There’s a new place to satisfy your sweet tooth on Walton Road. Cakes & Bakes, the British cake shop brand, opened its East Molesey store at 138 Walton Road on 21 September 2026, bringing celebration cakes, cupcakes, slices and treats to the community. Whether you need a birthday cake for tomorrow or just fancy a slice with a coffee break, here are five reasons to pop in.
1. A New Cake Shop on Walton Road
Cakes & Bakes East Molesey officially opened its doors on 21 September 2026, and it’s now part of the busy run of shops on Walton Road. The brand was first established in 2002 in East Ham, East London, after its founders spotted a gap in the market for boutique cake shops, and it now has more than 20 stores. Its cakes, desserts and pastries are baked and decorated in a central bakehouse, with each shop adding the finishing touches such as fruit, chocolates and personalised messages. The East Molesey shop has a counter full of treats, so it’s easy to walk in and pick something up.
2. Cakes for Every Celebration
Celebration cakes are the big speciality. The range covers birthday cakes for every age, anniversaries, baby showers, graduations, weddings and corporate events, plus tier cakes, number cakes and themed designs such as Barbie and Disney Princess. You can also order personalised birthday cakes and photo cakes, where a favourite picture is printed onto the cake, as well as edible printed photo cupcakes. Novelty cakes are pre-order only, so plan ahead for anything elaborate. With Christmas cakes on the menu too, it’s handy for festive parties and family get-togethers over the coming weeks.
3. Cupcakes, Slices and Sweet Treats
You don’t need a special occasion to visit. There’s a wide choice of cupcakes in lots of flavours, including seasonal options, at around £2.49 to £2.99 each, and cake slices are £3.99. The counter also offers brownies, cookies and biscuits, loaf cakes, mini cheesecakes and cake panna cotta, so there’s something for everyone. Party boxes start from £14.99, which makes them a good option for children’s parties, office treats or bringing something along when you visit friends. There are savoury “Hot Eats” bakes as well, if you’d like something to go with your sweet treat.
4. Vegan, Gluten-Free and Eggless Options
Cakes & Bakes caters for a range of dietary needs, which makes it easier to find a cake that everyone at the party can enjoy. The menu includes vegan cakes, gluten-free cakes and a selection of eggless cakes, and some of the savoury bakes are vegan too. For anyone with allergies, the brand publishes full ingredients and allergen information on its website, so you can check before you order. If you’re unsure, the team in store can help, and it’s worth mentioning any requirements when ordering a celebration cake so they can point you to the right options.
5. Same-Day Delivery and Click & Collect
