Good to know

Questions, answered

How much notice do you need for a custom cake?+
For a made-to-order design it is always best to call ahead so we can plan the bake and decorations for your date. Ring us on 020 8551 2114 to check availability for your occasion.
Do you make eggless, halal or vegan cakes?+
Yes. Cakes & Bakes is known for its eggless fresh cream cakes, and halal and vegan-friendly options are available. Let us know your requirements when you order and we will guide you.
Can you recreate a cake from a picture?+
That is what we love doing. Bring in or message a photo of the design you like, and our cake chef will do his best to recreate it, from themed birthdays to tiered celebration cakes.
Do you sell cakes and treats to take away today?+
Yes. Alongside made-to-order cakes we have cupcakes, cake slices, brownies and pastries freshly baked in store, seven days a week.
Where are you and how do I get there?+
We are at 59 High St, Barkingside, Ilford IG6 2AD, on the High Street near Fullwell Cross and a short walk from Barkingside Station on the Central line.
For the owner — a few things to confirm before launch: opening hours (shown live from your Google listing); the eggless / halal / vegan-friendly and fresh-cream details read from your shop window; eat-in seating and the birthday cupcake club; your cake chef's name for the About section if you would like it credited; a mobile or WhatsApp number if you would like a "message us" button added; and any set prices or lead times you want listed. Nothing here is invented — it is drawn from your Google listing, reviews and shopfront. This note is removed before the site goes live.
