Welcome

A Little Shed Full of Big Flavours

Cakes in the Bay is the sister business to Graze in the Bay — born from the same passion for handmade, quality food and sharing it with the community.

Our honesty shed sits at the front of our home in Paignton. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday we stock it with freshly baked goodies — brownies, flapjacks, millionaire's shortbread, cookies and much more. Each item is clearly labelled with ingredients and allergen information.

No card reader, no queue, no rushing. Just pick what you fancy, enjoy it, and come back next weekend for something new.
