Our Ingredients

Our ethics and ethos ::
At The Small Bakehouse, we don't really agree with eating over processed, mass produced food that contains only the cheapest ingredients for the maximum profit; food that is made with no consideration given to health and well being or the environment.

Instead, we use the real thing. We feed you exactly what we feed ourselves..... only what we eat at home with our family (and Me-ma Gee has really high standards!!)

We endeavour to bring you cakethat looks fantastic, tastes delicious AND that nurtures your heart and nourishes your soul.

We only buy from trustworthy sources, locally, fresh and in season and we think and plan carefully how to minimise our carbon footprint and maximise our positive output.

Family kitchen

We bake with....

The best - pure organic butter, eggs fresh from our neighbour's farm, madagascan vanilla pods, fair trade foundation chocolate and cocoa, raw beetroot juice instead of red food colouring, organic irish oats, local honey from next door's orchard, homemade dulce de leche caramel, maple syrup, lemon curd,

And we do tell you about everything that goes into the mixing bowl. It's written on the label; no extras, no fillers, just what it says.

We wrap with.....

Paper and string - sustainable, renewable, reusable, recycled or biodegradable and compostable packaging such as glass preserving jars, cotton and hemp string, wooden birch forks, brown craft paper bags and boxes, sugar cane and palm wood plates,

And we will make to order so that we meet your exact individual needs and minimise waste.

We intend to build a better more sustainable future.
