TIFFIN & CO BAKEHOUSE’S FESTIVE BAKES
If you’re entertaining this festive season, if you’re looking to give the gift of delicious cakes or you’d just like to treat yourself, let us introduce Tiffin & Co Bakehouse’s Shannon Riglin whose new festive bakes are, in a word...
Delicious! S
OMETHING smells amazing...! Upon turning up to meet one of Lincolnshire’s newest luxury confectioners, it’s clear we’re in for a treat. And surely enough, Shannon Riglin’s studio is full of the latest products she’s created as part of her Christmas range, ready to offer to those seeking festive treats for guests to enjoy over the season. Her showstopper is a stunning looking four-layer marbled chocolate cake heaving with ganache and chocolate curls.
‘That must have taken ages!’ We remark, but Shannon’s been baking since she was a youngster and assures us it’s just a case of utilising her experience to approach even the most ambitious bake with patience and attention to detail. You could give Shannon the credit she deserves... or... if you were feeling particularly nefarious, you could just pass it off to guests as your own creation. Either way, Shannon’s just happy that hundreds of people this Christmas will be enjoying her ranges of tray bakes, blondies, cookies, cakes, cheesecakes and cookie pies. And it’s a nice change of pace from the rigours of academia, like the masters degree she completed at the University of Lincoln last September, just prior to setting up her business, Tiffin & Co Bakehouse. “I’ve lived in Lincolnshire most of my life and have always had the ambition of baking for a living. Previously, I’ve baked for family and friends, but I knew it would be a leap of faith to turn a personal passion into a business.” “After pursuing a Business Studies & Management degree with the Open University and then completing my Masters, we were in the throes of lockdown and I finally had the time to set up a business. I’ve designed the branding, made the website and set about creating a range of products that I thought everyone would love.” >>
