Tuile Bakery …

…A branding, logo and shop front design project, based in the heart of West Kirby - the beautiful coastal town I’m proud to call home!

This place makes my heart full every time I walk past, it’s one of my all time favourite design jobs.

Every single item that Michael and his team lovingly make fresh each day that they are open (wed -sun) are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.

I’ll be forever grateful for this opportunity. 🥰

International Women’s Day ✨

My husband and I have two kids (and a dog). They are all my world. ❤️

I wanted a job with flexibility, with (not as much) mum guilt, to have an understanding boss who doesn’t judge me for needing to take the day off to look after them when they’re sick, to be able to do the school drop offs and pick ups. To be there as much as possible. To also show my kids the importance of hard work, equality, confidence and happiness in the work place.

So I started my own business, and have never looked back! 🙌🏻

…too cheesy?? Soz about that! 😬🤣🫣

The logo acts like a sneak peek into the kitchen, a team harmoniously working hard and crafting together. I wanted to make a space that is something unique and different. Watch the warm bread roll out onto the shelves or tomorrow’s doughnuts being shaped. It’s all part of the experience when you visit our bakery and to see the fantastic work our bakers are doing. Or if you want to see me up at the ungodly hour of 3am you can do that as well!

Branding, logo design, plus a set of spangling new business cards for my client, The Hand Surgeon.

This has very different corporate style, compared to my recent jobs. I love working on a mix of styles and business branding preferences, it makes each day more interesting! 🤓

Tuile Bakery | Logo + Branding Design…

When Michael asked me to help design the branding for his new bakery I jumped at the opportunity.

The brief was to design a clean, simplistic logo, with subtle nods to baking.

Tuile (prenounced ‘tweel’) is a classic French style wafer, so deserved a fancy French calligraphy typography to match.

The logo border follows the lines of crimps from a fluted tart + brandy snap basket.

The colours are calm, classy, and synonymous to baked goods. The teal adds a level of subtle vibrancy and chic-ness!! (Is that a word?!)

I loved working on this so much…and love visiting the bakery even more, as the quality of the products are amazing and I urge you all to go asap.

My favourite is the custard tart, the almond croissant and the classic croissant.

Go now…You won’t regret it…

(Actually, you need to wait until Wednesday, as it’s business hours are Wed - Sat 🥰)

But I’d suggest you run, not walk as they sell out fast each day.

10/01/2024

A new year, a new set of goals, some new big exciting design projects already booked in, plus lot of fun things in the diary with family and friends. I CANNOT wait.

One goal is to post more often … let’s see if I stick to it! 🫣🤞🏻

The fabulous Tuile Bakery and their story. Please give it a read…

The story.

Been putting this off for almost 4 months now, but I think it’s time to put some faces to the business. This photo was taken on the day of the opening, 12th June. Left to right: Katherine, Jess, and myself (Michael).

I’ve been cooking professionally for 15 years in kitchens and doing everything from outside catering, bakeries, patisseries, cafes, restaurants and hotels. I would list the biggest highlights in my career as The Chester Grosvenor, Sticky Walnut, Burnt Truffle and Baltic Bakehouse.

Tuile is essentially a showcase of all the skills I’ve learnt on my “culinary journey” if you want to call it that. The ethos is making everything from scratch as I have done in all my previous jobs before. So what better way of showing a raw product made from start to finish than an open plan bakery to see it all unfold.

I’m joined by my wife, Katherine who’s also a mum to our 2 wonderful daughters, Lily and Sophia. She’s on this journey with me with a background from retail and hospitality. She’s leading the sales, in charge of the coffee and also pitches in with the pastry prep. On top of being a full time mother, she’s my rock and I wouldn’t be able function this business without her.

Jess was my Kitchen Porter back at Burnt Truffle in Heswall. If you ever needed someone reliable, he was the guy who was honest and trustworthy. Jess didn’t have a pastry background to begin with, but within 4 months, he’s responsible for most of the croissant production, doughnuts and buns. Couldn’t be more proud of him.

More recently we’re also joined by our newest member, Katie who is a keen baker, eager and passionate as we are. It’s a growing team and we have huge ambitions to do more!

Yesterday I travelled back up North and visited where I started studying Audio Visual Media Studies with Media Technology a whopping 23 years ago!!!

I have SOOO many amazing memories from my uni days, plus an awesome set of friends for life. ❤️ Loved going back…but was gutted to find that my halls of residence is now a car park! 😁
