Something celestial is happening this weekend, and no, it’s not just the sugar rush from our cakes. A blood moon will rise in the sky on Sunday, 7 September, turning the full moon a dramatic shade of red. For the first time in the UK since 2022, we’ll get a lunar eclipse spectacle… the moon slipping into the earth’s shadow and glowing like a cosmic cherry atop the night sky.
And here at the coffee shop, we’ve got a lineup of cakes that are just as mesmerising… minus the astronomical radiation (we checked).
🍎 Carolyn’s Apple & Cinnamon Cake – One bite, and you’ll feel like you’re orbiting a delicious, cinnamony planet.
🥕 Nicki’s Carrot Cake – Deep, rich, and slightly mysterious… like the moon just before it turns that haunting shade of crimson.
🍒 Nicki’s Bakewell Loaf – Jammy, almondy, and glowing with sweetness… like a slice of the blood moon itself, baked into loaf form.
🍊 Diane’s Orange & Coconut Cake (GF) – A gluten-free gem that’s as bright as the moon when it starts its shadowy descent… tangy, zesty, and impossible to resist.
☕ Diane’s Coffee & Walnut Cake – Like a slice of lunar magic: nutty, jammy, and guaranteed to make you look up at the sky.
🍋 Jackie’s Lemon Drizzle Cake – A citrusy, sunlit slice to contrast the blood moon’s dramatic reds.
🍓 Jackie’s Victoria Sandwich with Strawberries & Fresh Cream – Classic, dreamy, and a little bit heavenly… like moonlight hitting the clouds just before total eclipse.
🍫 Bee’s Chocolate Cake – Rich enough to make you forget that the Moon is slowly turning into a crimson spectacle outside.
So this weekend, while the Moon blushes red in the sky, swing by for a slice of cosmic delight. Because whether you’re a stargazer or a cake enthusiast, we’ve got the perfect treats to make your day and night… out of this world. 🌕✨
