Cakes

Cake is the centrepiece of any occasion in which it is present–it’s the one thing that can bring a room full of strangers together faster than absolutely anything else. Especially when the cake in question is bursting with colour, indulgence, and celebration.

A display of cakes: cheesecake tarts, caramel tahini shortbreads, Sicilian lemon teacake, chocolate and rum fondant cake, semolina and rosewater cake, lemon and mascarpone cake, carrot and walnut cake and mini passion fruit meringue tarts

There’s nothing like a perfectly light sponge flavoured with spices and citrus, or a mega-crumbly icing-sugar-dusted cookie, straight out of the oven. The Ottolenghi way has always been about abundance, inclusion, and celebration. It’s the way we’ve always cooked and it’s the way we’ve always baked.

Whether you’re throwing a once-in-a-lifetime birthday party, festive gathering, wedding, anniversary, or a corporate event, we’d love to find the perfect cake, or selection of bakes, for you. No matter if it’s for twelve, fifty, or even three hundred, we promise to provide the sweet treats that’ll spark connections and create conversation. Cakes that’ll leave your guests impressed.

We can put together a surprise bundle of our smaller treats, one of each, or just a hundred flourless lemon, polenta and pistachio cakes (we wouldn’t blame you). Or, if you’re looking for something a little larger, we have full size cakes, tarts and cheesecakes, as well as our signature celebration cakes. There’s towering sponges, indulgent icing, abundance of berries and even personalised plaques.

To place an order, please contact your local Ottolenghi deli, fill out the form on this page or email catering@ottolenghi.co.uk. We’d love to chat. Please allow at least 48 hours notice for your order. Or, take a look at our menus linked above for some inspiration.

"Huge thanks to you and your team for a magnificent service, delicious fresh food, wonderful selection and variety, beautiful presentation, thorough communication and timely delivery…. we couldn’t have ask for anything more, we will be back again soon for sure!!!"
