Behind the Scenes: What Goes Into Our Cakes at The Tea Rooms

Ever wonder what it takes to make those beautiful cakes you see on our counter — or in the party rooms?

At The Tea Rooms, every single cake is made from scratch with care, creativity, and a whole lot of love (plus a bit of icing sugar in our hair). In this post, we’re taking you behind the scenes to show you what really goes into the bakes that make our customers smile.

🧁 1. It Starts Early (and With a Very Good Playlist)

We’re in the kitchen before the sun’s up, prepping ingredients, preheating ovens, and setting the tone for the day. The smell of melted chocolate and baked sponge before 8am? It’s the dream. (Well, some mornings 😅)

And yes — there’s always music playing. Baking without a good soundtrack is just mixing.

🎂 2. Every Cake Has a Story

From custom birthday cakes to themed party desserts and afternoon tea favourites, each bake is made with someone in mind. We consider flavours, decorations, colours, and often get customer requests that add a personal twist.

Whether it’s a gothic treat for a themed event, or a stack of cupcakes for a child’s party — every single item is decorated by hand with love and care.

🧺 3. It’s Not Just About Looks — It’s About Quality

We use real ingredients (no cake mix shortcuts here), and we store and serve everything with care. That’s part of why our cakes taste as good as they look — and why we keep hearing, “That was the best cake I’ve ever had.”
