Well hello everyone & hello warm sunny weather ☀️ firstly apologies for being so quiet over winter, just a little update for you all with plans this year, I will open , I’m just not sure when 🥴 we are in the middle of getting major groundwork done so the site is not suitable for customers, but be assured as soon as all works are completed I will let you know.

Also a little change this year, I will be doing an honesty fridge & box 😁 which will be located in a new shed right beside the road, it will be filled with lots of treats, sweet & savoury, again all part of the groundwork getting done, having the fridge & box means I’m not so weather dependent, the box will be filled with non food items for sale 👀👀 😁 updates to follow.

When I’m home from my usual work & weather allows I will open my deck space for teas/ coffee’s & refreshments.

We look forward to welcoming everyone & a new drive, new fence, new shed & honesty fridge soon xx

‼️‼️‼️ Closed ‼️‼️‼️

So I’m a little late updating the page, I’m home from work a little later than planned, and had hoped to open, however storm Floris has other ideas 🙈 the weather is not looking the best for the next few days, I have family arriving this week & the latest addition to the family is coming to Barra for his first visit 😁 .

It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to call it a day on this season, I have a prior commitment in September, It’s just not worth doing a couple of days here & there between my other commitments .

I may still do cakes for takeaway & of course I’m more than happy to do made to order cakes & tray bakes . I will be starting out again next season , new things are on the horizon for simple snacks .

Thank you to everyone who supported me this year, it really does mean so much & I look forward to serving you all next season xx

Update , sooooooo this little man made his appearance on Tuesday, long overdue but arrived safely, all are well, we are so proud of Margaret & Dylan and over the moon to have Callen added to the family tree 😁 .

All going well, I plan on opening on the 4th August after my work shift is done and had a chance to restock the baking

Hello everyone, thought I should update the page from my previous post a few weeks ago.

I am still on the mainland waiting for grandchild number 3 to make an appearance , we have a very fed up mummy & daddy to be , it is now looking unlikely that I will be open this time off 🫣

Please hurry up stork with this special delivery

I will update soon , thanks everyone for understanding & I’m so sorry to everyone that was looking forward to cake & other goodies xx

That’s me headed back to work today for the next 2 weeks, then I will be staying on the mainland for a very special delivery 😃 I am going to be by my daughters side , her first baby is due end of this month , so unsure when I will be open again, it all depends on the stork 😁.

Thank you to all my customers this week, it is a pleasure serving you all, yesterday was particularly busy for takeaways, I appreciate you all. Will update when open again . in the meantime support all the other local businesses, there’s lots to choose from . Thank you x
