It may have started with cookies, or it could have been her grandmother’s specialty butter tarts, but Kate Clipperton recalls her time as a child working alongside her mom in the kitchen.
“I feel like I’ve always been baking,” she says. “Growing up, both my grandma and my mom baked a lot, and as I got older I loved making desserts for family functions and friends gatherings.”
Kate’s Town Talk Bakery in Streetsville offers an evolving assortment of baked goods, sandwiches and soups, all made in house.
“We’re always trying new recipes and it feels wonderful when what you have created is a success (though it doesn’t always work out) and you get a positive response from those eating it,” explains Kate. “We have some really loyal customers who expect to see the same things, but then you also want to switch it up so we don’t get bored.”
Along with the sandwiches and baked goodness, Kate’s Town Talk Bakery offers meat-filled savoury pies, sausage rolls and quiche. They also sell small loaves of bread.
“A lot of it is trial and error and hit and miss,” says Kate. “With the Internet you can find all sorts of recipes and I rarely take a recipe and not tinker with it. You wing it because you know what’s going to work and what isn’t going to work.”
