Meet Faye Palmqvist

Pastry chef, ingredient expert, and seasonal baking advocate.

I believe baking should be flavour-first, ingredient-driven, and deeply connected to nature. My journey has taken me from professional pastry kitchens to teaching home bakers how to create desserts that are thoughtful, refined, and packed with flavour.

I help you bake with confidence, knowledge, and a passion for ingredients. Whether you're mastering classic cakes or experimenting with seasonal flavours, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

It's Time To Change...

Over the last few decades many harmful practices have become embedded in the food industry. Thankfully, for compelling health and environmental reasons, there is a growing movement back to recognising the importance of cooking with good quality natural produce.

I am an advocate for this important movement, not least for the benefit of our daughter Neve.

It's a no brainer! Good ingredients are better for us, better for the environment and make food taste better!

So my cooking and baking is based on using quality ingredients with sound technique to deliver real flavour.
