Welcome to Cakes Direct from The Lodge!


Paul

We have been baking the fruit cakes for ten years now and mastered the Yorkshire Parkin back in 2012. The parkin was inspired by my Father-in-law's quest to buy traditional Homemade Yorkshire Parkin that was as oaty and moist as his mother used to bake. We have successfully used her recipe (dating back to the early 1900's) to create a firm favourite!
Annette started the business back in 2012, but now Paul has taken over baking responsibilities and has added a range of chocolate products that are gaining popularity.


Latest News


Well! It's springtime again! Baking has already started for my 2024 shows, that start in April at Newcastle Racecourse.

Do check out the new events, particularly the new show at York Racecourse in September, organised by Dippy Designs. Unfortunately, I will be attending my nephew's wedding, which means I can't do the Congleton event this year.

See you soon!
