I was looking for somewhere to celebrate my being 20 years past cancer diagnosis and came across the Sweet Rose Cakery. I had dismissed other afternoon tea places as having overly fancy food - don't get me wrong you can still get all that here - but they state on their menu that you can also have it without condiments or with them on the side. Ideal for us as we prefer our food plain. This was the only place I found that offered that as an option. There are other types of afternoon tea than the traditional one we had, so don't let our boring palates put you off. The four of us ate well there with cakes left over and the staff kindly packaged them up for us in a box to take home. Our tables were reserved with a cute little blackboard with my name and the time we could have the table. In our case 12-2. I liked the fact that I knew upfront how long we could be there without worrying about outstaying our welcome. My Husband isn't keen on cakes as such and they only to happy to help by toasting him a teacake which we paid for in addition to the tea itself. It's always handy to know that you can add extras on, like my hot chocolate and his latte. All in all, the staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble, they even helped us work out what bus we could get home and kindly humoured me by reading my special commemorative card,lol (Sorry about that). I will definitely be...

Read moreWe employed Sweet Rose Cakery to make our wedding cake that was perfect in terms of looks and taste. My wife and I always wanted our wedding cake to taste as good as it looked!
The cake shop provided generous pieces of the different types of cake for us to taste. As opposed to other cake shops, they did not charge us for the samples.
The owner (also the cake maker) sat with us to offer her expertise and help us pick a clean design that was also fitting for the occasion.
The cake looked great and tasted delicious. All our guests loved the cake and plenty was taken home by our guests.
Thank you to the mother-daughter team at the cake shop and we will certainly use them again for future...
