Handmade Cakes & Bakes in East Riding
White Cherry Bakery was founded by Helen Brown, a passionate baker with a lifelong dedication to creating handmade cakes and treats. Our bakery operates from a converted garden cabin in Pocklington, where we produce a wide range of cakes, cupcakes, and baked goods using locally sourced ingredients. We prioritise quality by partnering with regional suppliers like Elliotts Eggs and Bradshaws Flour to ensure exceptional taste and freshness. Every product is made to order in small batches, allowing us to maintain the homemade touch that defines our brand. With over a decade of experience in catering and hospitality, Helen has built a business that combines traditional baking techniques with modern flavours.We specialise in supplying cafes and farm shops across East Riding of Yorkshire, offering both standard and customised orders. Our commitment to supporting local producers extends to our packaging and delivery practices, which aim to minimise environmental impact. Customers can choose from classic sponge cakes, specialty cupcakes, and seasonal items, all crafted with the same attention to detail. The bakery name was inspired by a white cherry blossom tree visible from our kitchen, symbolising our connection to nature and local heritage. Through consistent quality and personal service, we aim to become Yorkshire's most-loved independent bakery.
