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.
The Cake Shop is a great place to buy finishing touches for your cakes. They make some amazing decoartions out of icing that can really personalise and complete a cake.
They also have cakes for sale, however they are really quite costly, and so it is much cheaper to bake your own cake and then just buy the decorations from here.
They also sell cake boards and tins.
You can see the staff at work which is fascinating to watch- the level of details is amazing.
this place does the best cakes in Oxford
the art they put in to them is amazing they sell selections of mini cakes and also lots of things to make your own cakes!
they have large section at the front of the shop that sells ready made icing decorations such as people cats fruit bows and ribbons!
and they display lovely cakes in the window!
This Cake making shop has a Large Window at one end where you can stand and see people making and decorating the cakes they sell. Small crowds often gather as their staff demonstrates intricate sugar craft techniques. As well as the opportunity to order bespoke celebration cakes, there are more basic cakes and sugar craft items for sale. One of the largest stores inside Oxfords covered market.
Wonderful service from The Cake Shop after a local bakery let us down in last few days.
Our order was executed so professionally and delivered with time to spare.
My twin and I celebrated 80 years and we’re still on the same page and smiling, more so as the cake fulfilled both our wishes. Elegant, and delicious. Absolutely recommend!
Nice looking shop. We bought a bag of vanilla sponge cake for £2. It was very good. Will come back to the shop again on our visit to Oxford in future.

The Cake Shop Oxford made the cake for our wedding back in June 2022 and it was absolutely perfect! We knew the taste would be incredible as we've been eating their products for years (mostly the bags of cake off-cuts they do from when we were poor students!), and we were not disappointed - we had four tiers with different flavours for each! They worked with us to create an incredibly personalised and extremely detailed design, right down to the bride and groom figures on top (they got us to send through pictures of our actual outfits for the wedding so that they could replicate these and so many of our guests commented on how special this was!). After the wedding I was able to preserve a few of the sugar paste decorations from the cake (see picture below) as they were too beautiful to not keep, and we now have them as a very special memory. Price-wise, I also found them to be very good value compared to other quotes I received.
Thank you so much again - we still have two slices in our freezer that we're saving for a special occasion!
We had a cake made for my Son's Birthday and took along 4 images of a hot rod car from his favourite TV show.
The detail on the cake is amazing and made quite an impression on the night with many asking where it was made and photos being taken.
Would recommend this shop if you're looking for something a little more unique.
Our wedding cake turned out incredible! We were super happy with it and they were able to accommodate our gluten free and dairy free needs. Highly recommended!
The cakes from here are exceptionally good. They create different designs throughout the year and will create - on site and in front of customers - pretty much any design you need. Both my partner and myself enjoy having there cakes for celebrations and would reccomend to anyone and everyone
Thank you to the cake shop and in particular Jenny who listened and understood what we wanted and absolutely nailed it. I would definitely recommend the cake shop Oxford for any occasion cakes. We have had a few in the family and all have been brilliant. Thank you

We (Sage Songbird Designs) met the Cake Shop team at Voco Oxford Thames Wedding Fair. They were very friendly and we tried some of their cakes which were delicious. We'd thoroughly recommend them for wedding cakes.
We knew we wanted our cake from The Cake Shop as we had previously had an amazing 60th birthday cake from them. We had a meeting with them to discuss the particulars of what we wanted, where they gave great advice about sizes, type of cake and decorations etc. We had the most beautiful sugar flowers made. They had never made alstroemeria flowers before, so they trialled it and kept us up to date with its progress. The flowers were so lifelike, our florist was comparing the real flowers to them as it was so impressive. All our guests loved the cake and eating it too! Thank you!
Many thanks to Patrick and the staff in supplying the cake for our celebrations of the anniversary of the birth of the founder of Bentley. We will have no hesitation in using the skills available at the Cake Shop for future celebrations! Many thanks from the Bentley Drivers Club.
