Pick it up in Chorlton in studio hours. Tiered cakes can be brought to your venue and set up within about eight miles.

“We arrived with three blurry photos from a wedding fair. The drawing Rosie sent back beat all of them, and so did the lemon tier.”
“Ordered on a Monday for a Friday leaving do. Three flavours, one tidy box, and not a crumb left by four o’clock.”
Tom, Didsbury
Cupcake Dozen
“Pale, pretty and not too sweet. Half the photos from our daughter’s naming day are of the cake.”
Helen, Sale
Edible Flower Cake
“Collection was easy, the box was sturdy and the cake survived a car full of seven year olds.”
Priya, Chorlton
Sprinkle Drip

Yes, as a starting point for colours and mood. We then draw our own version in the Pipkin style rather than copying another baker’s work or printing characters we have no permission to use.
Everything is made in one small kitchen that handles all 14 major allergens, including gluten, eggs, milk, nuts and sesame, so we can’t call any cake allergen free. Tell us about allergies when you order: we send the full allergen list for your cake in writing before you confirm, and an allergen card goes in the box. (Sample allergen policy for this fictional studio.)
Most cakes are picked up at the studio in Chorlton. Tiered cakes can be brought to your venue and set up within about eight miles, from £15 (sample charge).
A 30% deposit secures the date once you accept the drawing and price (sample terms). It is refunded if you cancel 21 or more days before the date; after that it is kept. The rest is due 7 days before. Nothing is paid or taken on this website.
Give us a week for most cakes and up to four weeks for tiers. Saturdays in May, June and December go first.
This is a demonstration website. Pipkin Cake Studio is not a real business: calls, emails and social links don’t contact anyone, and no order is sent, stored or booked.
