When Sweet House Bakery sold 2,000 cakes on opening day it wasn't a short-lived fad. Business for the shop in Arnold has just got better and better since the launch in October.
Five months on baker Steffanie Woodhouse and partner Mat Blood, who helps out in the shop, in Coppice Road, are about to expand, opening a new bakery and second shop selling mouth-watering chocolate cakes. The expansion will allow the business to triple, if not quadruple, production. "It's a huge unit," said Steffanie, who originally started baking at home as a hobby.
Steffanie said the kitchen behind the shop can no longer keep up with demand. Sweet House Bakery will be expanding to a new industrial-scale kitchen in Colwick but for now the exact location is under wraps. Customers will also be able to buy cakes from there..
