The owner of a brand-new bakery in Caversham has said that owning her own physical store has been a learning curve from previously working from a website. 

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.

BKRY is situated at 47 Church Street, in between House of Cards and Superdrug, and sold out within the first three hours of opening last month on both Saturday and Sunday. 

Ms Deacon, who had previously run her cake-making business from an online store, said that despite her new venture's popularity, owning a physical cake shop has been a learning curve. 

"We've had a really warm welcome from the local community," she said. "It's been a big learning curve from owning a home bakery to now having a full-on bakery and a shop at the same time."

Ms Deacon went on to say that the team is now working hard to keep up with demand as their assortments of baked goods continue to fly off the counters. 

Upon entering BKRY you are immediately greeted with their assortment of sweet treats on a display table. 

Customers can currently choose from plenty of different options. These include fresh cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and macaroons. 

"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."

You can also buy a number of celebration gifts in the bakery, including your own custom cakes, birthday cards, and other fun small gifts. 

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.
