Leto's Light Delights

Leto's Light Delights Homemade bakes & preserves from my porch honesty box in Black Torrington.

25 years' experience - Head Chef & Great Taste Awards.

Level 3 Food Safety - Allergen Trained - Fully Insured - Registered with Environmental Health Leto’s Light Delights grew naturally from Leto's Light - A Guiding Light Through Pet Grief, where my work has always centred on care, connection, and comforting people through life’s moments. Food felt like the next, most natural expression of that same value, nourishing the body while comforting the soul

. I’m a qualified chef with over 25 years of experience, and a long‑time advocate of food made with intention and heart. Over my career, I’ve had the privilege of creating Great Taste Award‑winning food, but what matters most to me is keeping things honest, approachable, and enjoyable. Through Leto’s Light Delights, I now share my food from a small porch‑side bakery at home, opening at weekends and on Mondays for the local community. Everything is handmade, baked fresh in small batches, and rooted in classic, comforting recipes, the kind of food that brings people together and makes everyday moments feel a little more special. Alongside the weekend bakes, I’m also happy to make whole cakes or tarts to order for special occasions, gatherings, and tea parties, where availability allows, just ask and we can have a chat. Leto’s Light Delights is an extension of the wider Leto’s Light philosophy, offering warmth, nourishment, and kindness, one bake at a time. Thank you to everyone who has supported, visited, and encouraged me so far. It truly means more than I can say 🙏

Thank you so much to everyone who has stopped by over the past couple of weekends at the porch bakery. It’s been lovely to have such kind support. This coming weekend will be my third weekend open, with another small selection of fresh, homemade bakes ready on the porch. I’ve popped a poster below with a bit more information about me, what you can expect to find, opening times, and where to find me. If you’re ever looking for bakes, tarts, etc., for a special occasion, feel free to ask - Babs Leto's Light Delights 🙏

One of my favourite celebration cakes I've made. Lemon sponge, finished with handcrafted sugar flowers. A glimpse of the care that goes into everything I create.

Welcome to Leto’s Light Delights
Nourishing the body, comforting the soul.

I’m Babs, a former Head Chef with 25 years of experience in hospitality. I've been fortunate to have my own pub, won Great Taste Awards, and now I have the privilege of teaching the next generation of chefs.

After years of cooking for others, I wanted to create something closer to home, something warm, honest, and rooted in our village.

Everything I make is small‑batch, homemade, and crafted with care.
You’ll find my bakes and preserves on my porch, using a simple honesty box system, just good food, made with love.
