A “pandemic proof” bakery chain which sells egg-free vegetarian cakes has opened in Plymouth city centre as it expands into the South West.
Cake Box has started trading in Cornwall Street, in a unit last used by Holland and Barrett, creating 12 jobs and already selling about 200 slices of freshly made cake every day. It sells a huge range of celebration and personalised cakes, made up fresh on the premises, and all egg-free.
The store is being run by franchisee Bharat Thapa, owner of the Barbican’s Himalayan Spice restaurant, who has invested about £200,000 into the venture.
