Berry spirals, chocolate silk, and hibiscus magic, meeting on one canvas 🌺

Hibiscus has long been one of my plant allies; a flower I return to again and again, not only in tea and tincture, but in essence. There is something about its medicine that speaks to the heart - bold, sensual, vibrant, and unapologetically herself, always 💫

Meet the cupcake version of the cake you kept asking us to bring back!

A charcoal black velvet sponge filled with cherry whipped cream and topped with silky chocolate mylk buttercream - vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and low sugar, without compromise!

This flavour became such a favourite that serving it once a year simply wasn’t enough. Now it returns and stays on the menu for half the year ✨

We’re looking for a short-form content creator to collaborate with Dendara who can capture the feeling and details of what we do.

The role is focused on reels and documenting the atmosphere of the bakery through movement, texture, food, storytelling, and culturally relevant visual content.

The brand voice and creative direction are already very established internally, so we’re specifically looking for someone who can visually translate the world of Dendara through video.

If this sounds like you, please refer to our Careers page for more details and send us an email with your socials/portfolio and examples of short-form work.

London-based preferred.

P.S. It’s slightly surreal to realise we’ve passed our third year without paid marketing, influencer campaigns, or agencies - just genuine word of mouth, loyal guests, and people sharing Dendara because they truly love it. We’ll never stop being grateful for that 🙏

Warm weather fizz season is back!

Our herbal refreshers are here to cool the body, brighten the mood, and keep you deeply hydrated through the summer heat.

🌺 Hibiscus • Rose • Lime
Sweetened naturally with carob for a rich, earthy depth.

🪻Lavender • Thyme • Butterfly Pea
Sweetened with raw honey for a gentle floral finish.

Both drinks are sparkling, botanical, and intentionally crafted to nourish beyond flavor.

And a little reminder: any of our medicinal herbal powder blends can also be ordered iced ✨

Turning ordinary days into something a little softer, a little sweeter.

These cakes aren’t just desserts - they’re tiny canvases, dressed in blooms and fruit, made to be felt as much as tasted.

A brushstroke of cream, a scatter of petals, a moment of beauty you can actually take a bite out of 💫

24/04/2026

It’s fascinating how we tend to hold onto what we love, ordering the same thing again and again and wanting it to stay exactly as it is, while the creative in us is constantly being pulled to evolve, to question, to make space for something new.

For Salma, usually that shows up as unexpected combinations, but this time the nudge was different - it was to take something classic and do it really, really well, without compromising on what matters.

So we moved from our original paleo cookie into something more expansive: a chocolate chip and a double chocolate that are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, low sugar and refined sugar-free, with that same crackling top and soft, gooey center… and somehow, they’ve become the ones that disappear the fastest.

Who’s tried them? Share the love 🧡

Happy Easter, friends 🌼

A quick announcement: we’re open all coming week except Easter Sunday the 5th.

With love,

Three years of showing up. Even when it was hard. Especially when it was hard.

Last year, we were so deep in the doing… we missed our own birthday. And this year, we almost did the same (13/03). If we’re honest, that says everything about this journey.

Because this was never just about being a “free-from” bakery. It was about raising the standard.

Every ingredient chosen with intention.
Everything made from scratch, on site.
Every recipe designed not just to taste good - but to nourish.

Built by hands that understand nourishment at its core.
Backed by years of clinical experience in nutrition and natural medicine.
Refined by listening - really listening - to you.

Our regulars. Our community. Our people.

You’ve shaped this as much as we have.

So this isn’t just a birthday post… it’s a quiet moment of gratitude.

We receive so much love daily - through your messages, your kind words in-store, your emails… and it never goes unnoticed. If you’ve ever felt that experience with us, sharing it in a Google review is one of the most meaningful ways you can support a small business like ours 🙏

And because celebrations should be shared - we’re gifting 6 boxes featuring two cupcakes - each of our bestselling vegan cupcake varieties (Pistachio, Raspberry, Rose Cream and Charcoal Black Velvet, Cherry Whipped Cream, Mylk Choco Cream) ✨

To enter:
• Follow us
• Like this post
• Comment what you love most about us
• Tag someone you’d share this with (the more, the merrier)

Bonus entries:
• Leave us a genuine Google review
• Share this post to your stories & tag us

Winners will receive a message to arrange for pick-up coming Thursday or Friday (26 or 27) 🏵️

Easter, reimagined - softer, lighter, more nourishing 🌿✨

As the season shifts and the light gently returns, we wanted to create something that feels aligned with it… grounded, intentional, and still deeply indulgent.

Inside our Easter Box:
• Mastic cheesecakes, layered with a delicate mastic cream
• The return of our mini crème brûlée tarts, back for this season - coconut sugar sweetened

Each box includes 6 pieces of each, crafted as two-bite treats - perfect for sharing, gathering, and slowing down with something sweet.

As always: gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and low in sugar - made to be enjoyed with ease.

Pre-orders open this Friday on our website 🌸

25/02/2026

Our Eid Ma’amoul Box is arriving second week of March ✨🌙

A timeless Arabic cookie made for festive moments (and honestly, perfect with your morning coffee too). Delicately crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth biscuits, each one hand-filled and moulded with care because some traditions deserve patience.

This year’s variety box includes:
• Date & sesame (no added sugar)
• Pistachio
• Dark chocolate

All vegan, no added sugar and gluten-free as always!

Naturally sweet, deeply comforting, and made as they should be - slow and intentional. Warm them slightly in the oven for that perfect, buttery texture and dust with icing sugar if you like it the classic way.

Pre-orders open next week. Limited batches only 🤍

Love is our daily language, but today the bakery is speaking it a little louder.

For Valentine’s, we’ve prepared a small constellation of specials:

6” Beet Velvet cakes layered with hibiscus-poached pears and cardamom cream - one inscribed “My Love For You Is Celestial,” and one left beautifully bare.

We’re also offering a limited number of Mini Love Boxes, each with two heart-shaped Beet Velvet cakes and two Hibiscus Tarts crowned with rose cream.

Vegan, gluten-free, and low sugar - always made with intention, always made with love. 🫶🏼

Basbousa is back as a special!

Fresh rosemary leaves are gently macerated with juiced oranges, blossom, zest, and whole spices to create the fragrant soak for our cake bites.

This season’s flavour celebrates pistachio in every form; silky house-made crémeux, pistachio paste, and fresh pieces layered for depth and texture.

Inspired by the flavours of home, especially with Ramadan approaching. We released it a little early… because the demand said so 💫

02/02/2026

The coming season unfurls in more shades of red and rose 🌸

Four layers, moving from tart to soft, from bright to honeyed - a gentle unfolding of flavour.

An airy, moist Paleo sponge with:�Rhubarb compote - sharp and awakening�Apple rhubarb curd - smooth, balanced, alive�Strawberry compote - sweet, familiar, heart-opening�Honeycomb cream - lightness to caress it all
�The kind of cake that IS both nourishing and celebratory. No flour and maple sweetened.

Available from next week for the season, while rhubarb is in its moment.

February is going to be bright, floral, and a little bit in love at our bakery!

Preorders for our Valentine’s Love Box open soon - our annual favorite, made with extra heart. Featuring 4 of each:

🫜Beet Velvet Cake Hibiscus-Poached Pears and Cardamom Whipped Cream
🌺 Hibiscus Tart with Rose Cream

Flowers are more than decoration to me - they’re messengers. Carriers of feeling, memory, and subtle harmony. This season we’re especially inspired by the gentle realm of flower essences, known for working symbolically and energetically, offering soft emotional cues that help the nervous system exhale.

A quiet kind of magic. A sweetness that lingers beyond taste… because love is a frequency, and dessert is one of its most delicious forms!

Greetings, friends, I hope the year has begun quietly and intentionally 🌺
�I’ve spent the holiday period refining: softer rhythms, clearer boundaries, and creations guided by seasonality and intention. With that, an important menu update to share.

As of this year, our menu follows a strictly seasonal rotation, available only during specific quarters and festive periods. This allows us to create sustainably, stay inspired, and offer you our best work - without overwhelm, especially in the current economic climate.

If an item isn’t listed on our webshop, it means it’s currently off-menu, and we’re unable to take orders for it outside its seasonal window - no exceptions.

I’ve also lovingly retired a few creations to make space for what truly resonates and sells best. While the artist in me could keep abundantly creating, the director ensures the lights stay on. Finding harmony between the two is the work now.

Thank you for your continued support and loyalty.
�And remember… distance makes the fondness grow 💛✨

Love,
Salma

A gentle reminder, we’re closed every Monday and Tuesday as always!

Wishing you a peaceful and blessed end of year 🍀✨

Dare I say it… this IS the best cheesecake ever.

Basque cheesecakes have always been my preferred dessert, but the usual overload of dairy and sugar? Absolutely not for me. So I recreated it: no dairy, made with an almond-based cream cheese, gently scented with mastic gum and vanilla, and only very lightly sweetened.

It’s got the iconic burnt top, the silky centre, and - according to customers - they can’t believe it’s free-from! A massive win as I find gluten easy to remove and substitute in recipes but dairy is a lot more of a challenge in terms of noticing a difference in flavour..

It’s been flying out the door, and stock is tight. Grab a slice while it lasts. Limited pieces are up on the webshop too.

I’ve been working on perfecting our pie crust, and at long last… this one rises to my sky-high standards.

A golden, flaky crust filled with spiced, buttery apples and a subtle hint of rose from our homemade jam. We blend sweet and tart apples for depth, then macerate them with rose blossoms for that extra lift.

Best eaten warm. We’ve already been moving plenty behind the scenes these past weeks… and now it’s officially available in the bakery and on the webshop.

When creating recipes, my foundation was always indulgence without compromise. For me, there wasn’t a gluten-free (let alone, also dairy-free or vegan) baked good I could enjoy without feeling heavy, dull, or just off. I stopped them altogether, unwilling to trade fleeting pleasure for days of digestive distress.

And then came our tarts and cakes 💫🍒

This chocolate cake, in particular, has become a favorite for many of our regulars, who often share it’s “the best they’ve ever had” and praise at how it’s “light, kind, and nourishing.”

It has 3 layers of fudgy chocolate cake, vegan and gluten-free, with naturally sweet, slightly tart raspberry compote and a delicate tang of hibiscus curd, finished with a glossy, unsweetened dark chocolate ganache. Sugar kept as minimal as possible, as we always do!

Feeling joy is the greatest nourishment and experiencing it without compromise is what we set out to create!

Our Black Sesame & Chocolate Keto Loaf is a quiet nutritional powerhouse. Black sesame is loaded with essential minerals, strong antioxidants like sesamol and sesamin, and plenty of healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats. Add in its natural fiber, and you get steady energy and support for blood sugar, cholesterol, inflammation, and overall metabolic health.

It’s also a great choice for anyone who prefers savory, balanced snacks over sugary treats. With solid protein and fat macros, it’s a smart grab-and-go option that actually keeps you full.

And the best part? It’s flourless, oil-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free - our cleanest, lowest-sugar item on the menu… and our founder’s favorite for a reason.

Simple, nutrient-dense, and seriously satisfying.

Our Sugar-Free Date Ma’amoul Cookies..

Generously hand-filled with Egyptian Medjool dates, spices and sesame. 100% and no added sugar.

Perfect for breakfast, pre-workout bite to fuel, a midday pause, or a festive indulgence without the sugar slip!
