A cake shop is a retail business specialising in cakes. It is the English culture equivalent to a French pâtisserie.
Cake shops may also sell equipment and supplies for home cake baking, especially for cake decorating, but not all do this. Another common but not universal sideline is special orders such as wedding cakes and elaborate birthday cakes.
