24 hours a day, 6 days a week to ensure you enjoy warm, hearty loaves!
