The Baker behind the brand!

-

Hi there! 

I’m Bobbie, a rustic baker based in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. 

I have always loved baking! No matter what kind! Even just simply watching baking programmes on Food Network, anything baking related, I am fully involved! 

My solo baking journey started while I was living in Nottingham in 2021. While we were still in weird Covid19 times, however I wasn't one of the banana bread bakers. 

For my 29th birthday my boyfriend bought me my first ever stand mixer - Yep! I had been going old school, bowl and wooden spoon up until then! and now, I wouldn't be without that glorious piece of machinery! 

Now, as much as I love baking, I have never been able to take it to a full time venture. In my everyday life I work in Human Resources and have done for many years. Baking is very much done any time I have a free patch of time or if I have an upcoming occasion and it means I get to bake something for someone else - I love baking for other people! It's very much turned me into a feeder!

I applied for GBBO in 2022 and managed to get to the interview stage, but then heard nothing more. I've been tempted to apply again but I feel I still need further experience and I still have plenty more trial and errors to face.

So why a blog? This blog is going to be my little corner of the internet where I share my own recipes, hacks and anything else that may come into this quirky little mind of mine. It is something different for me to focus on and to be proud of.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you find something here that sparks joy! šŸ’–

Love Bobbie x

Not baking related! But I do like to cook also! This is a very simple cheat salad.  If I forget my lunch at work I wonder down to Nero Caffe and I purchase a Chicken & Mixed Grain Salad. I love this salad! But it is rather pricey, especially alongside a coffee!  I searched the internet and couldn't find a recipe for it or anything actually related to it, so I managed to replicate it perfectly.  Here is how I make it... Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes Servings: 1 serving Author: Olivia Margetts of Bobberty Bakes Ingredients: 1 handful of mixed salad leaves 1 handful of diced cucumber 1 sundried tomato diced 1 sundried pepper diced 6 olives 1/4 cup of couscous 1/4 cup of chickpeas 1/4 cup of boiling water 1 small chicken breast Salt & Pepper 1 heaped tbsp of Tzatziki 1 heaped tsp of Mayonnaise Method: 1. If using an oven, preheat to 200 degrees. If using an airfryer, preheat for 3 minutes at 180 degrees.  2. Coat the chicken breast in salt and peppe...
