New cake shed has opened in Little Dawley

Cake sheds for the uninitiated are unmanned micro-cake shops, often housed in pink wooden cupboards outside the homes of bakers.

You turn up, make your choice (or choices!), pay using the honesty box or by card payment, and then enjoy your cakes.

The latest one ‘Kimmies Cake Shed’ was opened today by Kim Walton, in Little Dawley, and I went along to see what it was all about.

I arrived bang on noon, the time it was opening, only to see that a queue had already formed.

Kim started baking seven years ago and does many events around Telford with her cake gazebo, including the Balloon Fiesta at the town park, as well as baking celebration cakes to order.

“People were asking for cakes all the time and wanting to collect” she told me. “A cake shed seemed like a good idea.”

The bright pink cake shed is stocked with 200 Rocky Roads, Brownies and Flapjacks, School Cakes and lots more.  Kim also has more in reserve.

Other people thought so too.  “It’s just going to make me fat, I only live a few doors away.” Said Wendy, no stranger to Kim’s bakes.

I asked for a recommendation: “Pink sponge, cornflake cakes, chocolate concrete slab, brownies, but they are all delicious.”

The cake shed is open from Friday morning, Sat and until sold out on Sundays.  Message Kim for the post code: https://www.facebook.com/share/172uhiwdqo/
