Störtebäcker - Adventures in Baking

12/02/2022

If you are looking for healthy options this February, come to the Wee Shop today and try our superfood quiche: oven roasted kale, butternut squash and red onions in a crumbly whole grain wheat, teff and buckwheat crust, with loads of egg for protein and fresh herbs, nutmeg and blue cheese crumbles for extra layers of flavour.
Of course, we have all our delicious regular bakes as well☺️

🥨•Shop reopening on Friday, 18th June•🥨

Good evening, everyone,

First of all, I’d like to thank you all for your kind messages, your condolences and expressions of sympathy and support.
Today is my final day of self isolation after returning from Germany. This means I can start baking again tomorrow, and I should have enough time to make pastries, pretzels, a cake or two, and loaves.
I’m still finding day to day life challenging so I’m suspending online orders until I feel I can cope with the extra pressure.
Thank you for your understanding!

Hope to see you on Friday,

K 🥨
(PS: I thought I’d share a photo of the little disused bake house in Bremen-Lesum, where I grew up)

Opening at 11am today... 😊

Good morning!
The Wee Shop website is now live and the online shop will open at 11am! 🙌🏻
Head over to www.theweeshop.uk -
you’ll be able to place an order for collection or local delivery.
I hope you’ll find the process easy -
I’ve set a local delivery zone - if you’re outside of this, you won’t be able to check out unless you choose 'pick up from Wee Shop'. If you’re just outside this zone (within roughly 1.5km radius of the Wee Shop), please contact me using the contact form on the website.
When you place an order and you know it’s a Friday you’d like to get your goodies, please go straight to the ‘Friday’ category on the Shop page. Similarly, if it’s a Saturday, please shop products listed in the ‘Saturday’ category.
I’m hoping to improve this part of the ordering process... my limited knowledge of tech stuff has left the Shop page looking a bit disorganised (in keeping with my brain, some might say... 🙄).
I can reassure you though that the e-commerce bit is safe and secure! 😄
Please be aware that under the current restrictions I’m focussing on online orders and will only have limited stock in the physical shop and shorter opening hours.
I’m quite excited... and I hope you’ll enjoy browsing and shopping! 😃🥨😃

Hello all!
New year, new way of doing things... perhaps?
😊🥨🌈

Hello, and a happy New Year to you all!

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve decided to put back re-opening of the Wee Shop by a week. I’ve been busy designing a web site which will enable you to order items for local delivery or pick up from the Wee Shop - and I’m almost there...! ..AND...........I will be baking sourdoughs, seeded loaves, pretzels, scones, and bagels this week (after all I need to get my muscles moving again!) so please let me know if you’d like any, ideally by Tuesday night for sourdoughs, Wednesday night for anything else! I can deliver to you if you’re in the Corstorphine area, or we can arrange a pick up from my house (also in Corstorphine). Stay safe!

Good afternoon all, a wee reminder that the Wee Shop is closed tomorrow and this Saturday. I’m pleased to say that I’ve made good progress on my Advent and Christmas baking and also made a variety of preserves and chutneys!
Keep safe and well, and see you next week! Kerstin 🥨x

Hello to you all,
Just a gentle reminder that the Wee Shop is closed for a short holiday this week. We’ll be opening our door again on Friday, 3rd July.
I hope you’ve been able to enjoy the sunny weather! I’ve been on lots of walks, picking elderflowers here and there...
