Popular Bristol cake shop to open new store in shipping container

A popular cake shop in Bristol is opening its second store in the city. 

ANNA Cake Couture is due to open its new site in a shipping container on Gaol Ferry Steps in Wapping Wharf on March 13.    

The cake-making business, which opened its first store in Clifton Village 10 years ago, will take on the unit previously occupied by plant shop Bush in Cargo One. 

Speaking about the decision to bring the business to Wapping Wharf, ANNA Cake Couture founder Anna Taylor said: “As a born and bred Bristolian I'm so excited to be able to offer more of what I love to the people of Bristol.  

“Being in Wapping Wharf was such a great opportunity to make it easier for our wonderful customers to get to us, and being around some of the best food places in Bristol just makes it that much more exciting.” 

ANNA Cake Couture also shares a production kitchen with bakery Pinkmans in an industrial estate in St Philip’s and has another cake shop in Newport, Wales.

Speaking about the newest addition to the Wapping Wharf community, Stuart Hatton, managing director at Umberslade, added: “We can’t wait to welcome Anna & Felix to our independent community at Wapping Wharf. 

“It’s great to see such an iconic cakery opening up alongside the likes of all the other amazing fooderies that make up our community, and it goes without saying that everyone here is rather excited to enjoy their sweet treat!”
