A cake-making business has opened a new store in Basingstoke - after months of delays. 

Caker Street opened in Church Street, Basingstoke on April 1. It had hoped to open last November but was set back by problems with sourcing enough stock and equipment, and then recruitment issues. 

Caker Street is a chain, with the Basingstoke store becoming the fourth Caker Street in the UK. 

It sells an extensive sweet menu, with crepes, waffles, milkshakes, sundaes, cheesecake and cake slices.

It also makes cakes for special events such as birthdays, anniversaries and weddings amongst others.

Aisha Awan, 39, is the manager of the Basingstoke store.

Aisha said: "Our shop is new so I expect lots of people don't know we are here, ready to serve up the delicious options we have on our menu.

"It's been very exciting to serve our customers who have already been in, and we hope to see lots of returning faces.

"We have a wide variety of sweet treats and drinks on offer, so we are looking forward to members of the community giving us a try and enjoying our delicious food."

The business launched in 2015 as an online cake shop before opening its first kiosk in Westfield Mall, London, in March.

Similar to Caker Street's third store in Stockport, the Basingstoke store will also be served with a DIY sandwich bar, 16 of the country's most favourite Gelato flavours and soft beverages.

Aisha added they would be increasing their menus and options of drinks, such as coffee, in the coming months.
