A brief introduction and a quick round of applause please. Meet Jasper. By day he is our weekend stalwart; manning the Ground Floor counter; restocking; helping customers; doing all the usual shoppy things. By night, he is a singer, guitar player, music afficionado, and, for the purposes of this particular exercise, our resident baker.
It seems a shame to keep Jasper’s skill all to ourselves. In honour of Mother’s Day he has baked his signature brownies with his very special signature stencil design and we’re sharing the recipe! Jasper came to baking while he was at secondary school, where his mum was the food tech teacher. Next Sunday he’ll be baking Banana Bread with Raisin and Cardamom for her (because she’s probably quite an exacting customer and appreciates something a little unusual). We’re delighted to settle for Brownies.

There’s a family trip to Cornwall in the offing so he’s going for Cornwall Weekend Journal, for top tips while they’re on holiday.

What better for a Food Tech teacher than a Braided Rug placemat set. Every dinner table looks better with these.

Jasper’s other super power is the art of the playlist. He has been putting a few tunes together for the shop at the weekend and has somehow managed to please the very large majority of the team with his choices (this is no mean feat). Victoria says thank you very much to the boy who plays Sandy Alex G.
These are Jasper’s Top 5 Mother’s Day sounds:
* Finn confesses that as she was putting this story together she was eating one of the featured brownies (it was so good that the eating was prioritised over the working).
Make them and you will understand.
