Matt and Elaine offer freshly made cakes, desserts and afternoon teas
A couple who didn't want to cut off their kids' cake supply have reopened their 'better than the Ritz' bakery as a cafe selling New York-inspired afternoon teas.
But soon their family home became a 24-hour bakehouse and Matt and Elaine decided to take the plunge and open their own premises in 2009. Cuthbert's, on Mount Pleasant became hugely popular and was even hailed as "better than the Ritz".Cuthbert's manager Timiebi Ebuwei said: "It's quite unique, people love our afternoon teas - loads come in who've been to the Ritz and say ours is better. They also compare it to Bettys, they all say it's better.
Elaine, who now lives in New Brighton, told the ECHO: "It's crazy how much you miss something once you don’t have it. Cuthbert's Bakery has been our life for the past 15 years and our two young sons also found it difficult to re-adjust to not having a 24-hour cake supply available, we really did miss having our bakery."
Running a similar style café to the original Cuthbert's, there will be plenty of home made choices on offer. Elaine said: "People think we are crazy, but I also think that a coffee and slice of cake is still an affordable indulgence when people have less disposable income."
