Homemade by Lizzie & Bekki is a very small, some might say, cottage industry style affair that pretty much does what it says on the tin. Based in Upwey, we are Lizzie & Bekki (also known as the 'Baking Birds') and we create speciality home baked and hand made goods, making the most of the wealth of fantastic produce available to us here in Dorset.

It has been suggested that we ask if people would like to nominate us for the Taste of Dorset Awards 2010 - how excited are we?

We'd be hoping for nominations for the Best stallholder at a farmers of producers market and Best Bakery Producer (both categories).  This is the link if you're inclined to give us a vote - thanks  very much!! www.thisisdorset.co.uk/tasteofdorset

 

If Bekki's first attempt at the Cow Pie bread roll don't persuade you - nothing will ... a masterpiece I think we'd all agree .....

 

 

 

As well as some of the more traditional baked goods, we delight in fashioning many more experimental creations such as rhubarb & cardamom cake and homemade onion marmalade & goats cheese pizza. Our food is inspired by season, local produce, books, countries, films, music, and our own impulses, fancies and wild imaginations. Rest assured, there is never a dull moment at Stable Cottage HQ!   Check out 'Out of the Oven' which has been updated to describe some of the best of our Summer selection! 

We sell directly through the Dorset Farmers Markets, and we and our rather colourful and sometime ramshackle stall can be found once a month at Bridport, Sherborne, Poundbury and Sturminster Newton and twice a month at Wareham. Each month we change the ‘menu’ to reflect the season as far as possible, and give you and ourselves some variety. There is always a wild selection of cakes, breads and savoury and sweet scones. 

As well as hawking our wares at the farmers markets we also supply a number of cafes, restaurants, pubs and the village store with cakes, jams, chutneys, bread and scones. Plus, you can also find us ‘in the kitchen at parties’ where we will do the homemade so you can party without the hassle-and if you would like a cake for an ‘occasion’ we can do that too! Last, but not least, if you want to try us out you will also find us cooking at a number of antiques fairs, including Osmington, the Corn Exchange in Dorchester and Wareham, where we produce hot and cold meals such as full roast dinners, French beef stews, savoury tarts, salads and, of course, many of our baked goodies.
