Cake Boy

Amazing cake selections, really nice seating area and friendly staff. If you fancy some indulgence and a relaxing atmosphere then I would make a special trip to cake boy!

Tried their lemon cupcake – greater attention is placed on the format rather than on the content of their cakes. Not so fan of cupcakes but the ones I tried at Harvey Nichols and Fortum are definitely better.
I like their espresso; it has a nice after-​taste.
Music is very good and service attentive.

Beautiful Cakes!
This is a gourmet bakery. I actually think that the website does not do this business justice. The cakes are truly amazing. We’ve ordered them for birthdays and anniversaries. The cakes are decorated with fresh fruit and layers of architecturally designed chocolate. My favorite was the white mousse cake. They take special orders — if you need it to be egg free for example. Be sure to ask for the extravagant decoration on the top — because one time we didn’t get it. But when we said something they immediately went back in and make the decorations fabulous.
Five stars! Excellent quality for the price.

This is Eric Lanlard’s «cake emporium» with an incorporated cookery school. Fitted out to very high specifications and is certainly a high class joint. Eric can be seen in the shop from time to time! (He was there when I went last weekend and he is exactly as you see him on TV). A bit of a trek to get to Battersea Reach, I must admit. One has to want to go there to go there, if you see what I mean.
Visually glorious selection of cakes and some savory options. To be honest, I thought my cake, a pistachio powder dusted fresh cream sponge topped with fresh berries, tasted a bit bland. It was not cheap!
Service was a little amateur but genuinely attentive. All in all, a nice place to spend a while away from the madness that is London.
Merchandising within the shop is interesting. Apart from cakes, gift and skin care items are on offer. Some even displayed in and amongst the cakes displays? (Saw pots of hand cream placed within the cakes display) Not sure if that struck the right note retail strategy-​wise. I would have liked to see more cakes/​bakewares first because they really excite my senses coming to a specialist patisserie. The gift items are supplemental and need to be merchandised separately and carefully.
Prices for the cookery school are not for the faint hearted! A half day chocolate course comes in at just under £100 and a full day baking course costs £250. However students get to take the things they make home with them and a lunch is included in the price.
