Cake House Bakery

About Cake House Bakery

Cake House Bakery was founded in 2019 by Rick Bhambra, who brought ten years of experience working with another cake franchise. The business specialises in fresh cream cakes that contain no eggs and are suitable for vegetarians, presented in branded boxes. Its proposition combines premium-looking cakes with affordable pricing. The company reports 11 shops, predominantly in Greater London, alongside around 22 delivery-only locations. Cake House Bakery is offering franchise opportunities across the UK, subject to territory availability. Franchisees operate retail outlets without baking cakes themselves, as production is handled by the business. The package includes help with site selection, store layout, business planning, marketing tools and an operations manual. Training takes place in an existing store for up to four weeks, followed by site visits, audits and ongoing operational and marketing support.

What's expected of a franchisee

Property requirements

Cake House Bakery requires premises of at least 800 sq ft in busy locations with strong pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Preferred sites are in populous residential areas, near other local businesses and shopping parades, with nearby parking and good transport links. The brand seeks a varied local customer mix and will consider existing premises owned by an applicant, subject to approval. The franchisor assists with site selection and store layout before opening.

Training and support

Franchisees receive up to four weeks of training in an existing Cake House Bakery store, designed to cover the skills needed to run an outlet. Pre-opening assistance includes site selection, store layout, business plan development, an operations manual and marketing tools. Ongoing support includes site visits, audits, operational guidance, marketing advice and business development assistance. The business handles cake production, so franchisees do not need to bake on site.

Operational requirements

Cake House Bakery franchisees operate branded retail outlets selling egg-free, vegetarian fresh cream cakes supplied by the business. Baking is handled centrally rather than at the franchise location. Operators are responsible for customer service, local sales, staffing and following the brand’s marketing and operating systems. The business specifies sites of at least 800 sq ft and expects franchisees to complete its training programme and work within an approved territory.

Experience required

No previous bakery or franchise experience is required to become a Cake House Bakery franchisee. The company provides up to four weeks of training in an existing shop, while handling cake production itself. Applicants should be prepared to manage a customer-facing retail business, follow the brand’s operating systems and develop sales in their approved area. They will also need to fund the franchise package and secure suitable premises, subject to franchisor approval.
