Dune Bakery

….IS BACK!

Covered in mosquito bites but we’re back! See you Thursday 19th from 9am. What Specials should we do this weekend? Leaning towards apples….

Hey, it’s me.

We are taking a wee break next week. Been a very busy start and we need some time to get some work done on the shop but also to switch off for 5 minutes (as if I’ll be able to do that 😂). Hope to see you this weekend. Its the banoffee special, back by popular demand. We probs won’t do it again….for a while anyway.

Ciao (me trying to get into holiday mode)

Are tarts better than croissants…? 🥐 Should we add tarts? Do you like tarts? White chocolate whipped ganache is tidy on a tart…Tarts

Weekend Specials

🍌 Banoffee Pie - Cross laminated pastry with custard, banana, shortbread, caramel and a white chocolate cremeux

🍦 soft serve ice cream with blondie pieces (or on its own as a vegan option) available from 11am-3pm

What a view 👀 we are considering doing a very small number of pre order boxes at the weekends. These wouldn’t be customisable so let us know how many pastries and which items you would like to see in a box.

For locals we are considering doing some separate pre orders where you would be able to come in 15 minutes before we open so you could order coffees too.

I dunno, this might not work/the logistics might be a nightmare but we are just thinking of ways to make things easier for you pastry creeps. Let us know your thoughts

Another game of is it vegan or not? Guess below

Been tweaking things constantly. Little things like bulking time, very specific dough lock in temps and increasing mixing temp by 1 degree etc trying to adapt to the humid weather. Always room for improvement

These sold out fast. I’d get down early tomorrow….

🍋 Lemon curd custard cruffin with passionfruit dark chocolate ganache (vegan)

Tomorrow Special

Along side all the classics and the Pecan maple and white chocolate pain suisse, pictured above.

WEEKEND SPECIALS

🍦 Soft serve with morello cherry compote and white chocolate blondie chunks

🥐 peach, vanilla, lemon and honey compote with an oat crumble and crème diplomat on top of pistachio Frangipan. All inside our crispy laminated pastry.

Please tell your friends who can’t read 🙃

We’ve done a lot of shuffling about and trying to adapt but we need a day to do a big clean down and clear out before a busy August 😅

Tomorrow will be your last chance to get our special: Almond and lemon frangipane, cherry compote, cherry crème diplomat and oat crumble inside one of our laminated buns 🍒

Back tomorrow from 9am, who wants one of these flaky treats?!

Our busiest weekend so far. I can’t believe the queues! We are going as fast as we can but I appreciate you waiting

It’s been super hot this week, rolling has been a nightmare but we’ve managed to get some decent results 🥐

We have loads of pastry for tomorrow so we hope to see you from 9am

Weekend Special will be a variation on this Eton Mess we made earlier in the week. Should be out around 10-10:30 after we whip up some Italian meringue to go alongside the pre baked meringue pieces

Wee note: We have a new till system at the shop so you can now see your total before tapping your card. It has a tip option….dont freak out, we are mostly takeaway so we aren’t gonna out you for clicking no tip. The panic on peoples faces sometimes 😂 if you do want to tip, that’s obviously very generous, I never take tips it all goes to the staff in the hope they buy me a “worlds best boss” mug, been waiting 8 years…

I can’t explain to you how busy it has been! We are still waiting on our second oven getting installed but we’ll have even more pastry than last weekend. Please come early to avoid disappointment.

Next week we will be quickly closing in on 200kg of pastry dough a week, easy breaking the 1200+ pastries, which doesn’t include off cut batches, cookies, cakes, blondies, puff pastry etc. That’s a lot of rolling! If you keep coming we will keep increasing our capacity as much as we can 👌

We’ve been open 2 weeks now but our croissant recipe has changed a good few times already. A few more tweaks left but this batch is looking good 👌

Thanks for all the support so far. We are working round the clock to make more each week. We’ve got a huge list of exciting things we want to do so keep your eyes peeled!

See you on Friday from 9am 👋

It’s quite the view….

Thanks again for today, we will be doing iced coffees until we get our machine fixed on Tuesday. This week we will be trying to increase production in the mornings but until then we do our first bake very early and then try to restock around 11 or 12. Focaccia sandwiches are usually ready around the same time.

Our pastry is getting better everyday as we get used to the space, the best is yet to come!

See you in 10 hours SQ! 😅

P.S these are our vegan pain au chocolat

Another disastrous day 🥲 our coffee machine has broken and we can’t get it fixed until Tuesday so we won’t have any hot drinks Saturday/Sunday/Monday. Hopefully you’ll still come down and get your pastry fix.

I’m just as heartbroken as you, I’m up at 5am with no caffiene 😥 I’ll let you know if we manage to find someone who can fix it sooner
