Sunny lil Autumnal snaps from the last couple of weeks, ft my new favourite way of displaying goodies hehe and my new favourite brown butter milk choc cookies which I developed to be my perfect choc chip cookie (for now, until I change my mind 😂)

Hope to see you tomorrow and Saturday for more Autumn deliciousness - i’ll have a slightly different menu each day!

Tomorrow! Saturday from 10am. Special Cinny bun only day for all the Cinny bun fans! Last month all the buns sold pretty quick so I am doing way more tomorrow…

Cinnamon buns in a range of flavours, plus non cinnamon cinny buns hehe. I will also have cookies and focaccia (full menu will be on my story later as usual!)

This is also a great time to get your hand on some merch… I’ll be doing my cinny hun hats with a cheeky 10% discount 😘

Hope to see you! The Yard at Waterworks Road

Small Batch Babka is hiring a part time baker!👩‍🍳🧑‍🍳 PLEASE READ THE BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️

There are a few staff changes coming up at SBB and as we gear up to my busiest period, I am looking to recruit a part time baking assistant.

I am looking for someone who could do 12 - 14 hours a week (£13.45 an hour) across Weds, Fridays and Saturdays (from 7am - 11am most days)

Your duties will involve:
🧈 prepping fillings, syrups, toppings, frostings etc
🧈 helping with sandwich making
🧈packaging buns and making deliveries
🧈other duties that may arise day to day

You do not need to have worked professionally in a kitchen or bakery previously, however this is not a training role and:
🥣 You must have experience, enthusiasm and interest in baking
🥣 Be punctual, reliable and committed to the role until at least end of December 2026
🥣 Be aware that this is a physical role that involves standing for long periods of time
🥣 Be able to drive and have a car (desirable but by no means essential!)

You must be 18+. If this sounds like you, please email me at [email protected] with either a short paragraph and/or a CV and we can take it from there ☀️

It’s the Yard Makers Market this Saturday and I thought I would take a little trip down memory lane! I always have a soft spot for the Makers Market as it was the first market I ever did (about 9 months in to the business)… if you scroll to the end of this post you can see my offerings for that market… it’s nice to see I’ve developed in skill over the years 😎😇

Hope to see you this Saturday from 11am for the September Makers Market! The Yard at Waterworks Road

A recent one from Feb… focaccia, cookies, babka - all the usual you’ve come to know and love.

Gorgeous spread from 2025… and is that a mirror ball I see?! 🪩🪩🪩

2024!!! This market was so busy as I had moved into the bakery in January and it was the first April market. I was swamped! And also decided to not put my obnoxiously large gazebo up which was a big mistake as a seagull 💩 on a load of the buns on the edge and I had to throw them out lol

2024… same market. That queue! Me and Mike have unfortunately got no faster at serving people through the years, sorry 😇

I feel like 2023 was a great year for me understanding how to make things look pretty so that people would buy them at markets :) these flavours from Christmas are definitely due a repeat this year!

View from 2023… I spy Olivia Duncan-Jones setting up a stall before she got her shop in the Yard!

2022… I loved these pastel coloured crates and still use them occasionally! They were such a mainstay for me at all my markets. At the back I have some savoury buns which are burned into my memory because a random customer told me that everything else looked nice but they looked ugly 🥹😢

2021 - guessing Covid must have had a bit of a return hence the masks! This was a super busy market and we arrived late … it’s a lot easier now just being able to roll out the door and set up directly outside the unit with all my bakes!

First ever!! August 2021… not sure I love the look of all these buns now but I was so scared and people were so friendly and supportive to me. Many of those customers are still customers to this day ❤️

If you’ve got this far, see you on Sat!

Thank you all so much for another warm welcome at Bayit Bagels! I was so busy that I barely had time to take any snaps 📸

It has been so wonderful being able to explore new customers with different tastes (Brighton is obsessed with chocolate babka compared to anywhere else I’ve sold!) and I am so thankful for Oli and the team at Bayit for helping to facilitate this. I hope to be back in Brighton definitely before the end of the year… the 3.15 starts for these pop ups are brutal but worth it! ❤️

Apple butter brown butter custard buns (finished beautifully by the wonderful Sable Tart who stepped into to do a last minute early morning shift with me on Saturday) as well as vegan goodies - vegan buns flew out! I’ll definitely be doing more vegan next time ☺️

Cinny buns!!! My chai spiced apple butter cinny buns with maple frosting were super popular - I’ll be doing them for this weeks Makers Market at The Yard at Waterworks Road 🍎🍎🍎

Empty boxes at the end of the day have to be a good sign!

It’s September! Summer has ended! Back to school! The leaves are turning brown! (Sorry for the jump scare)

Busy babka month ahead - September marks opening back on Saturdays again! Please note some closures though - the 12th Sept I will be at Bayit Bagels (therefore closed in Hastings) and on 18th Sept I will be closed in preparation for the The Yard at Waterworks Road Makers Market on the Saturday 19th! I have tried opening on the Fridays before a Makers market before but all that happens is I get 2 customers and just 100% more stressed.

Hope to see you for delicious things this month!

Excited to say I’ll be returning to in the .btn this Saturday 12th September from 10.30am - 2.30pm with babka buns, loaves, cookies and cinnamon buns galore…

In honour of Rosh Hashanah which is that weekend, I’ll have a menu focused entirely on apples and honey in a multitude of forms and flavours… think apple crumble buns, burnt honey ganache, miso apple caramel, sweet salty honey nut buns… the list goes on!! 🍎🍯🐝

I’ll hopefully be using some of Bayit’s surplus bagels again to bring back the buttered bagel cookie which was super popular last time 🍪

Hope to see you there!

This Saturday find me at .lane Spring Fair (Saturday only!) from 10am! 🌺💐🌼

I feel a little bit like a kid on their first day of school as it has been so long since I’ve done a market outside the Yard (what do you mean I have to be organised and bring everything with me … and wake up way earlier than usual 😬) but I’m very excited to be at the lovely Waterlane with a whole host of other amazing artisans.

I’ll be bringing lots with me and have been devising a very special menu - Waterlane is only about a 30 min drive from Hastings so if you are looking for something to do this Saturday - do stop by and say hi!
