It’s a while since I have been as excited about anything as I am about this - On Sunday 25 April from 10-2, myself, Tarunima Spasia and Mel are baking together and for you, just for the joy of it and with profits going to Hibiscus Initiatives. It’s been collaborative and kind, easy and inspiring to work with these women. They share generously and work hard and I’m so proud to call them my friends and to learn from them. Will share some pictures over the next few days of the food everyone is offering - everyone is making what they love and what they know best; it’s the very best of our hearts and kitchens for you. Hoping to see some familiar (and much missed) faces on the day - do come and say hello if you can make it to East Finchley!

You can preorder some items on the website margotbakery.co.uk/place and find the full menu there too

I’ve been testing and updating formulas and processes for everything these last few weeks but especially the sourdough croissant dough. Finally getting somewhere, today the pastries look beautiful. There’s no queue/short queue atm if you’re local and want one of these

Seeded sourdough. It’s not Geronimo, but maybe it’s better...

Some in tins and some not. We open at 8.

Ignore what it says in my book. Best way to make rugelach is by putting the filling on long rectangles, chill, stack in layers of 3 and cut into smallish but imperfect triangles . I’m sure you knew this already.
It’s always possible to make things better and to keep learning if you try

*with pistachios for tomorrow specially for Mother’s Day

We are open tomorrow for Valentine’s Day and to celebrate our 5th birthday (my god, 5 years!!!) from 9am-1pm. We have bread as usual and pastries and many special and delicious things the team have made! Come for gattò di patate, heart shaped shortbread with raspberry jam, raspberry croissants, choc chip bundt cakes with caramel and rhubarb almond tart. We will have more Valentine’s gingerbread hearts available and coffee to warm your hands (arghh, it’s so cold atm!!) looking forward to seeing you, thank you to our customers and all those who have come through our doors (or to the doorway!) for these five interesting and wonderfully challenging and satisfying years
