Behind The Scenes At 280 Bakes

So, you've tried our cakes, but you want to know more. "Show me inside 280 Bakes HQ!!!" I hear you cry! Consider your request filled...

​Where is 280 Bakes based?

Well, we're incredibly local - if you're from Portishead or Bristol! Our HQ, where all the orders come into, is in Lawrence Weston, over near Avonmouth and the M5, just down the road from Blaise Castle. Lucky us!
​

​280 Bakes started with one domestic oven in one woman's (our Louise) own kitchen, and that's where the business has grown from.  All our bakers are based in Bristol, all baking from their own 280 Bakes (and soon to be Council) approved kitchens, and delivering all over the region.

Behind the scenes at 280 Bakes

All our bakers make cakes using their own domestic ovens, for that real 'home baked' feel. This is the oven at HQ - just your normal appliance, but a very special one! <3

Here are some (just some, I think some are on loan to friends!) of the cake tins we have here at HQ. A bundt tin - getting it's first use today! - brownie tins, loaf, cupcake, mince pie, mini loaf tins... All you could need to run a baking business!

We're big fans of silicone baking gear - this is Louise's favourite utensil, a silicone spatula. Stay tuned to the blog this week to see her using a silicone swiss roll 'tin' too!

As bakers, our kitchen cupboard always has a stash of goodies in it, not just flour and baking soda! Here, you can see a peak of Pulsin' protein crispies - yum! Not a great shot but you get the idea - we have some full shelves in our larders!

Have you tried our award winning Fairtrade banana cakes yet? When the bananas are put into the mix, Louise puts the sticker from the peel on to her fridge in 280 Bakes HQ's kitchen, partly as a reminder to buy Fairtrade again, but also to celebrate how many Fairtrade banana cakes we've been making for you guys!

Throwback Note: See that old school 280 Bakes magnet? That's a relic from when the company first started up 22 months ago, testing the waters with cake porch sales! #CompanyHistory, or what!?
