A little update on The Bake Hut, Cafe & Our produce!

🍞 We are happy to announce that we are back to using Folic Acid Free Bread Flour - for how long who knows ? Many of you will have seen our posts in the past about all white bread flours have to be added with folic acid by the end of the year! - another government “guideline” rule!!!!
But unfortunately around 40% of the uk population can’t have folic acid mainly due to MTHFR! Most supermarkets breads already contain folic acid & this includes sourdough. A lot of people get mixed up thinking sourdough won’t because it’s a natural yeast, folic acid isn’t added to the yeast it’s added the the bread flour. Meaning anything that is bread flour based (cinnamon buns, Belgian bun, pastry’s) & much more! Are more than likely going to contain folic acid! Please read your ingredients labels carefully when shopping!!

🍪 The Bake Hut is open as normal throughout the holidays - we have no plans on having a weekend off (BRB just crying). BUT….
Throughout the holidays you will find offers on bakes & cakes weekly BUT triple chocolate brownies will be £2 each OR x3 for £5 EVERY WEEK (starting as of today) - they are a little smaller than normal (more child friendly) but definitely worth more than £2! - what a bargain!
Cinnamon buns are now going to be available every Saturday - once they have gone they have gone!

☕️ Pop Up Cafe is still running as normal 10:30-13:30 every Monday. Cakes, bakes, pastries, Salads & Pasta Dishes. - soft play mats with sensory toys for little ones along with building bricks, cars & more.
Colouring & craft activities - different weekly for the older children. - this is FREE of charge all we ask is that you purchase a hot drink at £1 & if you fancy a bake perfect! 🫶🏼

Where? 13 Vernon Park.
When? Friday 09:00-20:00 Saturday & Sunday 08:30-20:00
Payment? Cash OR QR code - Code is on the inside of the door!

Much love, xoxo

One Year In Business! 🎂 - Come of get some FREE cake from myself, I’ll be next to the bake hut between 9:30-10:30. The Bake hut is FULL, plenty of offers on (even including bread - we never put offers on bread, it must be a celebration)!!!

⚽️ We have football treats in (just not the beer but The Beer Hall have the best around)
🍋 We have something lemon
🍫 We have the 14 layer Bruce cake
🧺 We have plenty for them picnic baskets
☀️ But we also have sun, so we recommend coming as soon as possible & popping your cakes in the fridge once you get home or somewhere cool!

Thank you, for your support week in & week out from popping to the bake hut to sitting & having a chat on a Monday at the pop up cafe, pre ordering, recommending us to others & of course just enjoying our cakes, bakes & breads!

We are so grateful, to have had so much support of you all! What a year it’s been, we aren’t going to lie we have had times where we have been ready to throw the towel in (baking in this heat being one) 😰.

We have filled the bake hut to the brim today with so many bakes with over 10 different choices on cakes & bakes. Then of course of bread & granola!

We hope you’re able to pop by today & here’s to another year (hopefully) … keep on support small & local business people!

Much love,
Jess owner of Thirteenbakes! xoxox

The Blue Barn Candle Company most beautiful candles & wax melts! 🫶🏼

The lovely Jess at Thirteenbakes in Galgate baked this gorgeous cake for me yesterday just so I could use it to take lots of photos of my hand-dipped skinny candles. One of the best things about running a tiny business is the huge amount of support I get from other small businesses. It’s like being a part of a mutual appreciation club! If I named them all, this post would take you ages to read!
For now, a huge thanks to Jess and, if you like the idea of some fancy hand-dipped candles (lots of colours possible) for a special cake… you know who to ask! 😉
