Umpleby's Bakery & Café

As promised we will be making and selling pasties today.

As it is the Lenten Season and also since today is Palm Sunday I thought it fitting to put  lamb in the pasties instead of beef.   They will be coming out of the oven around noonish.  The other twist I put on my pasties is that I use puff pastry instead of short crust pastry.  They are flakier and more flavorful as a result I believe.

In light of the interesting news coming out of the newspapers from the UK we will be making traditional Cornish Pasties this Sunday!   I cordially welcome the PM and the Conservative MP’s to come on over and reacquaint themselves with them as well as observe how a small family owned business works in the great town of Hanover!  With a name like Umpleby I can assure them that I have the heritage of making a decent pasty going for me!

Here is the NYT article   If my bakery was in England I would be very anxious on how this all turns out.  A 20% VAT (tax) on take away baked goods such as pasties and meat pies?  Is the government out of their collective minds?  That would be a ” game over” law to the bakeries relying on take away sales!

For the rest of you 99%’s  I certainly welcome you to come by as well!

This is classic workingman’s food and dammit it they taste good!

Hopping Down the Bunny Trail!

Easter is about a week and a half away believe it or not!

We will be closed Easter Sunday but that doesn’t mean you can’t stop by Saturday and get some pies, desserts or breads for your Easter celebration!

Place your orders now for what you are interested in.  Our dessert menus are on our website.

For Passover we will make sure there are plenty of gluten free coconut macaroons as well as gluten free chocolate souffle cakes in the case!

Happy Easter and Passover!
