Who we Are

The Cake Root company, established by sisters Jane Slater and Fiona Woodcock, produces cakes based on root vegetable ingredients.

"I am incredibly passionate about our recipes, as well as using high quality regional food produce we really enjoy experimenting with flavours and our customers tell us they love the natural sweetness of our cakes. They are made from honest, healthy ingredients derived from farm businesses across the North East" (Jane)

 Now let us tell you a bit about ourselves…

Jane (being a glutten for punishment) has recently taken over the running of the business .  In her farm house kitchen she creates the magical taste explosions of the Chocolate and Beetroot and Sweetpotato with Coconut and Honey cake, the gorgeous Parsnip with Lime and Ginger and Carrot with Orange and Walnut cakes and a new addition to the family Crunchy Courgette Pistachio and Lemon cake . Being a female Jane is spectacularly multi-talented and is able to balance the demands of the kitchen with  working part time as an Occupational Therapist.

Fiona A.K.A. cinderella  is spending most of her time  baking  in her farmhouse kitchen inventing new flavours for our cakes she is also kept busy with running her holiday cottage business and training  her horses.

The newest recruit to the team is Jane's daughter Hannah who has come on board to help with the marketing of The Cake Root. Hannah accepted the challenge as she was led to believe she would be provided with copious amounts of cake however having tried to squeeze herself into her summer clothes she now realises quite so many cakes may not have been a good idea!!
