🥐 Father's day offer 🥐

This Saturday, we will bring out extra specials to celebrate the men in our lives!

I wanted to make sure I could offer as much as possible (aka pop-up) but also give you the opportunity to pre-order for the occasion (aka collection), so as a result, we will have BOTH on Saturday 20th June, but this isn't without a few caveats, so please read on to understand what exactly will happen on Saturday!

❤️ Pop-up inside Brother Thai from 9am to 11am - this is as usual on a first come first served basis, but on top of our classics (pain au choc, cinnamon buns...) we will also have the following specials:

- lemon meringue nest
- peach, mascarpone & almond danish
- coffee & walnut knot
- summer fruit croissant
- salted peanut & chocolate tartlet
- rum & vanilla cannelés
- vanilla sun buns

Please ask our staff how you should store your bakes until the next day if you're planning on giving them on the Sunday

❤️ Collection directly from our lobby from 9.30am to 10.30 am (no need to queue at the pop-up) - this will only be to collect the Father's day bundle which you will have pre-ordered , and it will consist of:

- coffee & walnut knot
- lemon meringue tartlet
- salted peanut & chocolate tartlet

Pre-orders will be limited in numbers and will go live on the website tonight 8pm (Monday 15th June).
Unfortunately you won't be able to pre-order other types of pastries but you can always grab some extras on the day at the pop-up and I will also try to have a few spares upstairs for you to purchase as you collect, but again, numbers will be limited and most of the stock will be heading off downstairs to the pop-up!

I had toyed with the idea of doing the collection on Sunday but it turned out to be not a viable option so I hope that the above is a good compromise!

Please note that presentation on the day may vary.

Looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday!

🥐 June specials 🥐

Summer calls for summery flavours!

So here is what you'll be able to find on the table at every pop-up this month, starting with the one this Saturday inside Brother Thai from 9am!

🍑 Peach, mascarpone & almond danish: peach compote, honey & candied almonds in whipped mascarpone cream, fresh peaches. I'm going to do a different presentation on this one next time as I think it can look prettier but the elements will be the same! The cream is INSANE and I ate what was left of the test one with a spoon, it was so good! The candied almonds folded in the cream give it extra crunch, simply delicious!

🍋 Lemon meringue nest: lemon curd and French meringue topping. Simple but efficient and one of the most requested flavours! What screams summer more than a zesty lemon? This is a huge favourite in our team:)

🍥 Rhubarb & white choc swirl: rhubarb and vanilla crème pat, caramelised white chocolate, rhubarb marmelade. Did I mention I love rhubarb? Because I really do, and I'll make a beeline for that one every time!

Spoiler alert, there will also be another special later on this month to celebrate Father's Day, but I'm keeping this one under wrap for now;)

Hope you're happy with that lineup!

See you soon!

Astrid ❤️

🥐 all the dates in June 🥐

See the pics for all the dates!

It's all the usual popups and collection but I might add an extra Cardiff collection if I manage to squeeze it in as I know you guys love being able to pre-order!

Behind the scenes we're adjusting to a few things and I won't lie, it's been a bit of a challenge spinning all the plates lately. And when admin swallows you whole, creativity suffers, and I've been struggling to find my mojo in the last few weeks. I'm hoping that things will settle in June and that we'll finish strong before we break for the summer!

In terms of classes it's the weirdest thing. The first 3 dates in June are sold out, but the croissant class on June 26th still has all 5 spaces! It's never happened before, so if you've been wanting to learn how to make croissants, there's plenty of availability in that one! All the details are on the website but you will have to email me if you want to book it as the website is glitching when taking bookings so I'd rather do it manually for the time being.

Hope to see lots of you in June!

🥐 Cardiff Collection 🥐

Due to staffing constraints, this Saturday 23rd May will now be a collection from our lobby, not a pop-up as originally planned!

All the items available will be released on the website tonight at 8pm, so you can put your pre-order in at that point but please note that I will be limited in the quantities I can offer this week so some of the bakes might sell out quicker than others!

Collections will be from 9.30am until 10.30am and as usual, we won't be able to rearrange or refund missed collections as we tend to leave promptly after that once the kitchen is clean and tidy!

See you on Saturday;)

Astrid ❤️

But what is this? Well, after making too much brioche dough this week I had to come up with something else to make with it and in honour of our bakery assistant who has passed her exams and will sadly be leaving us soon, we've made a staple from her home country Malaysia! I've been told they're all the rage over there and I don't know if I've done them justice as the test didn't go to plan but if you know what it is, please let me know tomorrow! So it's a simple brioche bun with salted butter trapped in it which melts when you bake it and creates a cavity, and it's then topped before baking with a coffee cream that creates a hard shell on top. That's it! It's very low key but quite addictive, and because I'm not convinced I've got it right yet, these will go for just £1.50 a bun just so you can try it and let me know what you think! I don't have loads by the way, just 20 or so.

I'm also trialling 2 versions of our cinnamon bun, one made with brioche dough, one with laminated dough, so please let me know which one is your favourite and I'm currently trying to improve our recipe!

I think it might be a wet one tomorrow weatherwise and I truly appreciate everyone that comes out rain or shine, I hope to see you tomorrow! But yeah, maybe bring a brolly...

🥐 Where to find us in May 🥐

EDIT: Due to unforeseen circumstances we are slightly changing the schedule for the last 2 weeks of May so these are the new dates:

- Sat 16th May: pop-up inside Brother Thai k from 9am (unchanged)
- Sat 23rd May: collection from our kitchen - this was originally a pop-up but now a collection. The stock will be updated on the website at 8pm Monday 18th May
- Sun 24th May: pop-up with Ambika Social l in Abergavenny (unchanged)
- Sat 30th May: cancelled - originally a collection but unfortunately this won't be possible anymore.

Because of half term and other circumstances, we will now be closing the last week of May and won't have pastries with our wholesalers that week either.

Sorry about the last minute change of dates but you still have a chance to get our bakes to 2 different pop-ups and one collection this month!

Astrid ❤️
