Tomorrows Market has been cancelled due to the typical Scottish weather doing its thing! 💨
But safety comes first 🫣😢

Celebrating Christmas on your own, or maybe just two of you? Or maybe no-one else in the family likes Christmas Cake?! (We need to have a word!) then these small portion Christmas cakes from Cafe at Kilcreggan are ideal!
Get your orders in now while they are ‘marinading’! 🥰

We don't really want to use the "C" word, but thought we better had! Bit later than last year but will be well fed between now and "C" day! If you could give us a wee nod if you would like one, please just give us a wee message on here. This year, we are making 1 person, 2 person, 3 person cakes and 4 person cakes. We can supply gluten free,nut free, dairy free, vegan friendly. Please get in touch if you have any special requests so we can get them baked and maturing. There will be a limited number of cakes, so get your name on one today!
I haven't calculated how much they will be yet, but I will post on here once I have. Thank you very much 😊, I'm off to peel some apples 🍎 😀
