Gāya Bakery

A flawless 5.0 rating across 137 reviews says a great deal about this Putney bakery's way with cake. Gāya's specialism is the classic layer cake — Victoria sponge, zesty lemon, chocolate fudge and the more adventurous pistachio, cardamom and cherry — alongside cupcakes including a vegan orange and almond option and bespoke creations for celebrations. Order before the 1pm cut-off and your cake can be delivered next day to most London postcodes, with the bakery itself open Tuesday to Sunday.
