Happy Easter30 March 2012 by Bun Bun
With the spring blossoms out and the sun shining, why not have a pre-Easter celebration this weekend. Who knows it might be dull and grey in a week’s time.
So get yourself down to Konditor & Cook, for some jolly Easter goodies. This year’s selection is the best ever.
From the cutest egg cup guinea pigs to melt in your bath yellow chocolate ducks and musical Easter eggs to almond packed Simnel cakes.
As a particularly wonderful treat I suggest a a trip to our store on Borough Market this Saturday.
Konditor & Cook’s shelves are stuffed to the gunnels with seasonal treats, then there will be a massive brownie bar and cup cake tower to get through.
all our Easter products are listed in our Happy Easter List

Happy Easter19 March 2012 by Gerhard
With Mothering Sunday & St Patrick’s Day celebrated, it’s time to look forward to the next big event in the calendar – Easter!
For this year’s Easter theme we imagined a jolly barn dance taking place. A place where all creatures great & small rub shoulders. Entertainment is provided by Dancing Carrots, digging away to the rhythm of Musical Goose Egg Maracas.
Our hares are dressed in their finest Friesan hides, luxurious feather eggs are on display, guinea pigs balance chocolate eggs.
It might as well be a ‘Mad Farmers Tea Party’, for we have Gingham Shortbread, Simnel Loaves, Easter Cup Cakes, Magic Cakes & of course Hot Cross Buns on offer.
All stores will participate in Easter Taster Events, giving you the chance to taste some chocolates, have go at decorating yourself or simply meet the boss (that’s me).
Our customers have excellent decorating skills, as shown in the image on the left. The cutest gingerbread bunny decorated at Konditor & Cook, The Gherkin
St Patrick's Day - Black Velvet14 March 2012 by Gerhard
It’s been dubbed the “Crack of Cakes’ for its highly addictive properties.
Guinness chocolate sponge topped with Baileys frosting – far less dangerous in some ways – yet life will never be the same once you’ve sunk your teeth into that layer of soft Baileys frosting – Feel the rush!
There’s no sweeter way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day or to treat your team this Friday: Call the cake hotline to place an order: 080 8141 1101.
