Cream-teas, cake sales and Coeliac awareness

May
14

Howdy peeps…

Next week (14th – 20th May) is coeliac awareness week, so we and our friends, are trying to help spread the word about what it means to be coaliac or gluten intolerant. Coeliac UK are a charity working to help improve the lives of those with coeliac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis through research, support and campaigning. Even if  you’re not gluten intolerant their website is well worth checking out for gluten free recipes and advice. www.coeliac.org.uk

Coeliac Awareness Week 2012

Keep an eye on our Facebook page next week as we’ve got 5 of our brand new Gluten Free Baking books to giveaway. Yes – you heard right – giveaway, (well, once it’s been printed!) If you’re not lucky enough to win one, or not willing to chance it, ‘Honeybuns Gluten-free Baking’  is now available for pre-order on our website for £14.99, and will be hitting the shelves of other retailers in June! Lottie here in the office was enjoying it a little too much this afternoon, her comments about the fantastic photos had us drooling and trying to tear the one and only copy we have here away from her… oooohh fisticuffs!

Honeybuns Gluten-free Baking

Not only is the book available to pre-order, but our Sconeybuns are now LIVE! By which I mean you can buy them from our online shop now… go on! They’re delicious on their own, and are both gluten and dairy free, OR scrumptious with lashings of jam and cream, (or cream and jam depending where-abouts you’re from). Packs of 4 cost £4.99.

Cream Tea Time!

 

Well we’re expecting (and hoping for) a little sunshine this weekend, which will get us even more revved up for the forthcoming pawfest… woo hoo! It’s less than a month to go now till the festival day on Saturday June 9th. Last year was brilliant, but this year promises to be even better with our very own Matt performing with his band Buzz! There’s also a massage tent this year, sounds good right?! Tickets are available online and at a number of local outlets – see the website. Children under 11 go free, all other tickets are just £16 with your money going towards the cost of rescuing, caring for and rehoming animals in need.

Pawfest

Time for a speedy update on production – well, with it being a short week as a result of the bank holiday I wasn’t thanked for poking my nose into the busy bakery to take a few snaps, but couldn’t resist getting closer to the delicious smells. And all for you public, i’m bringing the bakery to life for you (whilst putting myself at risk you know!) So, here’s Barry perfecting the art of liberally sprinkling almonds and cranberries on our very yummy almond moon. If you’ve yet to try one, it’s a polenta based bakewell with cranberry curd, cranberries and toasted almonds. It’s a Gold Great Taste Winner too you know! Mind you, i’d recommend trying it over taking my word for it  :)

Almond Moons

Almond Moons

Ooooh, why do I do this to myself? Think I need to do another almond moon taste test, just to check it is as yum as I remember. Polly, pop the kettle on please. Well folks thats all for now… stay tuned for next week’s episode :)

May Day Madness

May
01

Hallo folks,

Really hope you’re all well and not been too overwhelmed by all this rain – we’ve had some burst banks round our way, but not so much to put a stop to the making, baking and munching that’s been going on here.  Looking at the baking schedule for this week it seems that every single type of cookie and cake we make is being baked this week, just as well really seeing as we have another bank holiday on it’s way. I think I heard a small sigh of relief once the mini’s were all packed yesterday – they are quite fiddly to do. Mind you, what makes more work for us here, makes slightly lighter work for your wallet, and of course waistline!

Mini's all packed and ready to go!

Did you know that our best selling Chocolate Caramel Shortbread is now available as a mini slice? There are 6 gluten free cakes in mini versions: Almond Moon; Chocolate Caramel Shortbread; Coppice Cake; Heathcliff Brownie; Milk Chocolate Brownie; Snowy Hills, as well as our Cranberry and Pecan Flapjack (not gluten free due to the oats in the recipe). These are all available from our online shop if you can’t get hold of them from an outlet near you.  Online Shop.

 

Chocolate Caramel Shortbread Mini's

Of course, for those of you who are able to make it to visit us this coming Saturday, 5th May, they’ll be available along with the rest of our range to buy here.  We launched the Chocolate Caramel Mini’s at our last Bee Shack day in April, to the delight of those who feel that a regular sized slice is just that little bit too indulgent –  our mini’s are perfect as a lunch box or little tea-time treat.

So…  Saturday sees us involved in a little May time Madness! The Bee Shack is open 11 – 4 as usual for cakes, cookies, drinks, gluten free lunches and gifts. As a special treat to celebrate May Day we have the fantastic Samantha playing the fiddle from 2pm – possibly to be accompanied by the Honeybuns Maypole Dance Troupe** TBC!  There will also be a crafty corner where you can make and decorate headbands, Spring garlands and lucky spring charms using natural materials, ribbons and fabric. We’ve been collecting amongst ourselves in the office – please bring along any crafty bits you might be looking to re-home.

Goodies for Saturday's Spring Garlands

Competition wise it’s all go (again!) with our Queen Bee Tea Jubilee competition running until the 24th May. No purchase is necessary – just answer the question on our competition page at www.honeybuns.co.uk/queenbee  First prize is a Queen Bee tea party box containing a selection of Honeybuns cakes and retro tin, Emma Bridgewater Diamond Jubilee 1 pint mug and a selection of Talking Tables fun party table accessories, in total worth £120.

Five runners-up will each receive a fabulous retro Honeybuns tin filled with 12 individually wrapped mini cakes and an Emma Bridgewater Diamond Jubilee 1/2 pint mug, worth £40 each.

Queen Bee Tea Jubilee 1st Prize

What super duper prizes! This week marked a Royal visit from Her Royal Highness to Sherborne, our nearest town. How exciting! We know that some very lucky local school children were ushered into the town via high security channels to meet and greet Her Majesty. And can you believe it … the sun shone! Yes, after the ridiculous amount of rain we’ve had, the skies cleared and the sun shone for the occasion. Rightio… time for a team meeting, which includes some taste testing of the very freshest batch of Sconeybuns – oh poor us! They’ll soon be available through our online shop – watch this space.

Sconeybuns fresh from the oven

On that note… i’m off till next time. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Saturday! Toodle pip…

Wet, wet, wet!

Apr
26

Hallooo,

I’ve realised I always seem to start off with a mention of the weather… gosh how British! We can’t get away from the fact that it’s been tipping it down here, so much so that we’ve almost needed to paddle our way into the office. Waders anyone?! Despite the wet weather (which has been great for the plants), it’s been a good week. Several of us have been out on the road meeting clients, and pleased to hear that our loyal customer base is continuing to grow. Additionally, we found out today that having exhibited at the NEC food and Drink Trade Fair in March, we’ve been ranked in the top 20 best stands, yay! Ok, enough trumpet blowing!

Right then… Preparations are underway for our upcoming events in May and June. On the 5th May we are celebrating May Day with activities including Traditional Spring Wreath and Lucky Spring Charm making, suitable for all ages, with fiddle playing to entertain you. Who knows whether it’ll rain or shine, so come prepared either way! As always it’s a family friendly day out, with the added bonus of lots of crafty activities and live music. Samantha from the Cabin Fever Crew will be our Fiddler on the day… find out more about her and the crew at www.cabinfevercrew.co.uk

Bee Shack May Day Festivities

Charlotte has been a busy bee doing all the millions of things she does so brilliantly, some of which are detailed in her Bee Green Blog. Read it to find out more – better still come and see us all at Naish Farm on May 5th.

Bee Green Blog

 

Just look at these cuties… Not ours I’m afraid, but the newest team members alongside our great friend Beverley at Muddy Dogs. The very talented Beverley designs and makes beautiful bespoke bags, using vintage textiles and high quality leather and traditional techniques. Take a peek at her website www.muddydogs.com or visit her Barrington Court Workshop.

Mother hen and chicklets

 

This Saturday our gorgeous Graham will be manning our stall at the Gluten Free Food Fair held by Bournemouth and Poole Coeliac Group. ‘Tis free entry, so come along 1pm – 4pm to St Michael’s Church Centre,  Blandford Road, Hamworthy Poole, BH15 4JQ   Don’t forget, it’s not long now till Coeliac Awareness Week – whether or not you’re coeliac, it’s an opportunity to spread awareness. More info from http://www.coeliac.org.uk/

Our beloved and pampered pooches are pictured here looking a tad dismal as they daydream of  lounging around in the sun… I reckon they’re thinking ahead to Pawfest on June 9th!  Pawfest is the fab family friendly festival held by Somerset and Dorset Animal Rescue to help raise funds for the vital work they do. For tickets and further info see the website www.Pawfest.co.uk or their Facebook Page. Honeybuns are running the tea tent again this year, which we’re really looking forward to. We really really hope to see as many of you there as possible. It’s a great cause, and a great day out. Tickets cost £16, under 11′s go free!

Daydreaming Doggies..... PAW...FEST!

I too am now daydreaming of sunny blue skies, rocking beats, drink in hand and a slice of coppice cake… mmmmmmm Well, I suppose a cup of tea and a squashed coppice second will do perfectly well today :-)

 

Till next time, take care out there!

April Showers

Apr
19

Hallo,

Don’t know about where you are, but here the weather has been true to April tradition, with chilly starts, glorious sunshine and sudden downpours. Most of us seem to have been caught out in the clothing department at some point this week by not being sufficiently prepared for sudden changes.  Not only has this been a human affliction; alas the broad beans which are looking strong and sturdy, and the teeny tiny carrots have had to brace themselves against some frosts… come on carrots … we’re rooting for you!

Teeny Tiny Carrots - Come On!

Have you seen the gorgeous things on The Wise House’s website? We absolutely love their stuff, in fact there’s a wish list of sorts developing at an unhealthy rate here in the office! There are just a few days left for you to get a free Honeybuns cake and 10% off your order if you visit and order via their website before Tuesday 24th April. Go, go, go – don’t miss out!  Throughout May our Tinker Tuesday prizes will include some of their gorgeous goodies in addition to the tin of Tinkers.

Our Tinker Tuesday partners for next week are the Little Book of Dorset – a gem of a book which features some little known and fascinating facts about our beloved county. For your chance to win this and a tin of Triple Chocolate Tinkers, all it takes is to answer the question on the competition page on our website. Check it out from 9am each Tuesday morning.

The Little Books Series

If you’re at a loss for a Saturday activity (until our next Bee Shack day of course), then why not take a peek at wherecanwego.com Simply type in your postcode, village or town for listings of upcoming events of all kinds. Here in the office we’ve found we rather like it.

Those of you who have liked us on Facebook may have already heard about our friendly pheasant who comes for supper each evening. He joins Posh, Pecks and Elton for a spot of chicken feed – we think he favours the cake crumbs really. Anyhoo – we’re looking to name him …  fitting suggestions are welcomed, so far there are a few tickling our fancy. If you haven’t already, find us on Facebook, if you already have, be sure to send us your suggestions and share us with friends and family who you think might like us.

Peckingham Palace

As a small artisan bakery we pride ourselves on our handmade cakes made from carefully selected ingredients by brilliant people who pay close attention to detail. I’m currently in the process of putting together some photo albums to give you all a better idea of what goes on int he Bakery itself… here are our Almond and Slightly Salted Pistachio Cookies.

Almond & Pistachio Cookies

 

Till next week, take it easy peeps.

It’s all about the Tinkers!

Apr
12

Hallooo…  Hallooo…  Hallooo…

Tut tut, it’s been two weeks since last posting – apologies peeps, but with all the bank holiday fun, time hasn’t been on my side. Still, we’ve managed to pack a lot into our 4 day weeks! Before Easter we had a day with the team from Jamie magazine – they came to do a photo-shoot and interviews. It was a real privilege to work with the fab four: Dan, Andrew, Sarah and Bianca. Charlotte absolutely worked her socks off, not only baking to perfection for the photos, but providing the whole Honeybuns team and guests with a super tasty and nutritious lunch.

Thank-you Charlotte!

Our Superstar Chef Charlotte & Food Stylist Bianca hard at work

We also welcomed some smaller visitors from Holwell Nursey School ‘Fun Shack’ Holiday Club who seemed to enjoy exploring the sandpit, garden and even the field. Look what they discovered in Tinkers Dell…

Tinkers Dell Tea-party!

Last Saturday we opened our Bee Shack Cafe doors for an Easter line up. Great to see all of you who came, and especially some new faces who we hope will become regulars. We took some of our first book orders too, and are currently working on plans for our book launch party in the summer. Yay! That’s not all we’ve got coming up though. Next month, 5th May, will see May Day celebrations taking place in the Bee Shack (and garden). We’re thinking flower garlands, wreaths and baskets. We also hope to have fiddle playing to get the party started. If you have ideas, or would like to get involved, contact us at thebee@honeybuns.co.uk   www.honeybuns.co.uk/beeshack    Really hope you can make it!

Have you heard the Triple Chocolate Tinker song yet? It landed in Matt’s inbox a week or so ago and has been kept under wraps until George had a chance to put together a Tinkers slide show. We’re all a little at a loss for words, but send our very deepest thanks and huge appreciation to our Sick Squid www.facebook.com/pages/SICKSQUID/141094991175

See the  Video on our YouTube channel:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89igJZN8e9E

Triple Chocolate Tinker Tune

Let us know what you think of it by posting comments on YouTube, Facebook or Twitter. If you fancy going a step further and creating your own little video, of course featuring something yummy and Honeybuns, please do! We’d love to be surprised :-)

This week’s Tinker Tuesday prize consisted of the compulsory tin of Tinkers, with the fantastic addition of a pair of tickets to Pawfest on June 9th. This music festival is held by Somerset and Dorset Animal Rescue to raise funds for the work they do, and after attending last year, we can recommend it as a great day out.  This year they’ve got Toploader headlining, with lots of other ace bands, including the fan-tab-u-lous, and very local, Buzz. There are another pair of tickets up for grabs again next week – remember there’s no purchase necessary, all you need to do is answer the Tinker Tuesday question at http://www.honeybuns.co.uk/competition

In May it’s Coeliac awareness week, so will let you know what we are up to to celebrate all things delicious AND gluten free, and what we’re up to to help spread awareness. More on that next time.

Until then… Toodle Pip!

Thursday 29th March

Mar
29

Halloooo…

Yaaayyy… some super Spring sunshine :) We are all loving this weather which well and truly makes our rural setting just come to life. We’re loving seeing the blossom coming out on trees and the magnolia buds ready to burst. The animals are all out there sunbathing; yes we’re jealous of the dogs, fish and horses. Caught Bee snoozing earlier today… my appearance provoked a quick roll in the dust before she got up and shot me a truly miffed look. Ooops !

Snoozy time for Bee

 

It’s all been crazy busy here over the last week as Charlotte and Vicky spent the weekend at the Food and Drink Expo in Birmingham. They came back late on Tuesday with big smiles after receiving many compliments on the stand and all the delicious samples. We hope we make amazing cakes, and it’s always lovely when others confirm this. Our new Sconeybun (part scone, part bun) was a big hit, just how we like a product launch to be!

Our Sconeybun is launched!

Sally had a fantastic long weekend in Cornwall – what perfect weather! She enjoyed herself very much, and has returned wearing her summer wardrobe (meanwhile i’m still in a woolly cardigan). Sally is now super busy with online shop orders, so possibly won’t thank me for reminding you, BUT not long left now to order your Easter Treat tins - last orders Tuesday 3rd April.

Order your Honeybuns Easter Treats

We’re delighted to now offer international deliveries for all our friends overseas, full details are available at our online shop. Now you can send delicious treats to friends and family – just allow a little extra time (and a few extra pennies I’m afraid). UK mainland order postage and packing remains free for orders of £20 or more, so no increase there, unlike the rather large Royal Mail hikes announced this week!

Preparations are well underway for next week when we’ve got special visitors from Jamie Magazine! www.jamieoliver.com/magazine They’re coming to spend the day with us, find out all about Naish Farm, the Bee Shack and the team… we’ll be featured in the May/June issue… how very  exciting! We’ll obviously let you know when copies are in the shops! Click on the logo below to see a brief article in the current edition of the magazine.

Jamie Magazine

See Honeybuns in the May/June edition!

In our first April Tinker Tuesday competition we’ve got not only a tin of Tinkers, but a basket of goodies from Vanilla Bazaar, including vanilla extract, powder, sugar and their new vanilla caviar!  They use Madagascan vanilla to create a range of ridiculously good products, see their range at www.vanillabazaar.com

Tinkers and Vanilla Bazaar goodies

We’ve got lots more exciting competitions coming up – keep your eyes and ears open for more info on our Jubilee celebrations in conjunction with Emma Bridgewater, yes you heard right, tis gonna be a good’un.

Till next time…

Thursday 22nd March

Mar
22

Hallooo,

Well it’s trying to be sunny and spring like outside, indeed there’s loads of activity as we’re settling in lots of new fruit trees and bushes. Apples, pears, plums, peaches, some hazelnuts and walnuts too. Even on dull days we’ve got some indoor flora in the shape of our teapot narcissi – they’re just about to flower! We may abduct them from the office in order to enjoy them in all their glory at this weekend’s trade fair, the Food and Drink Expo at the NEC in Birmingham www.foodanddrinkexpo.co.uk

Teapot Narcissi in the Honeybuns office!

Charlotte and Vicky are in prep mode, packing the truck within an inch of it’s life! Well… better safe than sorry. And the more tasty nibbles we can pack in the better. To meet the demands of the show in addition to usual orders, the bakery team have been working especially hard making a huge variety of different products every day this week. Nina’s been sneaking about the bakery armed with a camera, so check out our facebook page for more photos of our cookies and cakes in production www.facebook.com/HoneybunsBakery You can see more on our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/HoneybunsBakery

 

Triple Chocolate Tinkers fresh from the oven!

 

A special Easter competition sees Honeybuns and traditional confectioners Hope and Grenwood teaming up to offer some scrumptious sweet treats. We want to know what makes you a happy bunny! Enter via our or their facebook competition page www.facebook.com/HopeandGreenwood.ED Check out their truly delectable website www.hopeandgreenwood.co.uk

Hope and Greenwood and Honeybuns Easter Prize

Our Easter feast tins, if I do say so myself, make a fab treat for chocaholic friends and family. At £19.99 they might bit a little pricier than a chocolate egg, but you get a gorgeous pistachio green tin packed with chocolate brownies, tinkers and caramel shortbreads… in theory they should last a while… hmm!

Easter Feast Tin

Rightio… lots to do to so better dash. Wishing you a lovely weekend (don’t forget the clocks change!)

Honeybuns Bee Shack, almost open

Mar
01

Hallo,

After a little break away- ’tis lovely to be back in the Shire- it now truly, truly feels as if Spring is just around the corner. There are beautiful snowdrop carpets on the verges and our daffs are just about to come out. Yay!

Beautiful snowdrops

Beautiful snowdrops

Honeybuns-wise, we’ve been busy on the finalising of the Honeybuns Gluten free baking book. It’s coming out in June this year, thanks to Anova, our publishers www.anovabooks.com I think it’s fair to say we had no idea how involved the final tweaking stages would be. It’ll be worth it in the end though & the proofs do indeed look beautiful. Thank you to everyone here at Honeybuns & Anova for working so hard & for so long on it.

Honeybuns gluten free baking book

We’re also getting ready for a trade exhibition at the end of March up in Birmingham. I’m thinking lots & lots of daffodils for the stand- bringing a little bit of Dorset to the NEC….. It’ll be good to catch up with customers new & old & get feedback on our new lines- the Sconeybuns & our new mini chocolate caramel shortbreads. www.foodanddrinkexpo.co.uk  During our trip Northwards, Vicky & I will partake in the opportunity to try out new curry houses. We’re a bit partial to a Madras & a few poppadoms!

Vicky on the Honeybuns stand at Lunch 2011

Following a little revamp, the Bee Shack reopens this Saturday for the first time in 2012. Graham is painting the final finishing touches as I type. We’ll have music, nibbles, gifts to buy and hopefully a few rays of sunshine sneaking out from behind the clouds.  A Bee Shack ‘cuppa and slice of Honeybuns scrumptiousness will guarantee a warm glow for those of you who are able to join us between 11 & 4. www.honeybuns.co.uk/beeshack

Please see below for a pic of our swift & delicious trifle made from Honeybuns Coppice cake – a film of how to make this and other product videos will appear on our Youtube channel soon. Will keep you posted on these, in the meantime check out our delissimo range here … www.honeybuns.co.uk/products

Gorgeous trifle

Sending you all sunny spring-like vibes and hope to see you on Saturday.

New Scones

Feb
02

Hallo,

Charlotte’s patience in the Bee Shack test kitchen has paid off & we’re now over the moon with our gluten free scones. They look like rustic little rock cakes & taste heavenly with or without lashings of jam & cream. We’re launching them at a trade show coming up in March & then they’ll be finding their way online & into independent cafes & delis soon after. The week beginning the 13th Feb we’ll be looking for willing tasters – we’ll be popping full details of how to apply & what’s involved in being in our “Honeybuns Nibble Club” on Facebook that week. You basically get to taste test every 3 months & we do ask you to be really honest.

Honeybuns Gluten Free Scone

We were really chuffed to get a mention in the Daily Telegraph for our vintage Valentine cup & saucer sets. They really are a quirky & charming alternative to the trusted red rose option…

Honeybuns Valentine teacup 2012

I do struggle a bit with Valentine’s Day- too many memories of being shoe horned into an over booked, under ventilated restaurant (pronounced in ‘Eaveeee French accent) & feeling like a bit of a gullible lemon basically. Much better to be snuggled up at home with Benedict Cumberbatch…..on the Telly.

Speaking of the Scrumptious Mr Cumberbatch, we have series one & two of the utterly faaaabulous new Sherlock Holmes to giveaway. He’ll be in amongst the Tinker prizes in February. You may have noticed that we’re pimping up our Tinker Tuesday prizes- by linking up with other artisan minded companies. At the mo we’re working with English Eclectics www.english-eclectics.com In a nutshell -by entering our Tinker Tuesday competition you’ll now stand to win even more lovely treasure. www.honeybuns.co.uk/competition/index.htm

Tinker Tuesdays

Animal wise here on the farm & nature reserve – our feathered friends keep thinking it’s Spring. We’re concerned that the current cold weather has caught them off guard- so we’ve beefed up the feeders accordingly. Our motley herd of rescue ponies & horses are plumptious- they have a 24/7 buffet of sweet meadow hay to fend off the cold & they’re all looking really well. Posh, Pecks & Elton- our fancy bantams are enjoying the scone trial rejects greatly. Our bantams look faaaabulous but are quite haughty. Next time I reckon we’ll go for some L plate big fat hens…

Posh, Pecks and Elton

Posh, Pecks and Elton

Wishing everyone a super snug weekend from us all here at Honeybuns,

Em x
