Cherry Blossom Bakery
We’ve all got the baking bug these days, but often don’t have time to make our own creations. Hooray then for Cherry Blossom Bakery in Derry city. This is a family-run business that aims to combine traditional baking and cooking with modern patisserie and country wholesome food.
Gareth Kelly has 5 years’ experience working with top chefs. For his part, his brother Shawn has ten years under his belt with some mighty fine pastry chefs. He’s a dab hand at everything from scones, sodas and wheatens to his trademark Guinness and dark chocolate cake with Bailey’s sour cream, pistachio crumb and peanut butter parfait. Yum!
Sweets and breads aren’t their only shtick, though. They do an array of wholesome eats like homemade pork, leek and cheddar sausage roll with homemade brown sauce and the ultimate bacon sarnie with Grants ham, back bacon, bechamel sauce and cheddar cheese lodged in artisan sourdough toast, topped with ketchup their way.. You have to see it to believe it.
They also have a mobile bakery and coffee shop. That’s in a 24 seater bus. Portable pastries and Johnson’s tea and coffee. What’s not to like?
