Bakewell croissant became a favourite for many.
We get asked what they have inside, and you can see here the generous amount of almond frangipane, and blackberry jam that goes in them.
This sort of pastry is called double baked or blind baked, and it is the only way of doing it. We shape croissants, we bake them, allow them to dry a bit, cut them open, fill them and then bake again until the frangipane sets.
It's perfect, because we are never afraid of having croissants left from the market, as they'll become almond or bakewell croissants.
And since we are here, we want to remind you that all the pastries can be pre-ordered online to be picked from either the bakery or the market, the only way to get anything from the bakery is by pre-order, we get people walking in asking to buy stuff and we keep saying only by pre-order.
You can build a pastry box with all your favourites and you'll receive them in a very nice cake box, perfect to impress your guests.
Pre-orders close 3 days before, for Wednesday the close day is Friday by midday.

We were 2hs in and bread was sold out, not long after pastries were gone.
We underestimated it a bit, but it's still very good.
Over Thursday, Saturday and today, always in the same spot here in the market, we made more than 400 sales.
This August has been our best month ever, it's also always a difficult month as team members go on holidays on top of being such a busy month, but they did amazingly well and they deserve it.
We are very tired, luckily we have two days off now.
South Molton, you are ❤️

Give love to your local farmers, we need them.
Our seeded loaf is called Waterers Seeded Load in honour of the Waterers Family, who you all know here in South Molton.
The story began right here, in the Pannier Market, when Fiona approached us and gave us a sack of her wholemeal flour, she said she wanted a professional baker to use it to show that their flour could make bread.
This was 4 years ago already.
We kept using it and we love it, as much as we love them.
Farmers are the most important link in the food chain, support them.

This week something new happened at Lucho Bakes.
We received two microbakers who came to learn from us Amy Bricknell and Nic from the Noisy Table Micro Bakery.
It something we wanted to do for a while, and now we feel we have the knowledge, the time, the team and the perfect place to do it.
It isn't a cookery school, it's not to come and learn how to make bread, but to improve what they do and how they do it. We learnt from our own mistakes, we improved, we created a fantastic team and implemented systems they are solid and make our lives easier.
They are growing their business and they hit bottlenecks and challenges and we might have some answers that'll help them. We went through what they do and have our point of view of what could they do different.
It was hands on, fun and intense. It's full on, they step in a fully working bakery that isn't stopping for the teaching. The rhythm of a bakery can be brutal and they saw what they want to do in the future and also their limits.
It was such an enriching experience for everyone, and we hope everyone got the most of it.
The feedback has been very positive so far, they said this is like nothing offered out there.
You can go for a working experience, where they'll put to do some tasks, you can go to baking classes (some of them like Wayne Caddy are phenomenal), our system sits in the middle, they decide how much they want to get involved, they decide their limits, and we share information of the insides of a business like ours that will be hard to get anywhere else.
Thanks Amy for the photos, such a professional job Amy Bricknell and thanks to Andreia Santos and Luna_ Lucho Bakes for their share in this. Megan 🌻 wasn't there as she was on holidays.

What a week it's been, we achieved our best week of sales ever, from North Devon Show, to South Molton Summer Fest, to Woolsery market, they were all very busy.
Big effort from the team to get it done, we all ended up very tired.
Thanks so much for showing up and supporting, it means the world

This week was a new milestone for us, and I can't show enough appreciation for our two members of staff Meg and Andriea.
They made a massive effort to prep the North Devon show, Thursday market at South Molton, plus all the wholesale.
Luna and I did all the overnight baking for both markets, but the credits go to them, as what they did is epic.
Being able to leave our bakery in their hands and come back with everything ready to be baked is priceless. That shows then level of commitment, and it reflects on the products we make.
The 4 of us put our hearts in what we do, we give 110% and this can be tested every time you eat something made in our bakery.
It's not always perfect, it's not meant to be. It's human grade made, using temperamental ingredients.
So please, show your love and respect to our two stars that are Meg and Andreia.
Meg will be tomorrow at Woolsery market.
See you there!
