Week 3 at Baked by Daria ✨

Three weeks in, and things are really starting to take shape

It’s been a busy few weeks behind the scenes, and from next week you’ll start to see even more changes happening around the bakery as we continue to make it feel more and more like Baked by Daria.

One thing that won’t change is the way we make our products — the artisan way. From our sourdough breads, to focaccias and our sweet bakes, everything is made with care, time and attention to detail. 🧡

I’m so grateful for all the support, kind words, visits and purchases over these first three weeks. It honestly means so much. 🫶

And a little reminder — we’re OPEN this Bank Holiday Monday, 9am–3pm!

A little more about our sourdough 🍞

Our sourdough is at the heart of what we do at
Baked by Daria

Our loaves are made with just 3 simple ingredients — flour, water and salt. That’s it.

Every loaf starts with our own sourdough starter, carefully prepared dough and plenty of time. We follow an artisan approach, allowing the dough the time it needs to naturally develop its flavour, texture and character.

There are no shortcuts when it comes to our bread. From mixing and folding to shaping, proving and baking, every loaf is made by hand.

We love a loaf with a beautifully crisp crust, a soft, open crumb and plenty of flavour — the kind of bread that’s just as good with butter as it is turned into your favourite sandwich.

Our loaves are available Monday–Friday from 7:30am and Saturday from 9am.

And over the next few posts, we’ll be sharing a little more about the ingredients that go into our bread and why we choose them.

Starting with… our flour 🌾

First Week ✨

What a first week it’s been! 🧡

A whole week of Baked by Daria at The Bakery on Castle Road and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better start.

From early mornings mixing and shaping sourdough, watching the ovens fill up with beautiful loaves, focaccia and all the sweet treats to meeting so many lovely new faces and seeing regular customers come back through the door it’s been incredibly special.

We’ve baked, we’ve sold out, we’ve had a few little learning curves along the way, and most importantly, we’ve had so much support from our amazing local community.

Thank you to everyone who has popped in, bought something, said hello, shared our posts, recommended us to friends or simply wished me luck. It genuinely means more than you know.

And just a little reminder for next week:

Sourdough breads will be available again on Monday, and then Wednesday–Saturday.

Tuesday you’ll be able to pick up some of the classic yeasted loaves still available instead.

And because you’ve been so amazing and we’ve sold out of sourdough earlier than expected, we’ll be increasing the quantities for next week too!

I’m so excited for everything that’s to come and for you to see the bakery gradually become more and more Baked by Daria

✨ A little update from The Bakery… ✨

As I begin this exciting new chapter, I wanted to share a little more about my plans for the shop. 🤍

For now, my plan is to keep The Bakery open and running as you know it, while slowly introducing more of my own products and ideas over the coming weeks.

I’ll be giving the shop a little refresh and refurbishment over the next few weeks, followed by a launch party where I’ll officially reveal the new Baked by Daria brand and celebrate this exciting new chapter with you all!

But you don’t have to wait until then to visit…

From Monday, we’ll be open with the usual favourites you already know and love from The Bakery, alongside some of my own products — and I’m especially excited that my sourdough breads will be available from day one!

This week, you’ll find my sourdough available every day, alongside some of the yeasted breads already sold at The Bakery. I’ll be gradually adding more of my breads, pastries, cakes and other Baked by Daria favourites as we settle in.

New opening hours

Monday – Friday: 7:30am – 3:00pm
Saturday: 9:00am – 2:00pm
Sunday: Closed

This is just the beginning, and I’m so excited to slowly make the shop my own while keeping the lovely spirit of The Bakery that so many of you already know.

Thank you so much for all the support and lovely messages so far — it really means the world to me. 💛

✨ A NEW CHAPTER FOR BAKED BY DARIA ✨

I’ve been keeping a little secret… and I can finally share it with you. 🤍

Baked by Daria is taking its biggest step yet — I’m taking over The Bakery and giving Baked by Daria a home of its own. 🥹

📍 You’ll now find me at The Bakery, 106 Castle Road Bedford

What started as a little micro bakery from my home, baking from my kitchen and selling at markets, has somehow led me here. After dreaming, planning, baking and wondering if this day would ever come, I finally have a bakery to call home.

Over time, I’ll be turning The Bakery into a place that truly feels like Baked by Daria — filled with the breads, pastries, bakes and coffee I’ve been dreaming about creating for so long.

I want to create something that feels truly Baked by Daria — and I want you to be part of watching it come to life.

I honestly cannot thank everyone enough for supporting me from those very first days of my little home bakery, through the markets, and all the way to this moment. 💛

Every loaf, every order, every market and every person who has supported Baked by Daria has helped me get here.

There’s so much more to come, and I can’t wait to take you along for the journey — from the first loaf to the final touches of the new bakery.

Here’s to a very exciting new beginning!

What a lovely day at Bromham Mill Market on Sunday! 🧡

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, supported my small business, and treated themselves to some freshly baked goodies. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and meet new customers too.
