Extra mature Christmas Cakes available to order
I’m baking on Saturday for collections from my home between 2pm and 4pm. I’m in Hoole Village and if you haven’t been here before I will send directions when I confirm your order.
If you want to buy my bread in town, call in to The Neighbourhood Bakehouse on Saturday. It’s in Upper Northgate Street where The Granary used to be. It’s owned by Catherine, whom you might know from Baked in Hoole.
I won’t be supplying Just Footprints this week or next as lockdown has made footfall too unpredictable. Hopefully we’ll get back to something approaching normal in December.

My 11 months-matured, nut-free, hand-made-with-love Christmas Cakes are now on the brandy and are getting seriously boozy. I sell them by finished weight at £15 per kg including a cardboard gift box for larger cakes (+/- 1kg). You can choose a plain cake to decorate yourself or a cake finished with your choice of fruits and nuts (as shown in the picture). I also have little cakes that I make in baked bean tins. These are popular gifts, especially for older people. They cost £4.50 – £5.00, gift-wrapped in cellophane. There is a small reduction on all prices if you supply your own tin when collecting your order (means I will supply your cake/s without any kind of wrapping). I will advise you on storage to help you decide the date on which you wish to collect (or receive delivery of) your cake. £5 deposit secures a larger cake. No deposit needed for the individual cakes. Please order early, especially if you want a cake that weighs less than 1kg.
SAVOURIES
All will keep in your fridge until Wednesday 25 November or can be frozen.
Savoury Brioche Tart with tomatoes and basil or with broccoli and stilton. Whole rectangular tart – £13 (approx 30 x 20 x 2.5 cm). Half rectangular tart £7. Quarter rectangular tart £3.60. (No round tarts this week.) One quarter is sufficient for two portions.
Individual potato-topped pie with cheesy leeks from my garden. £3.20 each or £6 for 2.
Parsnip and cashew nut roast (2 portions as a main meal) £6 each or £11 for 2.
