Our Story
There will be cake
Hulme Cafe Opens
I never intended it to be a cafe, it just kind of happened. After a year catering as festivals it had come to the end of season and I had just taken on a permanent space as a prep kitchen, after I had outgrown my house. It started off as a Vegan Ice Cream, Cake and Coffee Shop; to help with the rent during the winter, we where already supplying cakes and catering at festivals. There was big demand for a menu, so we decided to expand and took on our quirky and popular shipping container, so we had a dining room.

All good things
Cafe Closes
After 4 lovely years it was no longer making enough money to keep it open and we sadly had to close the doors in December 2017.

Short and sweet
Rockers
A few days after announcing we where closing, Kathy asked if we would like to open a cake shop; inside her shop, Rockers, in the Northern Quarter. Which we did, in February 2018, and we closed 1st September 2018 for the same reason we closed the cafe. I took the winter off and the following year spent the summer working the festival circuit.

A new beginning
Cake Delivery
When the pandemic started, I began making a weekly cake box, that I delivered every Saturday throughout lockdown. This is where Teatime really took off, some weeks I was delivering over 100 boxes a week!

At a stall near you
Markets
After lockdown ended cake box sales slumped and it was then I decided to bring my cakes to the markets instead, and I guess, well, here we are now. We trade at 7 different makers markets in Manchester every month, you can find us at a few festivals still in the summer and I make cakes to order!
