A new cake shop has recently opened in Sutton Coldfield, bringing a taste of the Mediterranean to the heart of Birmingham. Wilton Patisserie, which originated in Cyprus in 1986, has expanded to its seventh location, with five others in Cyprus and one in North London. The owner, Andy Georgiou, has always had a passion for the Midlands and saw a gap in the market for a patisserie in Sutton Coldfield.
The shop offers a wide variety of sweet and savory treats, including traditional Cypriot delicacies as well as more conventional cakes. One of the shop’s best-sellers, the Best of Both cake, was created after a couple had a disagreement in the London shop. The cake combines Vanilla and Strawberry on one side with Chocolatina on the other, resulting in a unique and popular treat.
Andy Georgiou takes great pride in the quality of his cakes, ensuring that each one meets his high standards. He emphasizes the importance of using local ingredients to maintain the authenticity of the recipes while adapting to the different regions. Creating a new cake can take several months of testing and refining to meet Andy’s exacting standards.
In addition to the cafe business, Wilton Patisserie also caters to weddings and events, offering bespoke cakes for special occasions. Despite some parking challenges outside the shop, Andy remains committed to providing exceptional service to the people of Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham.
When asked why he chose Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham for his new shop, Andy expressed his admiration for the local community, describing them as down-to-earth and hospitable. Opening a shop in Sutton Coldfield has been a dream of his since 2014, and he is grateful for the opportunity to share his passion for baking with the people of the Midlands.
Overall, Wilton Patisserie in Sutton Coldfield is not just a cake shop, but a labor of love for Andy Georgiou and his family. The dedication to quality, authenticity, and customer satisfaction shines through in every cake and treat they offer.
