What We Bake
Three ways to work with us
Wedding Cakes
Our flagship work — bespoke tiered cakes designed around your day, from intimate two-tiers to full showstoppers.
Celebration Cakes
Birthdays, retirements, christenings and everything worth marking with a cake designed just for you.
Wholesale & Frozen Desserts
Supplying local venues and cafés with frozen desserts and wholesale bakes, made to the same standard.
Ten Years in the Making
A trademarked name, built one cake at a time
The Black Rat Cakery® has been baking bespoke wedding, celebration and wholesale cakes from Hedge End since 2016 — long enough to register the name as a trademark, and to build a decade of referral-driven, word-of-mouth work.
Every commission is designed around the couple or client in front of us: florals, flavours and finishes are chosen to suit the day, not pulled from a catalogue.
