It's the little known cake outlet shop that fans really, really want to keep a secret. But with rows and rows of Colin the Caterpillar cakes, Victoria sponges, mini rolls, flapjacks and other eye-popping sweet treats at bargain basement prices, it's just too good not to share.
Having heard whispers about this place on social media, we headed down to Park Cakes' Oldham Company Shop to investigate the dessert treasure trove for ourselves. And wow, were we blown away.
The outlet shop is found down a narrow side street in Oldham, behind barbed wire fences, up some steps, and past some signs saying "strictly no under 17s allowed". The smell of sweet, fresh-baked cakes from the long-established Park Cakes Factory next door should be enough to lead your nose there.
