One of the things that makes baking so rewarding is knowing exactly where your cakes end up – and when it comes to The Black Cat Cafe at Gains Cross, near Shillingstone, we couldn’t ask for a better home for them.

The Black Cat has been one of our stockists since the very beginning of their journey, and it’s been wonderful to watch them grow into such a beloved spot in the Dorset countryside. Tucked just off the A357 on the brow of the hill, with stunning views, free parking, and a warm welcome for everyone – dogs included – it’s the kind of place that makes a slice of cake taste even better.

Over the years, we’ve supplied everything from classic Victoria Sponge and rich Chocolate Fudge Cake to more adventurous flavours like Gin, Lemon & Rosemary and Apple Crumble mini loaves. We even had the pleasure of baking the scones for a special afternoon tea hosted for members of the Dorset Blind Association.

If you’re out exploring the North Dorset Trailway, or simply looking for a reason to escape the house, do pop in and say hello. You might just find something of ours waiting for you on the counter.
