Another market stall success + new and improved website goes live

Yesterday Melissa and I spent the day selling our handmade wares at Nigel's Eco Market in the Lanes.  We had a great day, met some interesting and likeminded people, gave out lots of business cards and even made a bit of a profit - hurrah!
Check out Melissa on the stall, modelling one of our new Brighton Baker aprons:

There was a great vibe about the day, all the other stall holders we met were really friendly and were showcasing some fantastic products from recycled clothing and accessories to teacup birdfeeders - it was hard not to blow our takings before we'd even left the building. 

And just in time for the event, our new and improved website www.brightonbakery.co.uk is now live.  Thanks to Marc at Unemployedesigners for all his work on the site.  We still have a couple of tweaks to make and some more cake photos to be uploaded but please take a look and like us on Facebook.

Until next time, happy baking xx



Come and see us at Nigel's Eco Market in Brighton's Lanes this Saturday

It's been a wee while since we held a market stall but we've got another bakeathon tomorrow in preparation for Nigel's Eco Market this Saturday.  The Market runs from 10am - 5pm at the Friends Meeting House in the South Lanes in Brighton, where we will be selling our delicious handmade cakes and treats alongside stalls for cool eco products, upcycled furniture, handmade jewellery and loads more quirky and unique stuff.

We've got some of our well loved favourites like Beetroot Brownies and Luscious Lemon Trickle Cake, plus we're trying out two new seasonal cupcake flavours - Courgette & Camomile and Raspberry & Elderflower.

You might also like to know some of our green credentials:

• Many of our cakes contain vegetables, which are all locally grown and sourced from the Park Farm Shop in Falmer
• The eggs we use are always local and free range
• As far as possible we only use British ingredients, but for things we can't grow in the UK, such as lemons and cocoa, we buy Fairtrade
• Our kitchen is powered by 100% green energy from Ecotricity
• We make all our cakes and treats from scratch, by hand, less than one food mile away from the stall at Nigel's Eco Market
• All of our cakes are suitable for vegetarians, and we always have a selection of vegan treats (as well as dairy free and gluten free options for those with intolerances)
• We never use margarine or artificial flavours and as our cakes are all baked fresh the day before the event you can be sure there are no artifical preservatives

If you're in town on Saturday please come and say hello - if you're lucky there will be some free samples too :o)
