Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on these forecasts and together with the support of its holding company the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future, and hence they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Following a successful 2023, the Company had a successful 2024 with sales growing by 5.22% to £26,168,834, gross profit increasing to 62.3%, and pre-tax profits almost tripling to £2,107,932.”
• “The Company's continued growth reflects its reputation for providing premium quality celebration cakes and cupcakes through its high-profile stores and its strong online platform. The business has also seen growth in its "mailed" business, principally brownies and following on from the introduction of mailed cupcakes we are now seeing further success with mailed cakes.”
• “The Company continued the in-house development of its new online web site, based on a "Shopify" platform to replace its existing hosted platform, which is expected to go live in Q1 2025. No amortisation was provided in the current year.”
