No restrictions on tastiness as bakery responds to crisis 

Honor Walters ... people can go to our website to order them, and then come and collect at their convenience

IN response to COVID-19 restrictions the aptly named Sweet and Flour Bakeries in Nambour and Mapleton offer customers new ways to enjoy delicious baked goods.

“We have found that people are particularly enjoying our take home bakery packs,” said owner, Honor Walters. 

“In the very early stages, we put together a pack that included a bottle of milk, a loaf of fresh bread and cold pies that could be reheated,” she said. 

“We then went on to add packs of sweet goodies like croissants, donuts and tarts. The great thing is that people can go to our website to order them, and then come and collect at their convenience, so there are fewer people in and around the shop.”

This has been extremely well received and no wonder, as Baker, Jason Walters’ speciality is sweets. 

“Jason has been baking for almost 30 years,” Honor said. 

“He is a very old school baker. Everything is made from scratch, using high quality, fresh ingredients. 

“There are no shortcuts at all. Traditional baking is a bit of a dying art, and many bakeries today don’t make their own pastry or tart cases. 

“Everything that comes out of our bakery has been made by us. 

“We have a range of gluten free sweets too, including Brownies, banana bread, cheesecake and orange and almond cake.”

Keeping up with demand for beautiful quality baked goods, Jason and Honor have added typical, convenient comfort foods to their website. 

“We are selling our family-sized meat pies, mushroom and goats cheese quiche, and quiche Lorraine,” said Honor. “They are the perfect size for a family meal.”

Just in time for Mother’s Day, Sweet and Flour will have delicious cupcakes that are beautifully decorated for Mum available in a 6 pack, for $12. A perfect little morning tea treat for Mum. Order online or through the shops by Friday.
