The Honeybuns Cookie Jar
Hallo,
I’m sorry about the blogule lapse. We’ve been busier bees than usual lately. We’ve been having a lot of fun working on our Honeybuns packaging-
It is taking a little longer than anticipated-. because we keep on having new and irrestible ideas. Two of our bakery team are also trained and experienced graphic designers-illustrators – so the cookie brainstorming sessions have been brilliantly creative. We are so very nearly there.
With the products themselves – we are now finally over the moon with all the three flavours. The apple cookie was incredibly tricky to peg out but we had our final tasting seshy today – accompanied by diggerbucketfuls of tea. Our pals Chris & Em Beswick were tasters of honour & critiqued our offerings. Chris felt that the Tinker needed a thick coating of dark choc rather than the drizzle ziggy zaggy pattern we had plumped for. Naturally we deferred to Chris – he is not to be hoodwinked on anything biccie/cookie related. The resulting chocolate enrobed Tinker is magnifiquey!
We’ve also been working on the lipbalm branding and we will defo have some to giveaway in May – thanks to the hard work of Filberts Bees at nearby Muckleford. If you’re going to Badminton Horse Trials this May then do print this blogule off for a free lip balm or free slice of cake (while stocks last – we do tend to run out before the end of a show!).
If you pop onto www.honeybuns.co.uk/shop you can currently buy our MINIs & tins. For the rest of the range you can go to the most luscious www.notonthehighstreet.co.uk/honeybuns. Soon we’ll have the cookies and other Honeybuns faves up on the www.honeybuns.co.uk/shop – please do keep a lookie out. We’re far tinier than many people think – currently there are just 18 of us – and just 9 full timers. This includes bakery, packing, officey & design!!
This is why sometimes we do things in little bursts-. just like this blogule. We all wear many different hats and our business truly is a labour of love.
We welcome everyone to our next Bee Shack day which is on Saturday, 2nd May. Please see www.honeybuns.co.uk/beeshack for more info. We’ll be popping a voucher for a free cake into the Blackmore Vale on Friday, 1st May.
Wishing you all a marvellous week. I’ll endeavour to blog again in a week or so.
Please see pics below of the fun we’ve been having at Honeybuns. From pony patting to cookie photo shoots!
Muchios love, Em xxxxx
