Working closely with you to create the perfect cake, Bachmanns strive to create a bespoke and personal cake which tastes gorgeous and looks stunning. These days you don’t have to settle for a Victoria sponge – from delicate gateaux to rich sacher tortes, we’ll give your celebration that extra special touch. If your party has a special theme, we can add an image, wording or even a logo hand drawn in chocolate to the top of your cake.
Ask about our celebration gateaux and cakes– we can create them from 8 inch square for sixteen portions (from £56), to big enough for 110 people (from £365)– and you can create your choice of fillings and finishes to suit any occasion. Order in advance at our shops or give us a call, ideally with a minimum of three working days notice, but even if it’s a last minute purchase our team will always be on hand to give you an option for your special day.
