CoGoGo is delighted to present to the market Gemma’s Crafty Cakes, a much loved and enjoyed community business established in the area by our client 8 years ago.
Gemma’s Crafty Cakes is run solely by our client who makes personalised celebration cakes to order as well as offering cake making/biscuit making courses for classes up to 10 people.
The cake making classes are particularly popular for the key dates throughout the year such as Valentines, Mother’s day, Halloween, Easter and Christmas. Aa classes are held in the rear part of the shop and can comfortably cater for groups of up to 10.
Classes offered include - cake baking, cake decorating, biscuit & brownie baking.
Our client currently makes between 10-15 cakes per week (for birthdays & celebrations) and between 1-2 wedding cakes per month.
Following the closure of the bakery business next door, people have been asking for a number of bakery products. Our client has recently tested selling a number of tray slices and sausage rolls which have been selling out quickly!
We believe any new owner will have the ability to not only walk into a successful cake making business but also capitalise on the demand for freshly made bakery products.
There is no cafe/coffee shop along this busy parade, there is both space internally and on the front pavement area for customer seating. Making this already desirable business opportunity …..even more desirable!
Both the retail area and rear preparation areas are decorated to a very high standard with an excellent included list of assets.
We advise any new owner to add a new website as well as update the social media sites.
As you can see in the business photos attached, any new owner would spend in the region of £20,000 to create such a stunning unit. Our client is looking for a quick sale which will not only include the listed equipment, but the current goodwill also as well as the potential to add a further bakery/coffee shop business to the unit.
