A boutique in a home kitchen

Bakelyne is a registered home bakery in Ashton-under-Lyne. Every order is baked fresh for its day — no shelves, no leftovers, nothing mass-made.

One bake at a time, designed with you: your colours, your flavours, your occasion. That's the whole idea.

Customers come to us from across Tameside — Stalybridge, Dukinfield, Droylsden, Denton, Mossley and Oldham — and everything is collected from Ashton-under-Lyne, boxed and ready for the day.

Design your cake before you enquire

Not sure what you want yet? Sketch it in our online cake studio — choose tiers, shape, colours and finish, and watch the cake redraw as you go.

You'll see a live starting-price estimate while you play, and when it looks right you can send the whole design straight to the baker with your enquiry.

Ordering, in plain terms

How far ahead should I order?

As early as you can — two to three weeks is comfortable for most cakes, and wedding cakes deserve a couple of months. Short notice? Ask anyway; if the diary allows, we'll make it work.

How much does a cake cost?

Our price list has a starting price for every size — a 6" celebration cake begins at £45, deliberately under the going rate around Tameside. The final figure depends on the detail in your design, so tell us your budget and we'll design to it honestly: we'd rather scale a design to fit than surprise you.

Do you deliver?

Every order is collected from Ashton-under-Lyne (OL6) — we don't deliver. We'll agree a collection time with you when the order is confirmed, and everything is boxed and packed so it travels home safely.

Can you cater for allergies?

Always tell us about allergies before ordering. Our home kitchen regularly handles gluten, eggs, milk and nuts — macarons are made with almonds — so we can't guarantee trace-free bakes. See our allergen information.

How do I confirm an order?

Once you're happy with the design and quote, we agree the date and confirm your booking — nothing is baked or promised until you've said yes to the final plan.
