The Grown Up Cake Co brings a new kind of celebration cake to Harrogate

A new food business is bringing a different kind of celebration cake to Harrogate, with handcrafted cheese and charcuterie centrepieces designed to be shared around the table.

Founded by Emily Pulsford, The Grown Up Cake Co. creates savoury celebration cakes using carefully selected cheeses, cured meats and accompaniments.

Customers can choose their preferred ingredients, making each cake personal to their tastes and the occasion.

Emily said: “I have always loved the way good food brings people together.

"I wanted to create something that still feels special and celebratory, but for people who would choose cheese and charcuterie over a traditional cake.”

Designed to become a centrepiece in their own right, the cakes are suitable for birthdays, weddings, engagements, anniversaries, hen parties, baby showers, brunches, dinner parties, Christmas gatherings and corporate events.

Alongside the cakes, The Grown Up Cake Co. also offers supporting charcuterie boards, giving customers the option to create a larger spread for gatherings and events.

Emily added: “For me, the best occasions are the ones where people gather around a table, share great food and spend time together. That is really what The Grown Up Cake Co. is about.”

Supporting other independent businesses is also an important part of the company’s approach. Wherever possible, Emily sources meats, cheeses and other ingredients from other Yorkshire suppliers and independent producers.

Emily added: “There are so many fantastic food businesses and producers across Yorkshire, and I want to support them wherever I can.

"It means a lot to be able to create something special for our customers while also supporting other independent Yorkshire businesses.”

The Grown Up Cake Co. is now taking orders and event enquiries across Harrogate and the surrounding area.
