A note from the bench
About
I've been baking and teaching sugarcraft for the best part of forty years — first at a college, then at Pitts, and now from our own shop on Silver Street. Every cake that leaves the kitchen is made to order, by hand, for someone's actual day. We serve Trowbridge and a good few of the outlying towns and villages besides.
— Hilary Henley, founder & director
