Even if you have no intention of buying a cake, stop by this place - even if just to peer through the window! These guys really know their cakes and the decorations they do are outstanding. They make custom birthday, wedding, communion etc cakes and i assume they are popular because the people who work there are ALWAYS busy! The windows not only show off the fabulous cakes but you also watch the cake makers at work. It really is spectacular. If you go inside the shop they sell little individual cakes and also basic larger cakes to buy straight off the sef - as well as decorating tools, models, ribbons etc.
The cakes in the window do swap quite a lot, especially depending on the season. For instance at the moment they have some really tasty looking easter cakes on display.
If you google them you will find they have a website, but if you are looking to order a cake i suggest you pop in and talk to them because they really can make anything!
The Cake Shop, based in Oxfordshire, is hidden away in a market deluge of bakeries, butchers and ornamental stalls. They specialise in designing and creating celebration cakes for all occasions including weddings, civil partnerships, birthdays, christenings and corporate events. "The cakes we produce are designed and tailored to suit our customer's individual requirements", well they certainly suited mine as anyone who knows me understands implicitly that I just LOVE a bit of a cake. And gingerbread men, but the question is...what's the best way to eat them?

I absolutely have to walk past this place every time I'm in the Covered Market. It sells the most amazing cakes. I've already got my eye on ones to recommend to any friends who look remotely like they might get married one day.
Their speciality is big cakes, so wedding cakes and birthday cakes. They have some standard designs which can be modified to suit individual needs (such as the classic 3-tier wedding cake with various flowers on top and frosting round the edge), but their best ones are individual ones or unusual ones. They usually have some amazing chocolate ones on display, with huge chocolate roses or a heap of handmade chocolates piled on the top, but they swap displays round regularly so it's great fun looking at new arrivals, whether they're a snowboarding cake, or a wedding table cake with customised guests, or a couple in a jacuzzi.
The absolute best thing is that you can watch the decorating in progress, as it's all done facing out by a window. It's really hypnotic watching someone craft a little marzipan bride or write a birthday message on a cake in piping icing.
They also sell all manner of cake decorations and mini cakes for special occasions, as well as the best range I've ever seen of those cute little yellow chicks you get at Easter.
