Cat Keylock plans sweet revenge against mass-produced baked goods and pre-packaged sandwiches when she opens her new bakery and café on Kilpatrick Avenue Saturday.
So determined is she to ensure her products are fresh, tasty and healthy, she has named the new business the Sweet Revenge Bakehouse.
“Everything here will be fresh – six or eight styles of fresh bread daily, buttery croissants, hot breakfast sandwiches, yogurt parfaits, light lunchtime salads, and a signature cold sandwich range with tasty combinations, some of which will be unique to us and the Comox Valley,” she said.
There will be a series of what Keylock describes as “divine cupcakes,” each decorated by hand. Weddings and social events will be a focus for providing the more delicate baked goods, including the coveted cupcakes.
“Whenever possible, our sandwiches, salads and desserts will feature seasonal Valley ingredients — including meats, cheeses, vegetables and berries — because our farmers offer a growing range of incredibly tasty and healthy produce,” she added.
Keylock has recruited a well-known baker to join her at the business, which is midway between Driftwood Mall and the Anfield shopping centre.
Last-minute touches to the décor include deep, warm colours and unique African-inspired art on the walls. Tables will be available outside and inside. There is ample parking on site.
Sweet Revenge Bakehouse will open six days a week from early morning to mid-day to provide breakfasts in the café and ‘to go’ for working people.
An order and catering service will be available to businesses wanting fresh sandwiches and baked goods during the day.
