My little baking business has outgrown my home setup.
We were then given a deadline to move to bigger premises so we could get the certificates we need to continue operating.
For months now we have been planning the bakery of dreams where you could come over any day and there would be fresh breads and pastries on demand.

But…
Given the current situation with power cuts getting worse and never any better, it’s been really hard to do my job.
Like most businesses, it starts with the passion but then reality strikes.
Going commercial, for me, is going far from the joy of making everything with my own hands. Also, we can’t take on the cost of building a bakery from scratch with the power backup system it will need.

So, if going bigger is the only way I’m allowed to operate, unfortunately I will have to close down.

It was not an easy decision and I write this with a heavy heart.
I’m extremely proud of myself for how far I’ve come with this small business with all the long hours of day and night working on my feet.
It was a great pleasure to welcome you to my home every week and get to know your family and friends.

On the photo, the last loaves out of the oven yesterday at 13:44 (16 minutes before the power went off).
We started baking at 2:30 but still had to sit and wait from 6 until 10:30 as the power was off again.

So goodbye, for now.
Love,
Tati

With stage 6 load shedding the whole week, the menu for tomorrow is very small.

There was no time for much prep this week with the few hours of electricity during the day, so I decided to focus on the breads.

Please send me your orders on whatsapp so I'll know how many loaves to make 🥰

A bit late but here it is 😅Wish I could say I might still add to the menu but load shedding isn't cooperating.Besides th...

A bit late but here it is 😅

Wish I could say I might still add to the menu but load shedding isn't cooperating.
Besides that, we didn't have electricity all day yesterday here in Longacres so my prep is very delayed 😩

Send your orders to whatsapp and I will get back to you in between the kitchen work
And don't forget Coffee Shack will also be here 😄

The first ones out early this morning

Good morning 😄

Here's the menu for tomorrow!

Naughty Norman broke a toe and had to go for surgery today so I had to keep the workload more manageable for myself this week with a smaller menu.

See you tomorrow from 11 for the usual delicious carbs 🤪 and great coffee from Coffee Shack!

I am back and ready to get my hands in dough again 🥳

BUT…
My sourdough starter “Maria” isn’t ready yet.
She needs a few more feeds to get back to life after these past weeks hibernating in the fridge.

So tomorrow there’s no bread, unfortunately.
Next batch is coming out this Friday along with a smaller menu of pastries (and maybe cheesecake?).

Please send me your bread orders for Friday as soon as possible so I can prepare enough! 🥖

74 loaves out today (and it wasn’t enough!)

Gonna miss my bread mixing routine. There’s just something magical about turning flour, water and salt into a big fluffy loaf of delicious bread! 😍

But right now I need some rest 😅

See you soon!
Can’t wait for another crazy and fun Friday with all of you 🥳

Don’t miss out on my last bread bake before this baker goes on vacation 🤩On Tuesday I’ll have bread! Send me your orders...

From engineering to pastry, with a Brazilian twist

Cakes and desserts were always a big thing in our house. There was just nothing as exciting as a birthday so we could order an enormous cake that we could enjoy for the whole week.

Moving from Brazil to South Africa in 2018 as mechanical engineer but without a job, I've started baking as a way of keeping myself busy. I've joined the French Pastry course at the amazing La Petite Patisserie, followed by Master Cake Decorating and started selling my baked goods at a local market.

In 2019 I joined the Patisserie course at Silwood School of Cookery to change careers for good and become a qualified pastry chef. I had the most amazing experience learning from inspiring women at the school and at two of the best professional kitchens in Cape Town and after a year of hard work, I was the top student of the Patisserie course that year.

My business is now based on a weekly menu that changes according to what is fresh and in season, bringing the tropical flavours and Brazil's favourite recipes.
