Berkson Bakes

Cakes, brownies, tarts, cookies and more, hand made to order for any occasion. All gluten-free. The result?

As a coeliac, Sarah Berkson is on a mission to ensure that she and fellow gluten-freers don't have to miss out on cakes and other baked treats, and that people who can eat gluten don't even notice its absence. Berkson Bakes specialises in all things gluten-free and provides delicious treats for all occasions; other dietary requirements such as vegan or dairy-free also catered for.

Lots of lovely birthday cakery lately! (As well as plenty of time relaxing, enjoying the sunshine, and appreciating art, at the Phoenix Gallery, Brighton Museum, and Slade School of Art - none of which I photographed...)

Here we have a vegan and soya-free chocolate orange cake; vegan carrot cake; large coffee and walnut cake; clsssic lemon drizzle with added rainbow sprinkles; and giant "50" cakes - the 5 is just chocolate, and the 0 is lemon and raspberry with mini meringues.

Today I am making an enormous quantity of chocolate items - 7 trays of brownies and 2 lots of cupcakes. Things are going to get pretty melty, myself included! 🥵

It's taken me a while to get round to posting but we are here at Brighton Open Market with plenty of delicious treats - as always everything is gluten-free and there's lots suitable for vegans too. Here til 5pm, and as usual you are welcome to bring your own container for cakeaway. Come hungry! 🍰🍫

It genuinely makes my heart sing to receive lovely reviews from my lovely customers, and indeed get repeat business because that's an equally good sign that they have liked my wares! Here's a few things I've made since my return from holiday, alongside baking lots for last Sunday's stall at the Rotary Family Festival (thankfully not a total washout!), complete with some amazing reviews.

Pictured here: vegan salted caramel brownie with chocolate plaque, dairy-free Victoria sponge and lemon drizzle cake, 10" vanilla sponge with fresh cream and berries, whole Bakewell tart, 8" chocolate and raspberry cake, vegan chocolate and raspberry cupcakes, and a tray of raspberry cheesecake brownie.

Now I'm on to some other birthday orders (for repeat customers again!), as well as baking for this Saturday's stall at Brighton Open Market (10am til 5pm, hope to see you there, and with your own container for cakeaway, don't forget). 🍰

I'm off on holiday tomorrow so a brief hiatus in the cakery (normal service resumes from Monday 1st June), but here's lots of the baking I've been doing recently for all the many May birthdays. Also featured here is the stunning apple and pecan cheesecake my other half made me for my birthday - he absolutely excelled himself this year I would say! 🍏

Looking slightly ahead, I will be at Brighton and Hove Soiree Rotary Club Big Family Festival in Hove Park on Sunday 7th June, then at Brighton Open Market on Saturday 13th June. Hope to see you at one or both of those if you're local! 🎪

It's market day yay! Here at Brighton Open Market until 4pm with loads of my delicious wares for you, and as always you can bring your own container for cakeaway. Come hungry!

Once again I haven't shared much of my recent baking lately, though I have been making plenty, including a fair few items outside of my usual wares. Examples of that sort of thing include a traditional fruit cake complete with marzipan and fondant icing; a blue Victoria sponge for a rainbow party (see also my customer's picture of the full rainbow of cakes made by various family and friends); a Charli xcx 'brat' cake (ie lime green!) for a baby shower; and a 2-tiered cake consisting of coffee and walnut at the bottom and pistachio and raspberry on the top, with lots of edible glitter too - very sparkly cake! ✨ By the way I really love when my customers send me pictures of the cakes I have made for them (especially with added candles or toppers etc) so please do feel free to do so!

I'll be back at Brighton Open Market this Saturday (9th May) with plenty more of my regular items - hope to see you there. Come hungry for cake! 😋

Somehow it has been 2 months since I shared any of the baking (apart from stalls) I've been doing, so here is a BUMPER round-up! All the permutations of orange and almond cake, various cupcakes, chocolate cakes, brownies, Bakewell tarts and more - see pictures and captions for details! There are a few more too that I have missed but I have reached the photo limit...

🌼 4th market of 4 in a row today - it's all go with Paper Daisy Events in Jubilee Square (by the library). I'm handily placed right by the coffee stall so you can get yourself a hot drink to go with some of my baked goods. As always you can bring your own container for cakeaway from me, and I'm sure you could do the same for the beverages. There's also loads of other very talented makers and creators here - there's jewellery, terrariums, teas, soaps, paintings and prints, mushroom growing kits, cushions, homewares, clothing and more.

It's forecast to be rather windy later so we may be closing up around 4pm (officially meant to be until 5pm). I advise coming earlier rather than later to avoid disappointment! 🍰

It's all go here at Brighton Open Market for this Easter Saturday market day! I have plenty of treats to see you through the long weekend, including of course plenty more Mini Eggs on everything. I think this might be your last chance for that at stalls. Here til 5pm, and as always you are welcome to bring your own container for cakeaway. Come hungry! 🥚🐰🍫

Big news! The BRAVO Award results were announced this week and I am SO chuffed to have finished in 9th place!!!! Thank you so much all who voted for me, it really means a lot and I appreciate every single vote I received. As a literal sole trader without even a bricks and mortar shop front I genuinely didn't expect to place so high, as there are many other extremely talented sweets and treats makers here in this town. I am super delighted and absolutely buzzing. Thank you also Restaurants Brighton for all your hard work in organising these awards! 🎉

Still working on that cake round-up from the last 6 weeks or so... I promise it's coming soon! Meanwhile, if you're in Brighton this weekend come on down to Brighton Open Market tomorrow (Saturday 4th) and buy some of my wares, I'll have plenty of Easter specials for you. Usual opening hours of 10am til 5pm. Come hungry and don't forget your container for cakeaway! 🍫🥚🍰
