So far, I haven't come across a bakery in East Dulwich or the surrounding areas which sells baked goods with fresh cream, other than Greggs on Peckham Rye. I'm thinking of things like chocolate eclairs and  cream buns. 

I passed by the bakery in West Dulwich the other day - it looked traditional so I hoped they might sell some, but sadly when I asked they said they don't sell things with fresh cream.  Same for the bakery in Nunhead (I heard they used to, years ago). 

Does anyone know of any bakeries near here (or further afield) which do sell these?

I should say that the M&S chocolate eclairs (the standard ones) are very good and they use proper fresh whipped cream, so I am thankful for that!

  • Katherty changed the title to Looking for a bakery which sells baked goods with fresh cream - are there any?

Another bakery staple in days gone by - bread pudding. Place bakers(?) where Harry's is now always used to sell big chunks of this.

I think Morrisons also used to sell it in a packet of 2 slices. Are bakeries now just dumping their unsold bread?

I make bread pudding regularly - use reduced bread from supermarkets ( loaf cost me 22p) and last time made 3 batches one for us plus two for friends.

Thanks all! 

KateS - boulangerie Jade is a nice cafe, but they don't do fresh cream cakes. Their eclairs are filled with patisserie cream (a kind of custard), not fresh cream.

Azalea- thanks and I've been to Bunhead Bakery (a Palestinian bakery) in Herne Hill a few times. There's a nice chocolate bun they do, which is amazing when then sauce is warmed up. But I haven't seen any fresh cream things there, only white icing. Maybe it's only on a certain day. 

And the last time I checked, Ayres bakers in Nunhead don't do fresh cream things.

These are the kind of fresh baked goods I'm thinking of....

    • In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
    • Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).
    • Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.  
    • I know, back when it was in the news, I read most of it. I said many public schools feature, I didn't say it was exclusively public schools. And Dulwich was one of the schools that stood out to me because I know it, and some of the stories I read stuck in my memory.
