Remember strawberries and cream lollies? Or that first lick of strawberry ice cream at the Royal Show? Our new Merry Berry Christmas Cake brings a little of that childhood happiness to the Christmas table, with a festive finish worth gathering around.

Pretty in pink and made for sharing, it’s the newest addition to Shingle Inn’s Christmas bakery range. And with celebration season filling up fast, we think you’ll find plenty of reasons for a slice.

Meet your new festive favourite

There’s something lovely about a cake that looks just as good on the table as it tastes on your fork.

Our Merry Berry Christmas Cake brings together layers of soft strawberry sponge, berry jam and creamy icing, finished with white chocolate Chantilly cream and a sprinkling of berries.

With its soft pink icing, swirls of cream and little pops of berry red, it adds a playful touch to the traditional Christmas spread. Think festive, with a strawberry twist.

Make a little room for a Christmas catch-up

Between shopping lists, end-of-year events and finding a present for the person who insists they need nothing, December can get a little busy.

Our suggestion? Put a cake break on the list.

Meet a friend at Shingle Inn and enjoy a slice with your favourite barista-made coffee. A cappuccino or flat white is a lovely companion to the creamy strawberry layers, while a pot of tea gives you every reason to settle in for a proper catch-up.

It’s also a sweet way to finish lunch or turn a quick shopping stop into something a little more festive. Bags down, forks ready.

A whole cake for celebration season

Some occasions call for more than a slice. Bring a whole Merry Berry Christmas Cake to a family gathering, make it the centrepiece of your Christmas dessert table or share it with the team for an end-of-year afternoon tea.

Hosting friends? Bring out the cake, put the kettle on and let everyone choose their slice. For a simple festive table, take inspiration from its pink, white and berry-red colours, with ribbon-tied napkins and your favourite cake stand

It’s a cheerful choice for a December birthday, too. Because a birthday during Christmas season still deserves its own cake moment.

Start a new Christmas tradition

Perhaps your family always gathers for Christmas pudding. Perhaps there’s a fruit cake recipe that makes an appearance every year. There’s room for those favourites and something new.

Our Merry Berry Christmas Cake is made for the strawberry lovers, the cream enthusiasts and anyone who likes their festive celebrations with a splash of pink.

Make it your annual Christmas shopping treat, bring it along to your friends’ festive lunch or share a slice with someone you’ve been meaning to catch up with all year.

The best traditions often start with, “Shall we do this again?”

Limited time only

Like Christmas itself, our Merry Berry Christmas Cake is here for a limited time only.

Thank you for helping us support families in need this Christmas. Together, we can make a real difference in our community.

A thoughtful thank-you, a favourite family dessert, a catch-up before the year slips away. Christmas is full of little moments worth making special.

Our Christmas collection brings together the handmade treats you look forward to each year, plus some new favourites to discover. Whether you’re choosing gifts for teachers and colleagues or planning something sweet for your festive table, get comfortable and find a little inspiration.

Cakes & Puddings for Celebration Season

There’s something lovely about arriving with dessert, especially when it gives everyone a reason to linger.

Our NEW Merry Berry Christmas Cake brings a playful strawberries-and-cream twist to the table. Layers of soft strawberry sponge, berry jam and creamy icing are finished with white chocolate Chantilly cream and a sprinkling of berries. It’s a cheerful centrepiece for end-of-year lunches, December birthdays and Christmas gatherings.

For a taste of tradition, our Christmas Fruit Cakes are made with premium fruits soaked in brandy and rum for three months, then carefully baked and matured. Choose from mini and regular cakes with a range of icing finishes, perfect for gifting or sharing over a pot of tea.

Pudding lovers have something new to discover, too. Our NEW White Chocolate & Ginger Pudding combines caramelised white chocolate with candied ginger for a sweet, gently spiced finish. Alongside it, our Traditional Christmas Pudding brings the familiar richness of fruit, brandy, rum, treacle and spices.

Festive Favourites made with Gluten-Free Ingredients

This year’s collection has some lovely additions made with gluten-free ingredients.

Our NEW Orange & Cranberry Crowns bring bright citrus flavour and festive cranberry notes to your next coffee catch-up. For a little gift with plenty of character, our NEW Chocolate Pudding Biscuits are dipped in white chocolate and finished with fondant holly.

There’s also our NEW Mini Fruit Cake with Holly, joining our Regular Un-iced Fruit Cake and Fruit Mince Tarts. Choose a favourite for afternoon tea or put together a thoughtful selection for someone special.

Pies & Slices for Sharing

Some of the best Christmas catch-ups start with a simple “Are you free for coffee?”

Make time for a Fruit Mince Pie and your favourite hot drink in-store, or take a gift box along when you visit friends.

Our Christmas Bites make a lovely addition to office morning teas and festive sharing plates. Discover NEW Dubai Chocolate, featuring chocolate, pistachio and crisp Kataifi pastry, and NEW White Christmas, a creamy, crunchy white chocolate bite filled with apricots, sultanas and cranberries. Alongside them, Choc Cherry pairs rich dark chocolate with sweet cherry coconut. Put out a selection and see which flavour everyone reaches for first.

Christmas Biscuits & Little Thank-Yous

For the teacher who’s encouraged them, the colleague who’s helped you through and the neighbour who always lends a hand, a small gesture can say so much.

Our handmade Snowman Biscuits, Christmas Tree Biscuits, Gingerbread Men and Choc-Dipped Shortbread bring a little fun to Christmas gifting.

Let the children choose a character for their teacher, add a handwritten note or take a box to share in the staffroom. It’s a simple, personal way to say, “Thank you for everything this year.”

A Thoughtful Finishing Touch

Our NEW Reusable Pudding Gift Bag adds a playful touch to your present. It folds out into a handy shopping bag, then tucks neatly back into its pudding-shaped pouch.

Or choose a Shingle Inn Commemorative Tin for a keepsake they can use long after the Christmas treats have disappeared.

Make Time for Your Christmas Traditions

Since our first Christmas range in 1937, Shingle Inn’s handmade bakery favourites have been part of festive tables and thoughtful gifts across generations.

Perhaps your tradition is sharing fruit cake with family, meeting a friend for a festive coffee or choosing something sweet for the people who’ve made your year brighter.

Whatever Christmas looks like for you, we’d love to be a little part of it.

Our collection is available for a limited time. Explore the Christmas online shop and arrange Click & Collect from your selected store, so there’s one less thing to think about when the festive calendar fills up.
