Exploding Bakery Paddington Brownie

Paddington Brownie 

There's something undeniably special about Paddington. Not just the place, though it has its charms, but the bear himself. That little Peruvian stowaway with a penchant for marmalade sandwiches has wriggled his way into our hearts just as surely as the smell of fresh brownies baking in the oven. 

A Cake Pilgrimage

Introducing the Paddington Brownie—a bake that captures the essence of childhood nostalgia, whisked together with a good dollop of grown-up indulgence. But this isn’t just any brownie; it’s a journey in itself, much like Paddington’s own adventure. We’ve taken Colombian single-origin chocolate, which has made its own pilgrimage from the lush landscapes of South America to our bakery, echoing Paddington’s voyage from Peru to London in Michael Bond’s beloved tale.

Brownie that packs a punch

The rich, dark chocolate sets the stage, providing that gooey depth you’d expect from an Exploding Bakery creation. But here’s where it gets really interesting: we’ve added swirls of vibrant orange zest, a nod to that famous marmalade. And because we believe in celebrating local craftsmanship, we’ve partnered with Boddington’s Berries, just down the road in Cornwall, to bring you their exquisite orange marmalade. Each jar is a perfect blend of sweet and tangy, and we’ve drizzled it generously throughout the brownie. 

The aftermath

The result? A symphony of flavours where the citrus sings against the dark backdrop of the chocolate, creating a harmony that’s nothing short of glorious. It’s the kind of brownie that’ll transport you straight to a cosy corner of The Pilgrm, where you can almost imagine Paddington himself, perched beside you, nibbling away with a contented smile.

So, whether you’re a local or just passing through, come and grab a slice of our Paddington Brownie. It’s more than just a treat; it’s a taste of adventure, a tribute to a beloved bear, and a celebration of journeys—both near and far.
