Hey there!

I’m Keisha, a pastry chef and lecturer based in Somerset, UK.

I have spent the best part of 15 years behind a pastry bench, baking, developing, teaching, creating. The Pastry Bench is a place where I can share my passion for luxury laminated pastries and treats, drawing on inspiration from my professional career in London’s 5 star hotels and Michelin starred restaurants. Our collection of bakes not only highlights handcrafted skill but showcases my love for flavour, texture and the great produce found here in the West Country.

Whether you’re planning a brunch session or a cheeky treat for one, there is plenty to tickle your fancy in our ever-growing collection of bakes. (Explore our shop)
