Peaberries

Fancy a delicious hamper delivery the morning of your wedding?

We’ve been baking long before we opened Peaberries. From Eclairs and Cakes to Petits Fours and Danishes, we have baked them all, and we’re good at it. Having trained as a patisserie chef then working in several restaurants as a Sous Chef, we thought it was time to do something for ourselves, so we opened Peaberries!
