Liza Bakes to open new bakery and store


Chesterfield Champion, Liza Bakes has recently relocated to Clay Cross, occupying the space of the old Orwins Butchery Shop on Main Street.   The bakery and retail store officially opens this weekend (Saturday 1st February)

Phyllis Bown and her team have been producing cakes in Derbyshire since 2014 for a range of clients from local businesses and farm shops to the general public requiring special celebration cakes.

The new bakery will produce a range of cakes, tray bakes, drip cakes, cupcakes and handmade biscuits, utilising as many locally sourced ingredients possible. It will of course also be the new home of your favourite signature baked goods, including the infamous and “Great Taste Award Winning” gluten free orange polenta cake, fruit & ale cake, chocolate beer cake, Victoria sandwich and carrot cake to name a few.  The expansion allows development of the business,including a room for gluten free products for the ever growing gluten free market.

Phyllis Bown, Owner of Liza Bakes said “This ideal Clay Cross location will provide more room for the team to flex their uniquely creative take on fresh baked goods as they continue to push the boundaries of baking.”

The new location will also be the home to a cake shop.  The glass fronted  shop, has been painstakingly remodeled as a Victorian cake shop and named affectionately Harriet’s Couture after Phyllis’ Grandmother, who not only taught Phyllis to bake, but who also inspired her to develop her own range of signature bakes.  Harriet’s Couture will be selling Liza Bakes Cakes alongside an extensive range of their decorated wedding and celebration cakes.

The official opening of the bakery and retail store takes place on Saturday 1st February 2020 from 9.45 am – 3.00 pm, with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10am to officially open the bakery.
