A new cake shop has opened in Sherwood and the owners already have their sights set on the Victoria Centre . Cake Inn in Mansfield Road opened on Saturday, serving up fresh, eggless cakes every day of the week. Their tagline is ‘for every occasion’ and this runs true as soon as you step into the store, with square cakes, number cakes, tiered cakes and photo cakes providing customers with a sweet treat for every occasion.
Owner Reza Tavakoli, 50, and his wife have spent months preparing for the opening. He said: “Opening day was nerve-wracking for us but it did not disappoint. We opened on Saturday and the reception was overwhelming, many more people came in than we expected.
"We had a thousand sample slices so were expecting to have finished them by the afternoon or evening, but in around two to three hours they were done.” This impressive achievement on opening day is a testament to their hard work and beautiful presentation in the shop, with many cakes and slices in the fridges. The shop has a bright interior which is only elevated by the bright colours of the cakes.
Reza said: “Since opening, we have been doing everything we can to keep the fridges fully stocked, my wife is back there icing cakes now.” He explained the process behind making the eye-catching cakes, saying: “We receive the sponge and then do any customising and decorating needed in store on the day of..
. everything we sell here is so fresh that’s what sets us aside from others I believe.” A.
