Big Slice Bakery in the 'Bay'.

On Friday, if some of you can remember to back then, Adam had the day off and it was date day so instead of us doing the usual thing we do every Friday that Adam is off, we decided to do something different. This is probably why I remember Friday instead of it merging in my brain with all the other days of the week.

I came downstairs at about half 11 and Adam was playing his beloved FIFA so I asked him what we would be doing that day and the same as every day came out - cleaning, cooking, washing - and for some reason I was just bored of doing that whole thing, especially when you do it everyday. Don't get me wrong things really did need doing and I was doing my best so Adam and I made a compromise, he'd do washing and a bit in the bedroom (finally sorting his clothes) and I would do the kitchen then we would do something else.

Then I remembered that Adam's married friends, Natalie and Dan had just opened a bakery in Whitley Bay, I had never been to Whitley Bay and I can never say no to home baked goods so I asked Adam if we could 'pop' over to say hi to his friends and buy some scrummilicious foods - two birds with one stone and all that. I didn't think he would want to go because it was his day off and his chill out day and 'popping' over to Whitley Bay was a half an hour drive but he said 'yes' and we were off.

Neither of us really know Whitley Bay that well so we were relying on the good ol' satnav to point us in the right direction after previously talking with Adam's friend, Dan, to find our way to the baked goods shop. So after driving round in a circle we finally parked up on a street in the centre of Whitley Bay with parking only a penny a minute - as Adam put it and found our way round to the high street where his friend said their bakery was. We were told it was in the indoor market on the high street so we were looking around for a large market, thinking of Leeds market where it is pretty massive. When we happened to stumble across a small door with an open window front with the sign 'Indoor Market' over the door. We almost walked past it. But when we went inside we were greeted with smiles, small stalls and some very tasty looking baked goods.

And there it was, on the right hand side as we went in, I don't know if they change places when they go in as it might depend on who comes in and books a market table first, but there it was.

Big Slice Bakery

And let me tell you, the slices are BIG. On the day we went in they had on offer I think marshmallow crispy treats, brownies on sticks and chocolate and banana cake, which smelt divine but I could only eat so much so I chose the marshmallow crispy and the heart-burn on a stick brownie. Dan, the stall owner was more than friendly and welcoming, of course we know him but I am sure he would be just as friendly to anyone else who happened to come across his stall. They do booking orders as well if you want to go to their Facebook page for more details please Click me for the goodies.

They had an offer on that day 1 for £1.30 or 2 for £2.00 and who can miss up a good deal like that especially when their slices really are that big. I love the goodies that Dan's awesome wife, Natalie, made herself, at home even though she has two young children, Natalie must obviously be super mum! We all want to be one of those. But anyway, I love the size of their slices because even if you can't eat a full one in one go and believe me I was trying, you can always put it to one side for later and trust me you won't forget about it because they really are that good!

If you want to have a try of their nom-il-icious food just go round to see them at their stand in the Indoor Market in Whitley Bay and they may even have samples to munch on whilst you have a good ol' natter. You won't be disappointed.
