A canelé is a little French cake from Bordeaux, with a dark, crisp shell giving way to a soft vanilla custard centre, scented with a little rum — it’s one of those cakes that asks you to slow down for a minute.
We bake them just three days a week, and Friday is one of those days.
So if you’re coming by for your TGIF treat, these are a few cakes waiting too — whole or by the slice, depending on how much cake the day calls for.
Pop in or ring us from 7am.

At 3am, our morning baker starts.
By the time we open, this Old Fashioned Vanilla has already been baked, cooled and is waiting to be dressed for your pre-order and the counter.
Thursday is when we quietly get ourselves ready for the weekend — creams, fillings, supplies and all the things that make Friday and Saturday possible.
So, a little reminder: if you’re after a cake, PRE-ORDERS CLOSE AT 2PM ON THURSDAY, or when we reach our capacity.

Some things simply can’t be hurried.
A cake begins long before it reaches the oven. It starts with ordering butter and fruit, making curds and creams from scratch, baking each layer, and leaving enough time for everything to come together just as it should.
That’s why we ask for a little notice.
A gentle reminder that pre-orders for this week close tomorrow at 2pm, or earlier if we reach our baking limit. If there’s a celebration waiting on your calendar, we’d love to bake for it.

A bit of Wholesome Irish Baking
I have been singing from an Irish baking songbook this month. I always feel an affinity for Irish baking, perhaps I was Irish in another life!
My favourite bakers from Ireland are JR Ryall, Dee Rettali and Cherie Denham for all the wholesomeness and fortitude that they bring to baking. They have imbued our September travelling cakes with their personality.
Baked in charming little tins and made for the journey, our travelling cakes are available via post across Sydney and Australia-wide.
Post date is every Wednesday with Pre-orders close at 7am on Monday.
Quantities are limited each week, so pre-ordering is highly recommended.
Please note: flavours change weekly.

Every morning, Frances ices our Lemon Drizzle cake, then we leave it alone.
Four to five hours for the icing to set before a whole cake can leave with you or a slice makes its way to the counter.
While it rests, she then carries on dressing the rest of the cakes for the day, ready for all the pre-orders waiting to be collected.
A little reminder if you’ve got a birthday, family catch-up or celebration coming up — pre-orders close at 2pm tomorrow.

Our Lemon Coconut Drizzle is coming back just for next week. We’ll bake them on Monday, let them settle into their tins, then tuck them into the post on Tuesday, ready to make their way across Australia.
A small cake to send when you can’t quite be there yourself — or perhaps just one to keep close for a quiet cup of tea.
If you’d like one to travel your way, or send a little love to someone far away, you’ll find them at the link in our bio.

When Flour and stone opened its doors in 2011 we pledged to bake wholeheartedly for Love, life and happiness considering balance in our offerings.
While we advocate for lashings of butter in our baking, no bakery would be complete without a house muesli to offset this indulgence with fortitude. Today, our muesli sets the tone for many of our customers' days served in The Pantry alongside our house made yoghurt and poached fruit.
This Spring we are proud to be partnering with RESTORE to bring our muesli directly to your door with a special recipe adding toasted coconut and Bilpin bush honey.
Delivered in glass recyclable jars by Restore personally, this muesli is a perfect accompaniment to their Greek yoghurt, Jersey milk and juice.
You can head to our link in bio to discover all of Restore's wonderful offerings and how smug you will feel ordering such wholesome products delivered right to your door.

Sour Cherry Brownie Travelling cake
These were one of the first bakes I made for my market stall over 20 years ago now.
They gained a cult following for their combination of seriously dark chocolate and tipsy sour cherries that I soak in Armagnac. The result is a dark, fudgy and very grown up, although eating one may make you feel like a child again.

Almonds, Amaretto, and praline.
A travelling cake for the journey we make to discover ourselves.
Santiago
The road seen, then not seen, the hillside
hiding then revealing the way you should take,
the road dropping away from you as if leaving you
to walk on thin air, then catching you, holding you up,
when you thought you would fall - and the way forward
always in the end, the way that you came, the way
that you followed, that carried you into your future,
that brought you to this place, no matter that
it sometimes had to take your promise from you,
no matter that it always had to break your heart
along the way: the sense of having walked
from far inside yourself out into the revelation,
to have risked yourself for something that seemed
to stand both inside you and far beyond you,
that called you back in the end to the only road
you could follow, walking as you did, in your rags of love...
