Seasonal pastries by @populations.bakery

Made with Shipton Mill flour, stoneground white and Ølands from @gilchesters, and cultured butter from @theestatedairy. Each pastry is filled with Populations Bakery’s signature vanilla mix: Madagascan vanilla crème pâtissière with @zazouemporiumvanilla, whipped with crème fraîche from @nealsyarddairy, and finished with seasonal fruit compote that changes throughout the year.

Berry Croissant

Focaccia sandwiches made at the Corner.

Our wholewheat-rich focaccia is made with 100% organic stoneground flour by @populations.bakery. A blend of 30% wholegrain Cornovii wheat, milled from seven heritage wheats @thefoldgranary and 70% sifted organic wheat from @gilchesters.

Finished with @honest_toil extra virgin olive oil, sourced from small farms in Kyparissia, Greece. It brings moisture to the dough and helps give the focaccia its crisp, golden crust.

Baked daily on the mezzanine, then brought straight down to the kitchen, where our chefs make the focaccia sandwiches for lunch.

You can also pick up a large square from the bread shelf to take home, or enjoy a slice with your lunch from the counter. taken in Corner Shop 180 by @populations.bakery

New Weekend Special: Peach Melba Danish 🍑 🥐

Peaches, vanilla cream and raspberries. What’s not to love.
Unintentionally becoming a bit of a theme… traditional desserts turned into danishes.

Available every weekend in quite limited supply at the @cornershop180

As per, this pastry is a celebration of suppliers and flavours. Here is the breakdown (see a rather messy cross section on photo 3 📸)
Peach compote, our signature vanilla cream mix with whipped crème fraîche and creme pâtissière, raspberry compote folded through, topped with peaches and raspberries.

A sign of things to come - a croissant dough development test with a test plot of wheat 🌾🥐

This is our one and only batch of pastries with 50% stoneground Florence Aurora (at 80% extraction).

FA is a heritage wheat traditionally used as a bread improver. Dropped in favour of strong international wheats. It has been brought back by the initiative of @brockwell_bake and grown and milled by @gilchesters at @duchessfarms by @maxmiller.go and @duchessoscar. After a successful test plot, a full crop is being grown for this harvest. 👨‍🌾

We’ll be using this in our croissant dough next season and I’m very excited for it.

Over this year our croissant recipe has changed many times, it’s ever evolving. From wheat combinations to hydration levels. Having stoneground and heritage wheats in a pastry adds some complexity, but this is part of what makes baking such a stimulating challenge. And adds incredible flavour and texture to our pastries. taken in Corner Shop 180 by @populations.bakery

Last week of the cake! 🍫🎂

Today - bank holiday Monday it’s out at 12 noon.
Tuesday - Friday 3pm.
Still 1 per customer. Friday is the last day.

What was meant to be a week long celebration of Edd’s book launch - Chocolate Baking - that we hosted last month, rather snowballed into a bit of an internet sensation with incredible popularity that saw us having to limit cakes to 1 per person, have a seperate cake queue, and have a set time for it to come out.

It’s been quite the experience, in which we’ve certainly learnt a lot. We really had no idea how popular it really was until we temporarily took it off the menu. The amount of messages we have received about it has been rather a lot!

We’ve been praised for marketing, but it wasn’t really that cleaver, just few popular posts a lot of very great people who have been shouting about us for some time, and the most Instagramable cake created by @theboywhobakes.

Anyway it’s been a blast, but like all good things it must come to an end.

I can’t recommend Edd’s book enough, so if you miss it, give it a go yourself!

More cakes will follow.
