Since news broke that a brand new bakery will be opening shortly in Caversham residents have been eager to find out what exactly the new establishment will offer. 

Jo Deacon, 37, who has lived in Caversham all her life decided to open her very own bakery which will also act as a workshop space.

Once the bakery is up and running it will situated at 47 Church Street, in between House of Cards and Superdrug. 

"We haven't got an actual opening date yet but it is likely to be the start of September now," she said. 

"We're mid-renovation at the moment and are really excited to welcome customers once everything is finished."

The bakery, aptly named BKRY, will have two sections with a downstairs and upstairs floor. The downstairs part will be dedicated to a takeaway coffee and cake shop. 

Mrs Deacon said that they will be selling cakes, treats, cookies, brownies, macarons, buns, hot and iced coffee along with other soft drinks. 

"We want it to be like a London vibe," she continued. "It will be modern and trendy, that sort of thing. We also plan to do takeaway afternoon teas."

The space upstairs will be used as a baking academy, but will also be open for other events. It will host special occasions, classes, and groups that attendees can join them for. 

They plan to invite different professionals to come and teach various techniques. These will include not just the art of baking cakes, but candle-making and other crafts. 

"We don't want it just to be a bakery," Mrs Deacon said. "It's going to be like a community space for people to use it how they want. 

"There will be cake decorating parties up there as well."

The upstairs section of BKRY will also house their own prep kitchen where Mrs Deacon will continue with her popular celebration cake business. 

BKRY also has a website where customers can order custom cakes. These include the particularly popular vintage-style heart-shaped birthday cake. 

"They can customise them on our website which has proven to be a huge success," Mrs Deacon said. 

"We are working from the home bakery at the moment but as soon as the unit is fitted we will be moving over to the unit."

She continued to say that the main items they will be selling at the bakery are the celebration cakes, but she is excited to try her hand at the takeaway small treats also.
