🪹THE HUNGRY NEST IS COMING TO SELBY MARKET 🪹

You’ve asked before if our cakes are available by the slice and the answer is yes!!!

This Monday, 7th September, we are bringing some of The Hungry Nest bestsellers: Chocolate Cake, Lemon Cake, Honey Cake, Coffee & Walnut, two versions of our Millionaire’s Shortbread and a GF Orange & Chocolate Bundt.

Come for one slice. Leave with five. We're not judging. 👀

It’s our first time at Selby Market and we're so excited to meet all of you 😍.

📍 Selby Market | 9am–3pm
Everything is made in small batches, so once it’s gone, it’s gone. ☺️

ℹ️Our GF cake is made for those choosing gluten-free as a preference.
Our small kitchen also handles gluten and it is not suitable for those with coeliac disease, gluten allergies or intolerances.ℹ️

Opera in the Nest

A classic, but reinterpreted.

The traditional Opera is built around almond, coffee and chocolate. For this version, I kept the elegance and precision of its seven layers, but changed the flavours.

Almond and roasted hazelnut joconde forms the structure, layered with a smooth hazelnut cream and dark chocolate ganache. Apricot coulis sits between the layers, bringing enough acidity and freshness to balance the richer flavours, before a thin chocolate glaze finishes the cake.

There was something about this combination that felt right for this time of year. Apricot still belongs to those bright summer flavours, while roasted nuts and dark chocolate naturally lean towards the colder months ahead. 🍂

Opera in the Nest is my way of taking a pastry classic I admire and making it fit The Hungry Nest.

Strawberry Tarts 🍓

Made for a client who chose to celebrate with an afternoon tea and it always feels special to know that The Hungry Nest gets to be part of those occasions.

These aren't your traditional strawberry tarts. Instead of a standard pastry case and custard, I went with a buttery pâte sucrée shell, a strawberry coulis folded with diced strawberries and a light vanilla crème légère, finished with fresh strawberries and a touch of lime zest.

Another one left the Nest 🪹

Created to celebrate my brother-in-law, this cake brought together two things personal to him: his Jamaican roots and an undeniable love for chocolate.

Deep, moist chocolate sponge layered with dark chocolate crémeux, then finished entirely in Belgian chocolate ganache. Rich and intensely chocolatey, while still keeping the flavours balanced.

The design was intentionally kept minimal, an elegant finish, fine gold detailing and a small nod to Jamaica through the message on top.

For me, bespoke will always be about more than decoration. It’s about knowing who you are creating for and finding those small details that make an order feel personal. 🫶🏼

A little change to a classic 🍋

For this Lemon Meringue Tart, I decided to move away from the usual lemon curd and make a lemon crémeux instead.

It still has that sharp, beautiful lemon flavour I wanted, but with a smoother, creamier texture and a little more richness, which works beautifully against the crisp pastry and sweet Italian meringue.

Still very much a lemon meringue tart, but The Hungry Nest way 🤍🍋.

🎈 A little look at one of this weekend’s orders, prepared for a 40th birthday celebration. 🎈

The customer had the main food covered, so took care of the nibbles, something sweet for the table and, of course, the birthday cake.

For the savoury side, the client went for our cheese pretzels and sausage roll bites, easy to put out, easy to share and exactly the kind of food you want people to be able to pick at throughout a party.

Then came the sweet bits: lemon & vanilla cookies, Millionaire’s Shortbread cut into smaller bites and a lemon drizzle loaf, sliced and ready to serve.

For the cake, they chose pistachio & raspberry and left the design completely up to me. I kept it simple, in soft shades of green with just a little gold. Inside, moist pistachio sponge and pistachio ganache are paired with raspberry puree for that sharp, fruity contrast against the richness of the pistachio.

You don’t always need full catering for a celebration. Sometimes you’ve already got the main menu sorted and just need someone to take care of the nibbles, the candy bar/ corner or the cake and can happily fill those gaps.

Happy 40th! 🥂

One of the things I enjoy most about running The Hungry Nest is getting to hear the story behind an order. 💬

This order was prepared for a team day and after chatting with the organiser, one thing really stood out. Every part of the day had been carefully planned, right down to the food. It wasn't simply about making sure lunch was available. It was about making sure people felt looked after.

For this order, we prepared our Twisted Classics sandwich trays alongside one of our corporate pack selections, which included homemade sausage roll bites, double chocolate biscotti and lemon & vanilla cookies. The customer swapped the cheese pretzels for homemade knishes and we prepared two individual grazing boxes with garlic-free homemade hummus, pitta, fresh vegetables, crackers and fresh fruits to suit specific dietary requirements.

That's something we take very seriously at The Hungry Nest. Whether it's an allergy, an intolerance or a dietary requirement, we want everyone to feel included around the table. If a sensible change can be made, we'll always do our best to make it happen. 🤍

I also came away from this order with a few new ideas. Every customer, every conversation and every order teaches me something and that's one of the things I enjoy most about building The Hungry Nest. 🪹

🪹Freshly delivered for The Rancher's Sweet Tooth this week. 🪹

This week's selection is all about familiar flavours, each with its own little twist.

Red Velvet with a whipped white chocolate & cream cheese ganache. Light, smooth and balanced, finished with a scattering of dried edible rose petals.

Biscoff Cake with layers of Biscoff cream, mascarpone cream and a generous Biscoff crumb.

Lemon Millionaire's Shortbread - the one that has become a firm favourite at The Ranch. Sharp and refreshing homemade lemon curd, buttery shortbread and silky belgian chocolate.

Classic Millionaire's Shortbread for those who love a classic ✨️.

Mini Pavlova

Pavlova and I have always had a complicated relationship. I've never enjoyed desserts that are sweet for the sake of being sweet, so creating this Pavlova meant finding a balance that worked for me first.

The meringue brings the sweetness, exactly as it should. Instead of pairing it with whipped cream, I chose a light crème légère, keeping the cream silky and only lightly sweetened.

A spoonful of orange curd adds bright citrus notes with a gentle floral character, while fresh raspberries and blueberries bring the acidity needed to keep everything feeling fresh.

A different take on a classic, but one I'd happily reach for myself. 🤭
