✨ Tuesdays ✨ Are for Reading ✨

Honestly, I finally finished a book last night that I've been reading for AGES and, I cannot express the joy I feel having finished it now. I've found the biggest struggle at the moment is time for these sorts of quiet comforts, it requires a calm mindset, no time pressure stresses, and ... Birdsong... A lot of birdsong 😂

So although you can't all be off on a cottage holiday in the Cotswolds right now, I do implore you to find your situation where you can take those quiet few moments to turn a page or two ❤️

I've heard a Howleys pairs perfectly 👀

So grab your book, grab your coffee from us and go sit in the park, by the water or even on the sofa and just read ☕

No oven? No problem... 🍋✨
I promised I wouldn’t be defeated by my lack of oven.
She did behave today for a mixed box selection, but she’s still not reliable enough for open baked orders just yet.
But LOOK at this…
Lemon Meringue Millionaire’s Shortbread
Say that 10 times fast 😂
A buttery lemon shortbread base, topped with lemon caramel and a white chocolate ganache, finished with lemon curd swirls, lemon meringue pieces and a little meringue kiss on top.
Available to order now 🤍
2 slices — £8
4 slices — £15
Collection from Calshot.

Yesterday I spent wandering Wi******er with my boyfriend and his daughter; we got coffee, found the Wi******er City Mill (National Trust site but free to enter) and their cute lil jungle out the back. Chased the river through the city and followed some ducks accidentally 🦆

I'm off for my holiday today but we've got the lovely covering Bean today and Abbie the rest of the week ✨☕ You're in good hands 🙌

A little Bramble & Butter update 💔
This is not the post I wanted to be writing so early on, but unfortunately I need to temporarily close my baked goods books while I sort out an oven issue.
After only 18 months, my oven broke and Currys carried out a repair around 3 months ago to replace the heating element. Sadly, that repair has now failed, and although I’m being told this is a “new fault”, the reality is that my oven is currently producing unpredictable and inconsistent results.
As much as this is absolutely devastating, I can’t confidently send out bakes that aren’t up to the standard I want Bramble & Butter to be known for 🤍
For now, I will be pausing orders for baked goods until this is resolved.

The good news is I can still offer:
✨ Millionaire’s Shortbread
✨ Cheesecakes

So I’m not disappearing completely — just pressing pause on the oven-based bakes while I navigate this very frustrating little obstacle.
I’ll also be putting the weekly giveaways on hold for now, and I’ll update you all as soon as I’m back up and running properly.
Thank you so much for all of your support, patience and kindness already. It means more than you know 🤍

✨ SMALL BUSINESS HILLS I WILL DIE ON ✨

BUT from a hospitality business perspective 😂 I have to admit, I had a chuckle making this 😂

Apologies for closing the Bean at 1 today, Abbie had an appointment to get to and I was slinging brews over in Poole for their Cancer Research UK Race for Life 🙌

We will be donating 20% of profit to this immensely important charity, as we do with ALL Race for Life events that we cater for 🙂‍↕️

We also managed to snag some last minute Bramble & Butter cookies which went down an absolute storm today 🍪

Abbie is open tomorrow in Hythe like normal 12-4 so make sure you pop down and say hi, grab yourself a brew and some sunshine ☀️

We’re back in the kitchen 🤍✨

After a quiet week catching my breath, Bramble & Butter is back baking today — and we’re starting with a few delicious things.

Today’s kitchen plans include:

🍪 a brand new cookie flavour
✨ a Millionaire’s Shortbread surprise
📅 and later today, June’s release dates

I’m planning ahead a little more this month, so alongside custom orders, I’ll also be doing a weekly release of bakes available to order.

To start us off for the week commencing 1st June:

🍋 Lemon Drizzle Cake
Light, lemony sponge topped with a delicate lemon crunch, with the option of buttercream decoration.

Perfect for this warm weather — fresh, bright and not too heavy.

Big loaf — £15
Mini loaf — £8

The rest of June’s release dates will be shared soon 🌟

Hope you’ve all had a lovely bank holiday. I’m excited to get back into the swing of things this week.
