The Famous Banbury Cake Shop.

For centuries Banbury, England has been known for its famous Banbury Cakes since 1638 which are sugared puff pastry filled with currents and dried fruit that nobody else wants to deal with.


The last owner of this ORIGINAL Banbury cake shop (then in a rundown condition), instead of fixing it up, one early Sunday morning in 1969, leveled this fine old registered building. After the dust settled, legal and otherwise, he built a brick boxy building renting it to shops.


This model was designed entirely from old pictures and articles and is included in the collection to honor it's special place in Banbury's history.

 


What people say...
Dear Sirs, While searching the web for references to Banbury Cakes I was interested to find your page relating to the card model of the Original Cake Shop. However, I was rather disturbed to read your description of the ingredients of the Banbury Cake- "dried fruit that nobody else wants to deal with". I would like to assure you that only the finest ingredients are used in the making of Brown's Original Banbury Cakes. In fact, Brown's Original Banbury Cakes were included in The Independants "The 50 best British foods" last Saturday. The Sunday Telegraph is also due to report on them in the near future. My fellow director, Philip Brown, and his family were associated with the Original Cake Shop from 1818 until circumstances forced them to sell in 1967. The family were distraught to learn of the plan to demolish the building and fought hard to try and save it. But as you comment, the developer was unscrupulous and went ahead with his plan despite the controversy. You can learn more about the history of the shop on http://www.banburycakes.co.uk. (yum!) I intend to develop the site and add photos and more informationin the near future. Yours faithfully, Nick Faulkner Director
