A Local Baker With Super Handmakes Cakes Worth A Snoop

These are the best snoops to write. A little gift that when the recipient stumbles across it you know it will make them smile knowing someone they don’t even know, a random customer loved their work and wanted to share the experience. There’s something really lovely about any individual brave enough to rent a small space in a small village and begin selling. Bam. Just like that word begins to spread about the new bakery in village whether the cakes are beautiful or no so, people begin to talk.

It’s how I found out about Youcef at Crookies Bakery, a friend told me about him at a dinner out and encouraged me to go and try his cakes.

When I entered the shop I was greeted with enthusiasm and gratitude, the bakers energy is infectious and it was a pleasure to be in his small shop as he guided me through the variety of cakes, pastries and cookies available and all made by him.

The strawberry tarts I purchased, with freshly made creme anglaise were delicious and much better than anything you would find in the supermarket, not expensive either for handmade and a very generous size too.

I also tried his pan au chocolat and they too were delicate, buttery, crunchy on the outside and chewy in the centre so I’ll definitely be back to try something else, and sample more of the delicious handmade treats.

I am always inspired to see individuals turn their talents into business and I hope to help spread the word about Jacob and his cakes with a little snoop.
