cakery

Confection retail store

A cakery is a bakery specializing in cakes—a shop where cakes are made and sold.

The word follows the pattern of bakery and creamery, though it's less established: The neighborhood cakery does custom wedding cakes.

Some cakeries also serve coffee and operate as cafés.
