Gluten Free Baking
Hellooo,
Trish & I had a good trip out down to Paignton to visit a very impressive wholesaler operation. It rather popped our humble Honeybuns HQ into perspective! Their offices were awesome & they had lots of enviable (in a nice way) warehousing space-well they had at least 4 enormous warehouses! Trish & I rocked up in our woolly jumpers & wind blustery hair & both felt like a couple of country mice. We think they liked the range of H’Buns stuff & the directors were going to have the BumbleO pizza warmed through for their lunch. We wait with baited breath-.you can never really tell how these things have gone until they either order or-they don’t!
On the way back home, we popped into a cafe & Trish had a cream tea which she said was lush. I did not dare to indulge as I need to fit into something a little less country mouse for our biggo meeting in Londinium tomorrow-MUST Remember to brush hair a little more thoroughly. Actually- just must remember to brush hair. When we arrived at aforementioned grandiose HQ this morning I discovered a little bit of hay in mine-that’s animal- early- morning -routines pre- work for you!
Hopefully Char & I will fare OK tomorrow when we venture into the Big Smoke.I’ll let you know how we get on.
We also picked up our final BumbleO packaging today & it looks fab. Really different form our Honeybuns brand but still very eyecatching & quirky.
We’re taking it with us to the all important presentation.
Animal wise: they are eating us out of house & home!!! I brought the canines back a Cornish pasty to share & they loved every last Cornish morsel. I’d better save the last one for Matt or there might be a slight mutiny.
Horses are eating their heads off in this new cold snap. I’ve got to pop out & do their tea in a mo.
We’re now working on another new gluten free cookie recipe- will not be launched until wee’ve got the BumbleO up and running but it is DELISH. Espresso coffee, toasted hazelunts, dairy free kosher chocolate etc etc. Really nice & gooey too. We’ll be sending trial samples out when we get back from Japan.
Our firend Moira from the award winning & brilliant Dorset Pastry Co. called us from San Fransisco yesterday to let us know our cakes were going down a storm at the Fancy Food show. We’re very much looking forward to following up these American leads as we feel Honeybuns could do well over there. ‘Exciting and a bit scary’ to coin a phrase from Wayne’s World 1.
See you soon, Em x
