We all need a sweet treat to perk us up sometimes. If you’re looking to spoil yourself or send a cake-themed gift to a friend or loved one you’re missing, we’ve rounded up some of the very best local bakers for you.
All of our picks this week also have options to send something to an NHS key worker or the chance to donate cakes too. Read on for more info.
