I am passionate about providing a wide range of homemade, hand decorated baked confectionary.
About Me
My name is Stania, and founder of my bespoke home baking business ‘The Sugar Flake’.
I’m a mum of 3 boys (including twins) and quite simply just love to bake! I can and do bake anything and everything…
..However
Biscuits are my speciality. I pour my heart and soul in to my creations never taking a flavour or creation for granted. Not baking during the week somehow leaves me feeling incomplete!
My passion would always peak at Christmas time where each of my hand made, bespoke biscuits have I’m told always brought so much pleasure and enjoyment to friends and family alike. Being asked to create baking orders thereafter turned my festive passion in to a year-round activity which is where The Sugar Flake evolved from a hobby into what it is today!
I always say you can ‘taste’ if a cake or biscuit has been baked with heart and soul. It should ‘show’ itself in every mouthful.
I want nothing more than to have my biscuits reflect the love and passion I have for baking…and to share my creations with you!
Enjoy!
Welcome to ‘The Sugar Flake’, a bespoke small family business based in Paddock Wood, Kent and home not only to my family but to my mouth-watering biscuits of unique appearance and flavours, hand lovingly made individually and of course freshly baked to order using only the freshest ingredients.
I believe in using only the best available ingredients for quality and taste in my baking using free range eggs, real butter (not margarine) and the finest vanilla paste and luxury chocolate.
I am originally from the Czech Republic where baking is as much a way of life as pasta is to Italians or patisseries are to the French! All my biscuits are individually hand-made and strongly influenced by generations baking methods. Their individualism, elegance and flavour make them as much as perfect gift for your friends and family as well celebrations and special occasions (christenings, weddings, birthdays and absolutely at Christmas time!) The options are endless…
I am just so passionate about my baking and put my entire soul in to ensuring you will enjoy and savour my delights as much as I do creating them.
Best wishes.
1. How long is the shelf life of these biscuits?
The butter cream variety is best to enjoy within a week from the date of collection however providing they are stored correctly in a cool place away from any source of heat or the fridge, they can last up to 2 weeks. The non-cream filled variety can last up to 3-4 weeks if stored correctly. Some, e.g. spice biscuits, actually improve as they get older.
2. Are they suitable for people with allergies?
I am afraid the answer is No. All my biscuits have been prepared in a kitchen where allergens may be present as the vast majority of my biscuits contain nuts, eggs, flour and milk.
3. How quickly can you bake my order?
All orders require a minimum of 5 days turnaround from date of order confirmation.
The cut off point for orders are Mondays weekly by 5pm.
Providing I receive your order by then it will be ready for collection by Friday of the same week. I will of course confirm to you by email or call (which ever you prefer) confirming your order is ready for collection!
I will always want to avoid disappointment therefore please be aware that orders placed after the cut off time of Mondays 5pm I may well not be able to make until the following week depending on time availability – however please do contact me in the first instance and I will always see what I can do.
4. What are your packaging and delivery options?
I am happy to enclose your order in following ways;
- For an order of 12 biscuits I can place them in either a cellophane presentation bag decorated with ribbon
Or

- For order of 24 biscuits these will also be placed within a white presentation tote bag with see through window and decorated with ribbon as standard.
- For a larger order of 48 biscuits or more these will be placed in a purpose made white box to keep your biscuits flatter!
