A wee word about the Bentley Road Baker and her gorgeous premises.
Sara is the only baker at the head of her independent business. As a busy mum of four she has taken her business from strength to strength supplying events as well as selling online and delivering all over North Somerset. Her bakes are exquisite and made with love… and sugar!! Over the pandemic her countryside premises offered families and folk a place to gather, play and gorge on cake. It put her bakery on the map and she has been forging forward ever since. I’m delighted to be bringing you my Footstool and Upholstery workshops in conjunction with her.
