🍰☕ REAL HOMEMADE CAKES. REAL INGREDIENTS. REAL TASTE. ☕🍰

Did you know that when you treat yourself to one of our delicious homemade cakes and bakes, you’re also supporting charity? 💛

That’s right — we’re a charity café, and the money you spend with us helps support the work of the Armed Forces Equine Charity. 🐴💚

Our cakes and bakes are made with real ingredients, baked with care and packed with proper homemade flavour — just the way cake should be! 😋🍰

And we couldn’t do what we do without our amazing volunteers, who give their time to help us keep the café running. 🫶

So next time you pop in for a coffee and cake, remember… your little treat is helping make a difference. 💛

☕️🍰 Come for the cake. Stay for the community. Support the charity. 🐾💚

🎉🍰 AND OUR WINNER IS… 🍰🎉

The cake gods have spoken… 👀😂

A HUGE congratulations to Marilyn McRae, who is our lucky winner of September’s Cake Giveaway! 🥳💛

Marilyn has bagged herself a homemade cake AND a drink of her choice — because quite frankly, cake without a cuppa just wouldn’t be right! ☕️🍰😋

Thank you to everyone who entered, tagged their cake-loving friends and shared the post. We’ve loved seeing all your favourite cake choices… and now we’re feeling very hungry! 😂

Well done, Marilyn — we’ll see you at the café for your well-deserved cake fix! 🧁💛

Keep your eyes peeled for next month’s giveaway… 👀🎂

🥚💛 GOOD EGGS! 💛🥚

We thought it was time to give a little shout-out to something that goes into so many of the things we make here at the Armed Forces Café… our eggs! 🥚🐔

We’re lucky to source our fresh, free-range eggs locally from Redenham Egg Hut, helping us keep things local and supporting a brilliant nearby supplier. 🌿💛

Our eggs are used in our breakfast baps 🍳🥓 and in all of our freshly homemade bakes and cakes 🎂🧁 — so they’re a pretty important part of what comes out of our kitchen!

There’s something rather lovely about knowing that the eggs in your breakfast or slice of cake have come from just down the road. 🥰

Local ingredients, homemade with love and served up at your community café. ☕️💛

🐾 Not my usual type of post this morning but I offered to help because this sweet boy deserves so much, we all fall in love every time he visits us at the cafe 🐾

💛 It’s time to help Max find his perfect forever home. 💛

Max is a gorgeous, gentle 7-year-old Anatolian Shepherd/Kangal mix, rescued from the streets of Turkey and now happily settled in foster care in Wiltshire.

He’s a big, brindle Turkish Delight who is wonderfully laid-back, affectionate and, most importantly, very lazy! 😴 He loves his food, comfy bed, garden naps and human company.

🏡 What Max is looking for:
• A calm, loving, child-free home
• Someone who understands that he needs his space respected, particularly when sleeping
• He can live as an only dog or with another calm, friendly dog
• A home where he can enjoy plenty of company, cuddles and relaxed days

🐶 Max is house-trained, walks beautifully on the lead and is great in the car. He loves going to cafés and pubs and will happily settle down while you enjoy a coffee. He enjoys walks and can go off lead in suitable areas, although he is very friendly and likes to say hello to everyone!

He lives happily with other dogs and is a polite, gentle boy who prefers dogs with good manners rather than those who rush into his face.

Max has clearly had a difficult past and can be startled by sudden movements around him when he’s resting, so he needs understanding, predictable humans who will give him the space and reassurance he deserves.

💛 The lovely bonus: His foster carer is happy to continue looking after Max for holidays in the future (for local-ish adopters), so you’ll never have to worry about kennels or leaving him with strangers.

There is absolutely no pressure to take Max — it has to be the right match for both him and his new family. He is a funny, sweet, loving boy who deserves a safe and happy forever home. 🥰

If you think Max could be your boy, or would like more information, please comment below or message me and I’ll let his current owner know.

Please share far and wide — let’s find Max his forever family. 🐾💛
