Manhattan Cakes

Manhattan Cakes Daily cakes and Celebration Cakes for all Occasions. Sandwiches, Baguettes, salads & meal deals too!!! These can be personalised with a name and age.

Dairy, Gluten free Diabetic cake options can be available with 24 hours notice, although we usually have a gluten free & Diabetic cake option daily. Every cake at Manhattan Cakes is home baked and uses only free-range eggs

Please let me know if you have a special diet and I will endeavour to create a cake suitable for you. I have completed the training course for Coeliac awareness and will have

on offer some gluten free, fat free and lower fat cake options in my every day cake selection, after all, we should all be able to enjoy cake! Manhattan Cakes offers a selection of tray bake cakes, muffins and cookies that will include a lot of old fashioned favourites as well as modern classics. If we do not sell your ‘favourite’ then let me know and I will do my best to recreate it. If it becomes a popular seller then I may keep it as a permanent choice and will name it after you. ie: ‘Bob’s Favourite’

Celebration cakes
Your celebration takes a lot to organise and the cake is just as important as every other detail – whether you desire simplicity or grandeur–it should literally be ‘The icing on the cake’ for your occasion. Manhattan Cakes provides a flexible evening appointment arrangement. If you require a special cake, please contact me to book a time suitable to you, when we can sit down and discuss your requirements. If you are bringing along a partner, friend or family member to help you with your choice, let us know and we will provide seating and cake samplers for you all. Weddings- wedding cakes don’t have to be traditional – does your wedding have a theme? If you wish for a unique design then come and discuss it with me and I will do my best to create your dream cake. Engagement – To mark the happy couple’s special announcement with their names and special date. Birthdays – numerical cakes, themed cakes, come and discuss your requirements with me. Christenings - Pink or Blue or whatever colour you desire, along with themed decoration, name and date if required. You choose how you wish this special day to be marked. Anniversaries– Every kind of anniversary is a celebration. Marking it with a cake can be the perfect gift to someone or yourself! Do you wish to recreate your parent’s vintage wedding cake – what would be more personal than that? Manhattan Cakes can do this for you. Traditional Royal Icing was the icing of the vintage era –let me recreate those memories for you.

‘Say it with a Cake’ Cake – Have you ever been stuck for a gift idea for those other occasions? Do you want to say ‘Thank you’, ‘Good Luck’, ‘Sorry’ or ‘Congratulations’ or even ‘Will you Marry Me?’ – let me know your message and I will write it. Giving a cake like this really couldn’t be any more personal and is so unique! If I feel I cannot accommodate an idea you have then I will say so and aim to offer an alternative for you. Seasonal Cakes –
Christmas cakes - can be made to order, with or without marzipan and icing. Valentine’s Day Cakes – decorated cupcakes will be available – also see ‘Say it with Cake’ Cake
Easter themed Cakes – decorated cupcakes will be available
Halloween cakes – decorated cupcakes will be available. If you require a large order (over 30) of themed cupcakes – I may need at least 3 days notice. Cookies – all butter shortbread cookies available every day. Cake Stand Hire – Various tiered Cake stands for showcasing your special cake. Homemade Jams and Marmalades - Come into the shop to see our selection. Locally produced honey – produced by Widley Bees – did you know that eating honey that has been produced by your local bees is a great way to help Hayfever sufferers. It is also known to have a calming effect. Why not try honey on toast, in a sandwich, in porridge or just from the spoon! Delicious and sweet.

COFFEE SHOP IN WIDLEY!! .........ELLISHA'S

This is the very last post I will be making on my page and I won't be revisiting it again...but just wanted to give a big shout out to a lovely little Coffee Shop that is new and right on your doorstep here in Widley.
If you haven't already discovered her super friendly shop, then do pop along for Coffee, cake, sandwiches and more to 'Ellisha's' at 31 London Road, Widley. This is on the opposite side of the road to us opposite the Hampshire Rose Pub.

Milestone Monday April 12th 2021!

A massive good afternoon to everyone on this milestone day, after 3 lockdowns and an unprecedented year and now the beginnings of life getting back to some sense of normality.

It is with love, warmth, appreciation and thanks from the bottom of my heart that I tell you today that Manhattan Cakes will not be reopening along with all the other non-essential retail allowed to do so today.

We won't in fact be reopening at all in the future.

Some of you may have been aware that I have had a foot health problem for around 18 months now and to cut a long story short, I am no longer able to stand for the long hours the shop requires without being in intense pain.
The doctors have discovered Oesteoarthritis and I am having ongoing investigations to look deeper into the tissues and bones.

6 years ago this month, with unreserved dedication and support from Dean, my fab hubby and my dear Mum and family, I realised my dream of opening my own cake shop. And it is with thanks to our lovely customers and your continued valued support over these 6 years that we thrived and built up such a great rapport.

Widley is a wonderful area to be in and we have felt blessed.
Many wonderful friendships have been formed and remain close to our hearts.
So, it is not with sadness that I make this announcement today..........it is with a sense of achievement, gratitude and an abundance of thanks to YOU ALL, be it a customer from far away or indeed a neighbour. Your custom was so appreciated.

The shop will be rented out and we promise you it will be a business that will benefit the community. We have already agreed the Let to a lovely couple and we wish them all the very best in their venture. We won't be giving anything away on this, as that will be their good news to share and announce when they desire.

With love & thanks, stay safe and we are sure to see you locally as we will still live in Widley

One last message.......'don't hesitate.......always follow your dreams...they do come true'

Good afternoon everyone. Hoping everyone enjoyed their Christmas cakes, tray bakes, mince pies and Yule logs over the 'festive' (a very different festive) period. We still haven't even cut our own Christmas cake!😃
So here we are.........A new year !! 🥳Here's hoping 2021 will bring everyone the resolution and return to normality after turning the page on a very difficult year for all.
We want to thank you all for your continued custom and support in 2020 and look forward to next time we see you this year 🥰
In view of last night's announcement of the 3rd national lockdown, we will be closed for the duration. We won't be taking on any cake orders at all, for the period of lockdown or even future dates this year, until we are back open.

Please stay safe ❤️

Our best wishes to you all, Sally, Dean & Mum ###

Hi all! Just to say that if you haven't already collected your Xmas order I WILL be in touch today with a time slot for you x x

My pleasure lovely lady xx This year has been hard enough and it's been wonderful to share your beautiful talent with our customers, who love your cards. We have all been grateful for them, so thank YOU xx

Good afternoon everyone! Just a reminder that tomorrow is our last day open before Xmas. Next week I will be making all the traybake and Christmas orders and will contact you all individually over Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday to let you personally know when to come and collect your order, so wait for me to message or call you. It's not too late to order a whole traybake of your favourite slice. My cakes freeze really well, so if you wanted to put it by to bring out for Christmas or the New Year - this is perfect. (I will need your orders by the end of tomorrow).
We as a small family business want to take the opportunity to thank ALL of you lovely customers for your continued support over the course of 2020 and during these unprecedented times. I know Mum (Our diamond) hasn't been behind the counter with me this year, but she is in good health, keeps busy making her jams and all manner of things and she says to say 'Hello' and joins us in Wishing you all a very Happy, Healthy and safe Christmas and New Year.
All best wishes,
Sally, Dean & Mum ###
