With HÄRT

Did you miss out on our Okja Hazelnut Cinnabuns yesterday? 😟🤎

Don’t worry… we’ve got you. 😉

The next batch is already in the works and will be ready this Saturday.

Fluffy, gooey, hazelnutty, and very much worth getting up early for. 🥹

See you Saturday! 👀

We're taking dessert a little more seriously. 😆😅

We're working on something a little different behind the scenes...

Layers of rich chocolate sponge, silky chocolate mousse, and handmade chocolate garnish.

Simple in its flavours.
A little more indulgent in its ex*****on.

We're playing around with an elevated dessert range at the moment — beautiful little things designed for celebrations, dinner parties, high tea boxes... or honestly, just because you feel like making an ordinary day feel a little more special.

Still R&D.

But we think we're onto something. ✨

Would you like to see more of this side of with HÄRT?

A South African classic, with a little With HÄRT magic. 🇿🇦

The koeksister has been part of South African baking for generations — plaited dough, fried until golden, then dunked into ice-cold syrup until perfectly sticky, sweet, and delicious.

So, finally, our koeksisters are here.😍

And this time, they’re not just making a guest appearance.

You’ll find them regularly in-store and on Uber Eats from now on.

We wear our hearts on our sleeves. ❤️

In everything we bake.
In every detail.
In every little decision to raise the standards of vegan baking.

Because we don't just bake without eggs and dairy.

We bake with HÄRT.

This is what a happy HÄRT looks like. 💖

Hands busy, ovens working, bakers moving, and good things coming together.

I usually photograph what comes out of the kitchen.
But this time, I wanted to capture what happens inside it.

Busy. A little chaotic. Always baking. And always made with HÄRT. ✨

Some desserts are made for a Tuesday afternoon.
Some are made for a table full of people. ✨

We’ve been creating a few beautiful little things for those special gatherings.

The kind you bring out when you want to make an occasion feel a little more special.💖

Can you picture this at your next gathering?

Because we can.

And this is just a little sneak peak🙌

There was a cake that nearly made me quit.

Years ago, before With HÄRT had become what it is today, a mom walked into my little bakery.

She asked if I could make birthday cakes for her daughter.

Her little girl had severe egg and dairy allergies and had never been able to eat her own birthday cake.

How could I possibly say no?

At the time, those cakes baked in ice cream cones were everywhere, and she wanted them decorated as little unicorns.

I had never made cake cones before. I'd never even worked with fondant. My knowledge and skills were still very limited.

So I spent days making tiny fondant ears, horns and eyes. I baked every cone by hand and even DIY'd my own boxes so they could stand upright for collection.

I was so proud of them.

I put them in the fridge, went home, and came back at 4am the next morning.

I opened the fridge...

and every single one had collapsed. 😟

The moisture from the fridge had softened the cones. They were beyond saving.

The mom was due to collect them at 8am.

I remember sitting on the bakery floor in tears.

I felt like I had let that little girl down.

That was the day I genuinely questioned whether I was cut out for this.

Looking back now, I realise something.

Every baker has cakes that never make it to Instagram.

Every business owner has moments where they wonder if they're good enough.

The difference is what you do next.

I got up.

I started again.

I honestly don't know how I pulled it off... I think I've conveniently blanked that part out of my memory. 😅

But somehow, I did.

And that one heartbreaking morning became one of the reasons I obsess over testing, learning and never settling for "good enough."

Today, we make thousands of cakes, pastries and bakes every year.

But I still think about that little girl.

And I still think about the lessons The Gypsy Kitchen taught me, because man... there were MANY. 😅

Because she reminded me of something I never want to forget:

What we make isn't just cake.

Sometimes, it's someone's first chance to feel included.

And sometimes, getting it right means being willing to start all over again.

That's the HÄRT way. ❤️

If Friday had a flavour, we think it would be Biscoff. 🤎

Are you coming to visit us this weekend?🤔
We are open tomorrow AND Monday.
