About

My love affair with all things sweet began after a false start as a waitress at a 4star hotel in Harrogate. Returning to catering college to study pâtisserie, I soon realised this was where I belonged. 

Once qualified, I quickly built up a dizzying CV working in Michelin starred restaurants in France, Switzerland and the UK. With lots of hard work and determination, I learnt how to produce decadent desserts, chocolates, viennoiserie and cakes. 

Changing direction some years later, I made the move into food manufacturing creating tantalising desserts for Marks and Spencer and sumptuous ice cream for Thayer's Ice Cream

Having settled just outside Newport, in 2001 I decided to reconsider my career path, offering short, sharp, bursts of creativity on a freelance basis to the  food manufacturing industry. This also gave me the opportunity to create delicious pâtisserie & chocolates to sell at my local Farmers Markets. Today it's the mainstay of the business and over the years I've built up a loyal following of customers at Usk & Abergavenny Farmers Markets. 


I feel very privileged to have worked with some of the most outstanding professionals in the industry, and bring all the experience I've gained to my  kitchen.


Whatever your preference, be it croissants, desserts or chocolates you can be sure of  the ultimate sweet sensation.

Fresh Seasonal and Local...

Being a home based business allows me to be more flexible with my menus. Every week I carefully consider what to put on my market menu, trying to keep it fresh and interesting. You'll normally find me up at 3.00am on a Saturday morning baking fresh croissants and viennoiserie and putting the finishing touches to the desserts on my menu.


Many of the ingredients I use for my desserts are seasonal and where possible British. My flour is milled by Shipton Mill near Tewkesbury, my butter churned by a dairy in Swansea and the sugar is made from British sugar. I try to work with the seasons as much as possible, buying British grown fruit where feasible and frozen fruit from a farm in Herefordshire. For citrus and tropical fruit it's a case of knowing what's in season and when, for example bergamots come into season around November time, blood oranges January,  tropical fruit is at it's best around the beginning of the year  and if its a good year British strawberries make their first appearance at the beginning of April.


I'm always on the lookout for new sources of ideas and inspiration. In addition to the regular desserts, croissants and chocolates on the menu,  I also offer market specials inspired by seasonal ingredients, the weather and any new ideas I'm able to create.

What my customers say......

We would not know what to do without you.We are all so lucky to have you. Kath, Raglan


I don’t think it’s overstating it to say that people like you, who have put in so much effort to carry on in extremely difficult circumstances, have given the rest of us little snippets of normality to cling onto. Rachel, Usk


Your pain aux chocolat have definitely taken the edge of some dark times over the last months. Owain, Usk


Thank You Beverly because treats like your glorious creations have become much more important and are much appreciated. 

Anna, Monmouth


We have so enjoyed anticipating collecting your ‘sweet treats’ over the past months and it has become part of our ‘lockdown routine’ to have croissants for Sunday breakfast. Your Christmas chocolate log was delicious. 

Phil & Margaret, Crickhowell


Big shout out to @BevCreativefood and the wonderful stollen, breakfast pastries and Christmas tree chocolates. Up to the usual very high standards Bev sets herself. Wishing you a Happy New Year and supporting you in 2021

Matthew & Alison, Bassaleg


Thank you Bev. Outstanding patisserie and chocolates throughout the year.  Especially wonderful during this horrid time.  Love, love love the chocolate salami by the way!  Rosemary, Abergavenny


Just the best pastries and sweet treats. Chris, Abergavenny


All your food was a great hit with my friends. In fact one of them said he might move to Usk just to be near you (and he tweeted about your lemon tart which he was raving about!)! My own favourite was the white chocolate tart, which is (was) sublime. Thank you very much indeed. Clare, Little Mill


One word - stupendous! Your cake practically stole the show and the desserts were outstanding. They had so many compliments that I had to strongly resist the temptation to say I had made them myself! Lots of my friends have asked for your details so I hope you get some richly deserved further orders! Sue, Newport


The carrot cake was the best I have ever tasted! Really moist and full of flavour. I asked everyone for marks out of ten and not one person gave it less than 12! I gave each person one of your cards and asked them to ring you direct. Everyone raved about the chocolate cake - 'heavenly, lush, wonderful' was the consensus. Altogether a big success so thank you. Gill, Newport
