Telford cake shop applies for licence for sale of alcohol and playing recorded music

A bakery and tea room in Telford has applied for a licence to cover the sale of alcohol and recorded music.

Celebration cake maker Sweet Little Things recently moved to new premises at Madeley Malls, in Madeley, with backing from a council Pride in Our High Street fund.

Alcohol licences are needed to cover the sale of products with more than 0.5 per cent alcohol by volume, or miniature liquor bottles provided on cakes for the customer to keep or consume.

The business has been hailed as the first of its kind to open on the high street in Madeley – offering homemade cakes, a homely place to sit and eat and takeaway drinks and lunches.

Bespoke cakes can also be ordered.

The application, currently out for public consultation by Telford & Wrekin Council, would permit the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises, and alcohol to be served in and on celebration cakes.

People who want to see the application should make an appointment to see it in person at Darby House, Lawn Central, Telford, by emailing [email protected].

The council says any person wishing to make representations may do so in writing to the Licensing Authority no later than November 19.
