Celebrating Life, One Cake at a Time!
At Dunns Bakery, we are proud to have been a part of the local community for over 200 years. Our family-owned business has been baking for generations, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and tradition.
A Brief History of Dunns Bakery
Our journey began in 1820 when Robert Freeman, a skilled baker from Northamptonshire, arrived in Highgate, London, on a hay wagon. He started work as a baker in South Grove, Highgate, and later in 1827, he opened the first family-owned business on Highgate Hill. Over the years, the Freeman family continued to bake, running several small bakeries in New Zealand and Enfield before David Freeman, Robert's great-grandson, acquired Dunns Bakery in 1946. Today, we are still committed to maintaining the same family traditions and values that have been passed down through generations.
Behind The Scenes of The Bakery
At Dan's Bakery, we have a team of expert bakers and staff who work together to provide for the large crowds of local customers who visit us every day. But behind the scenes, there's a whole lot more going on. Our bakery in North London, Crouch End, is a hub of activity, with various rooms where our skilled craftsmen and women make our products from scratch using only the finest ingredients. We bake fresh every day, ensuring that every item that leaves our door is of the highest quality.
Team Effort
We couldn't have achieved our success without our hardworking team of bakers, decorators, and staff. Without them, our bakery wouldn't be the professional establishment it is today. From preparing ingredients to designing and decorating cakes, every member of our team plays a vital role in bringing our products to life.
Cake Decoration
Upstairs, our in-house cake decorator, Neil, creates our exquisite birthday, wedding, and other celebration cakes. Each cake is made with love and care by our expert team, and we take pride in every single item that leaves our bakery. We don't believe in conveyor belts or mass production - every cake is individually made, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
