Hi all, I am sorry to announce that I'm taking a break from baking for the foreseeable future. It has become unsustainable financially and physically to keep going on my own.

I love cooking of all kinds and have really enjoyed getting to know my customers, market traders and organisers. It wasn't the easiest time to start a business at the end of 2019 and the challenges keep on coming with ingredients prices and utility bills increasing at such a rate. The butter I use has doubled in price in just over a year, but I can't keep putting up my prices. Understandably, there is only so much people will pay for a scone!

Last year I sold 93 different gluten free products, that's a lot of recipe development! I sold over 1000 cheese scones! I'm really proud of what I've achieved.

It is really sad to let it go, but I've been offered a good job that means I won't be up until 2am working for much less than minimum wage. I worked three hours this week for the grand sum of £1.40! Working in the food business is very tough, so please continue to support the farmers markets when you can.

All the very best and many, many thanks to my regular customers and everyone who has liked a post, written a review, bought a sausage roll or given me a spot at a market. Hopefully it isn't the end, but for now the apron is packed away.

You said what Pointless??!! Load of rubbish in case anyone is about to go shopping for any of these! Very misleading indeed. None of these are gluten free unless made specially gluten free.

(Coeliac UK Perhaps one to follow up? I have sent in my complaint to the BBC.)

I have an order for vegetarian sausage rolls this week (Butternut squash, chestnuts, mushrooms, cheddar and other tasty ingredients in a cheese shortcrust pastry). All gluten free of course. Would anyone else like any? Just send me a message or WhatsApp 07792931619.
They will be ready on Thursday.

Two of this week's birthday cakes and a couple of nice reviews. I also delivered a gift wrapped box of cupcakes to Hadleigh, but completely forgot to take a photo!

Lemon sponge with fresh lemon curd and lemon buttercream, with caramel buttons, white chocolate and meringues.

Chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream, rich chocolate ganache and white chocolate shavings.

I hope my customers had a wonderful time. Thanks for choosing me! 😊

I'm currently working on admin, planning the year ahead and trialling new recipes, but please contact me if I can bake anything for you.

Apologies to anyone waiting for product lists and prices - this is part of my planning work, I haven't forgotten!

Wishing all my friends and customers a very happy and healthy 2023! 🎉

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas orders?

I'm planning some savouries for later in January, but I need to spend some time on admin 👎 and think this will be a good time, as purses 🙋‍♀️ and waistlines 🙋‍♀️ recover from Christmas.

Enjoy the celebrations later 🍾 (or TV and sleep if you have little ones like me! 😆)

Photo: This was a dessert I made over Christmas, based on the Jane's Patisserie recipe for Millionaire's Trifle, but I used my own gluten free yule log recipe, shortbread recipe and brownies. It was pretty special! 😍 (hence the waistline 🤣)

I hope Caroline had a wonderful birthday yesterday! It was lovely to make a cake for someone with a birthday on Christmas Day for the whole family to enjoy together despite it being gluten and dairy free. 😊 It was a rich chocolate cake.

Well, that's a (gluten free) wrap!

Thanks to all my customers, fellow market traders, market organisers, suppliers and friends for supporting me this year. Living gluten free may not always be ideal, but it does come with a brilliant community. 🥰

I'm going to take a break for a bit and will be back in touch in mid - January.

Have a wonderful Christmas and let's hope 2023 brings good things for us all. 😊
