Bake Your Own Cakes or Order In: Which is Best for Your Cafe?

If you run a cafe, and you’re wondering whether you should bake your own cakes or order in, we’ve got you covered with our guide. 

Should you bake your own cafe cakes?

To bake or not to bake, that is the question. For many cafe owners, this decision relies on a number of factors—whether you have the culinary skills, sufficient kitchen facilities, or the right-sized team. You’ll also want to ensure consistency, cost-effectiveness and reliability of your cake supply. 

The idea of baking your own sounds idyllic—but if you’re looking to scale up your cake supply to meet growing demand, a wholesale supplier could be your new best friend. The best part? You can still get that freshly baked cake quality and shake up your menu as often as you like with ease. 

What are the benefits?

With the right wholesale cake or brownie supplier, you can enjoy the bliss of knowing consistently good bakes are on their way to your kitchen when you need them.

A good supplier will provide more than just great bakes! Suppliers like us at Cakehead make the wholesale cake ordering process much smoother. From free online guides and advice over the phone to little extras, such as non-branded display cards, all this and more makes sourcing and selling cakes a breeze. 

Why choose Cakehead?

We believe cakes should be fun to choose, too! With so many options (including vegan and gluten-free), you should be able to craft the perfect menu. 

We partner with sustainable growers and ensure every bake is full of flavour and farm-fresh ingredients. That means your quality control is sorted! 

From the Rutland bakery to your kitchen, all our processes are compliant with conditions set by the Food Standards Agency, and we are also BRC AA* accredited.  

You can now purchase display cards. These are non-branded and ready to display as soon as they arrive. The benefit? They look professional, and your customers can quickly identify what cakes you have on offer. Your team can also confidently provide allergen advice for every cake.
