A fine array of cakes and pies can be found inside served by gentile old ladies who could pass for characters in an Ealing Comedy. You can find proper big cakes here too, though they are probably more suited to big occasions and events and not just to take down to the beach and stuff your face in the shelter of a sand dune. Go for the sausage rolls or iced buns for that.

I want to meet this butler and sit in his kitchen listening to him tell me amusing stories while he bakes breads--ala Jeeves and Wooster. Anyway, aside from a great name, this bakery also offers great tasty food. They have some of the nicest home baked cakes, pastries, etc that I've seen for sale in similar bakeries. I always prefer independent, small town bakeries and feel that they deserve my support, but this one is especially nice. I want to eat it up.

I've been going to this bakery since it opened as butlers bakery , must be about 6 years now , and…read morewhat a great bakery it is the food is always up to perfect standards and everything ive had I could never complain about , the shop is always clean and always has a member of staff that makes you smile ,the cakes are always fresh and so appetising !

I am lucky living around the corner having such a nice bakery to shop in .

Phil Manion is well established bakery which I believe sells the best custard tarts in Liverpool!…read more Not only are their tarts delicious but their pies and sausage rolls are scrumptious, with a crispy and puffy pastry for you to bite into a warm and succulent inside. They also sell hand-made sandwiches and barms where you can pick whatever filling you wish but they are a little pricier and not as good as their bakery. However, if you're on a diet, this will suit you. Other prices are generally cheap and worth the money you pay. Everything is home made at the shop courtesy of a long and successful running business. I hope Phil Manion continues the way it is for many years or even decades to come because it has that uniqueness you won't find anywhere else.

Cakes galore!! I want more, more and yet more. I remember my first ever baked cake, it was a…read moreprofound moment when I broke my cake cherry. It was warm and filled with soft creamy goodness, it just melted in the mouth and the pleasure was mind blaaaaaaaaasting as Russell Peters would say. Ever since that moment I have longed to recreate that feeling of overwhelming pleasure. You see life is full of these pleasures, you just have to search for them. Far too often we settle for... "that'll do". Well I say NO!!!!!! I shall not settle, I shall continue on my merry journey to explore new horizons, to recreate over and over again new feelings and moments of profundity. To continue breaking cherries left right centre. Ashley's cakes will provide, should you wish with opportunities to discover with every birthday or any other occasion a chance to taste something different. Now I hate to break it to ya mi gente (My people en espanol) apart from the decorative pieces and a few other givens the inspiration might not come from here. It may rekindle old tastetastic flames but something new? Probably not. But hey, such is life, if profound moments came like road mileage you may not appreciate them as much. Life is a balance and sometimes a rekindling can do the job just as much as breaking a cherry. You guys are getting this aren't you???!! Rekindling as in going over things you may have tasted before as in a cream vanilla cake. Breaking your cherry as in first time ever you had a dime bar!! That kinda thing kapiche!!? .........Alright alright...keep your panties on ...just checking for those of you who are speed challenged!! Anytothehow this place will decorate ya fluffy baked cakes to perfection should you decide to choose their services. Of course the place will only be useful for special occasions. Unless!!!!!! Would you order a cake for the hell of it? Perhaps labelled( instead of your bog standard happy birthday cheryl..... ) "Dont just sit there EAT ME!!!!!!!!!!" No? you would'nt?? Neither would I....maybe I should!! hmmm !!!!! What's their number??

Naked Cake is oh so very cool and will truly be able to create any kind of cake that you want. The…read morerange of cakes that they offer is pretty impressive, if you don't believe me then check out their shop in Aintree, where they have a range of cakes on display. But the main point to get from Naked Cake is that it is totally up to you to design your cake, no one cake is similar, whether it is birthday and novelty cakes, anniversary and engagement, wedding, christening, communion and corporate cakes. They are really flexible and let you bring in what you want to put on the cake but they do fab figures and flowers so I'd just let them do what they do best.

In a small rectangular space within the industrial environs of the Baltic triangle, Sam and Grace Henley offer a range of artisan breads made with organic Shipton Mill flour, counter top French, Italian and Spanish pastries, one of the nicest granolas I've ever tasted (with banana and yoghurt) and breakfast and lunchtime sandwiches. Two varieties of Has Been coffee are available by the pot and so seriously does this place take its brewing method that the coffee even comes with a timer!

Satterthwaites was founded one hundred years ago in Liverpool, it has remained a Liverpool based store but popularity has encouraged growth in the area and I think there are around six further stores, four in the Crosby/ Waterloo area. Satterthwaites are extremely popular in the area and well known amongst non-locals too! The food is extremely good, and of course the type of food sold- stodgy savouries: pies; pasties; sausage rolls, and cakes- is irresitable and undeniably popular generally, however I think the popularity of this store is through the unmistakeable element of tradition Satterthwaites has managed to preserve; the cakes are classics: bavarian slices, carrot cakes, meringues, while the old fashioned uniforms are unique to Satterthwaites: hair nets and hats are worn as well as gloves which is nice to see. The staff are always very sociable and friendly and the food is really satisfying: tasty, filling, and reasonably priced. Satterthwaites offer catering services also: finger buffets, cake selections and even fruit platters. This is a popular caterers in the area hired for weddings and all sorts of parties.

They sell an excellent range of foods such as cakes, pies, sausage rolls, pasties, sandwiches, wraps and baguettes. Everything is freshly made and delicious and I have never been less than delighted with my purchases from Satterthwaites. The prices are excellent, as a previous reviewer said starting from £1.99 for a basic meal deal. The staff are dressed in old fashioned uniforms with hairnets, and use gloves when preparing your order. They are very friendly and chatty and make you feel very welcome.

I suppose I've become a bit jaded after living here for two years, so when I see little specks of that England I once fell in love with, I am reminded that the country does still have some old fashioned charm, and has not gone completely to the dogs ... yet. ;) This bakery makes amazing cakes and pastries. They always have a delectable display in the front window to tempt people walking by, and everything looks amazing. The staff here are very friendly, and prices are great. I definitely want to go back here to get some pastries or cakes here for my next party.
