Daphne Schembri is the 25-year-old behind the scrumptious creations of Daphne’s Bespoke Bakes. She always had this love for cooking but there was a special place in her heart where the passion for baking lay. Daphne has been a chef since 2012 and has also lived and worked in the United Kingdom to pursue her dreams and learn more about this expertise!
Daph’s bakes is all about providing fresh, delicious bespoke (which means custom!) bakes and treats. When one visits her Facebook or Instagram page, they are greeted with a colourful variety of cakes, muffins, cookies – you name it! And what makes the brand even more special is that Daphne truly thought of everyone on the allergen spectrum. Almost all of the bakes can be made gluten-free, lactose-free and even vegan! No one gets left behind.
How it all started…
Daphne shared with The Third Eye that she has always wanted to open up her own bakery but some factors might have restrained her from doing so. When the pandemic hit, some decided to wait for the storm to pass but in Daphne’s case, she pushed herself even more! She worked eagerly to open up Daphne’s Bespoke Bakes and she now owns a little bakery from her own home.
Work in progress
Daphne is currently working on an Autumn giveaway – just in time to get all of us in the autumn vibes. Loads of delicious treats will be given for one to enjoy with his friends, family or, if you’re feeling a bit greedy that day, for yourself!
The local baker looks forward to collaborating with local coffee shops and small restaurants where she can supply and display her bakes.
Daphne shared that her favourite creation was by far an ocean-themed cake that she made for her nephew’s third birthday!
“It took me four days to finish it but the look on his face when he saw it was priceless!”
Future aspirations
The local baker would eventually like to take her talent and skill and showcase it to other parts of the world.
“In the next 5 to 10 years, I would like to move abroad and open up my own small bakery – keeping up my values of fresh, delicious and affordable bespoke bakes.”
While we must admit that we will miss her heavenly creations, we absolutely cannot wait to see Daphne following her dreams!
