Create delicious, professional-quality cakes with ease using our Plain Cake Mix. Developed by Sweet Success, this premium vanilla-flavoured mix is the ideal base for celebration cakes, cupcakes, traybakes, and more. Designed to save time without compromising on taste or texture, it delivers a consistent, fluffy sponge with a soft, moist crumb.
Perfect for both home bakers and professional cake decorators, our mix only requires the addition of eggs, oil and water—no extra ingredients needed. For full instructions, visit our Cake Mix Instructions page.
While cakes baked from this mix won’t be identical to our ready-made sponge cake bases—since those are baked from scratch ingredients—they’re still an excellent alternative. The texture is light, the flavour is mild vanilla, and the sponge is strong enough for carving, stacking, and decorating.
Once baked, your cake will keep well for at least two weeks if stored correctly, and it can also be frozen to extend its life further—perfect for prepping ahead of events.

Please note, orders placed after 1pm may leave us the following day, and we do not despatch orders at weekends or Bank Holidays. Our carriers count 'working days' as Monday to Friday only, orders won't usually be delivered on weekends or Bank Holidays. Allow extra time for deliveries to Scottish Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland, as these usually take at least an extra day or two to arrive.
Not sure when to order? Ideally, place your order a week before you need to use the goods - even though most 'Express' orders arrive within just 1 or 2 working days, allow extra time if you can! Our cakes have a five week shelf life from baking and won't suffer if they arrive a few days before you plan to start decorating - they'll usually have at least 3 or 4 weeks shelf life remaining when you receive them. If you have a particular day you'd prefer delivery, use the 'comment' box at checkout to let us know, but bear in mind we never 100% guarantee delivery on a specific day
