VEGANUARY - MEET THE MAKER: Linda from The Remix Bakery
What’s the name of your business? The Remix Bakery
Is running your business your full time job?: No
How long have you been running your business? Just over a year.
What inspired you to start doing what you do?: I’ve been vegan for 25 years so I had to learn how to bake vegan cakes because there was nothing available to buy back then. Over the years I’ve made all the family Birthday cakes etc and everyone has always said they were so delicious that I should start up my own cake business. When I had some time on my hands during lockdown decided to do just that!
What is your signature bake / cake / chocolate creation? : I think it has to be my stuffed cookies! They are huge and indulgent and super popular.
Are your bakes/cakes/chocs available online with UK delivery?: Yes
If you answered yes to the above, please add website below : Atm it’s order by DM on Instagram but hoping to have website up and running soon.
Would you say most of your customers are vegan?: I would say most customers who order from me directly are vegan but when I do my market stalls most are not and same applies to those who buy my bakes from the cafes/shops I supply.
What's your favourite Saturday night dinner or take away? : Definitely a tofu curry or lentil dhal With a glass or 3 of red wine!
Dream holiday destination? : I lived in Greece for 15 years before returning to Scotland and I try to spend a week there each summer, it’s the perfect beach holiday imo and the food is delicious. My son lives in Australia and my daughter in New York so I’ve been lucky enough to visit both of them too!
Favourite season?: Summer all day every day for me, I love the heat and I love the long days and light nights, however, it’s not so much fun when you’re baking with the ovens on full blast, buttercream and chocolate melting everywhere and a big red face under your hairnet, definitely not a glamorous job haha.
