Three Hares Bakehouse

26/09/2023

It's been very quiet at Three Hares here recently. I've been looking after my mental and physical health and it's been a difficult few months but... Bake Off is back on our screens and I couldn't be happier!

Back in 2018 I was watching Bake Off on a psychiatric ward in North Devon. GBBO and Baking has always been my therapeutic place, and has helped me through some horrible times. But sometimes I have to step back to make sure that my first love doesn't become something I hate because I'm working too hard at it. And that's what I've been doing - back to basics, taking time for myself and doing a few bits of baking for my friends and family but no commissions.

I'm already a massive fan of Tasha and Saku, and as always I'm so pleased to see fantastic disability representation and accommodations from Bake Off with Daryl.

I'm staying quiet for now while I continue to recover, but a new season of Bake Off always deserves a post!

Say hi to BSL interpreter Daryl! 👏👏

Tasha: “Seeing Daryl up at the front and feeling fully part of the show was a really special moment. I couldn’t have done it without him and without the dedication from the show ensuring I had the same access as the other bakers.” ❤️❤️

To all my lovely customers,

Due to personal health reasons, I am temporarily closing my order books for wedding and celebration cakes.

Many of you know that I run Three Hares alongside a full time job, and at the moment I am not coping with doing both. I have struggled with my mental health for a long time, so I know I need to put my wellbeing first for a bit!

I will put a note up when I'm open for orders again, but always happy to chat and discuss future orders, so I'm still available to message (even if it takes me a minute to reply!).

Thanks all, and happy caking!
Daisy

🌹 RASPBERRY, REDCURRANT & ROSE 🌹

I had so much fun with this cake - a delicious raspberry yoghurt and redcurrant sponge with rose extract, and a raspberry and redcurrant mascarpone buttercream with rosewater.

Rose is a difficult flavour to get right - too much and it is overpowering, too little and it gets washed away. This cake balances the floral flavours beautifully with the tart red summer fruits, and is perfect for a birthday celebration!

Simple and elegant, but hiding a surprise inside... I absolutely loved making these cocktail themed cakes for Jess & Ed's wedding today at . Bottom layer is G&T, middle layer Pimms, top layer Aperol Spritz! Finished with beautiful flowers and foliage.

To my lovey customers - apologies for being slow to respond to messages at the moment. I am extremely busy and having to conserve energy to put into making my cakes! I will reply, but it might take a few days to get back to you. Thank you for understanding :)

If there's one thing we don't scrimp on at Three Hares, it's COLOURS and SPRINKLES!!! We love all the colours, all the sprinkles and all the sparkle 💖

🍏 APPLE CAKE 🍎

I'm back from my jaunt around the low countries! I've spent the last two weeks cycling around the Netherlands, Belgium and Northern France, and it has been ~fabulous~. I have eaten my body weight in Belgian chocolate and amazing patisserie, but I have missed being in the kitchen!

This beautiful gluten free Devon apple cake is destined for this weekend, so make sure you grab a slice while you can!

🩷 RHUBARB & CUSTARD CAKE 💛

Vanilla sponge, filled with creme patisserie (that posh custard to you and me), roasted rhubarb & orange, & custard buttercream. Topped with candied rhubarb.

All the rhubarb from this one came from my garden! I absolutely love this cake, from the colours to the silkiness of the custard buttercream. It feels like spring has finally sprung!

Available exclusively at this weekend.

🍏 OMA'S APPELTAART 🍏

I spent last week back in the Netherlands, where I grew up between 9 and 18. The Dutch might be known for fries 🍟 and pancakes 🥞, but a proper appeltaart is honestly one of the best things to ever come out of Holland.

This recipe for Oma's Appeltaart, or Grandmother's Apple Pie, is adapted with a gluten free pastry, and crammed full of apples and raisins, and a hefty sprinkle of cinnamon.

Traditionally the pie would be served with squirty cream and/or ice cream, and drunk with a strong cup of black coffee ☕ (or if you're like me, a warme chocomel/hot chocolate!).

Once it's cooled and packed up, this fabulous pie will be available (with squirty cream!) at this weekend!
