🐻 Chocolate and Almond Bear Claws.
🐻
Fancied trying my hand at these, a laminated rough puff pastry filled with chocolate ganache and almond butter.

They were so tasty and the pastry so crispy and flaky! I need to work on the claws actually staying in the paws!

Thanks to everyone who ordered through the click a

Thanks to everyone who ordered through the click and collect shop on saturday it was great to be sharing bakes with you again.

The next couple of Fridays I'm booked up with special requests so the next pop up click and collect will be 25th July.

This Summer Berry Sponge cake will be on the menu. These berries in the Sponge and Jam are from Windmill Hill Fruit Farm. My garden fruits are coming along nicely, if i can get any before the birds!

Our collaboration with @leedsbreadcoop is going to resume in July too so they'll be in our bakery again and a selection of products will be available through their click and collect shop including home delivery. Yey!

Keep safe everyone and take care. Elly 🌿

Hiiii! News about our Saturday sweet shop! The link to order is in the bio.
There will be a small range of different options each week. Do please let us know if there is something you really miss of ours so we can see about having this on sale.

I'm hoping in coming weeks to make the collection time to start earlier, to ensure that the cinnamon rolls are fresh out the oven, i want to give myself enough time.
You can choose a specific collection time so hopefully not everyone comes at once, please respect each other and keep a safe distance. Your orders will be already packed but please be patient if there is a small queue, my leg is in a brace after breaking a few bones. So i'm not as agile at the moment as I could be!
I'm really looking forward to baking for you again.

This soft gooey mallow is finger licking good, sad

This soft gooey mallow is finger licking good, sadly it separated from the syrup a little bit. Maybe i let it get too warm or my aquafaba wasn't reduced enough prior to whipping. Abit more work to do to get these right. Maybe not on such a warm day either! Ha. I adapted paul hollywoods bbc recipe.
Hopefully Tunnocks will release a dark chocolate dairyfree version some time soon, I was up for a little challenge as my uncle has recently developed a dairy sensitvity.

Sharing joy with our neighbours. Do people even make butterfly buns anymore? 🦋 I can't remember the last time i made these classics. 🦋
They were always on the tea tray when visiting my great auntie as a kid along with wholemeal scones. 😊

Tea at three, with a Czech Bun fresh from the oven

Tea at three, with a Czech Bun fresh from the oven. It's 5000 degrees outside but i still like a cuppa tea!
A slight sweet yeasted dough with nuts, sultanas and a bit of spice. Very similar to an English Hot Cross Bun.
My brother's girlfriend is from Czech and baked and cooked alot when living with my mum, we miss seeing Klara and I wanted to bake something with her in mind. Thanks Klara for the recipe that I was able to adapt using my own yeasted sweet dough recipe.

Lemon bars from @minimalistbaker. I've used lots

Lemon bars from @minimalistbaker. I've used lots of their straight to fridge recipes as they can make for easier puddings at home. This is the lemony number which has a baked base then the whole lot baked too.
It's really yummy and smooth and creamy. Made with mainly cashew nuts, coconut cream, lemon and maple syrup, with a nutty oaty base.
