T

he Waldron family have been handcrafting beautiful cakes, desserts and pastries from a small bakery on Dartmoor since 1985. Second generation managing director Rob Waldron introduces the family and the talented team of bakers who spend their days whipping up fresh cream roulades and creating new vegan and gluten-free confections.

‘The business started in 1985,’ explains Rob, ‘but the family story actually started a little before that. It all began in Jersey where Mum and Dad met. Dad was a head chef at the Normandy Hotel and Mum worked on reception. They fell in love, got married and decided they wanted to move back to England; they put a pin in the map and ended up in Moretonhampstead on Dartmoor.’

It took a small “accident” for the team to see the opportunity to freeze cakes and desserts so that customers could get what they wanted, whenever they wanted it. Rob says: ‘The team made too many cakes one day and didn’t know what to do with them, so Dad suggested they stick them in the freezer, thinking it would ruin them but that he’d deal with it later. When they were defrosted a couple of days later they were perfect, which is when they realised there was an opportunity to freeze the cakes – springboarding the business to the next level.

Rob’s dad Peter saw an advertisement for a job working with a lady who made desserts for restaurants in the area and he thought his cheffing skills might help him get it. He was right and he worked with her until she decided to sell the business. Peter bought it and that was the beginning of Waldron’s Patisserie.

‘Dad continued to make desserts for local businesses from the lady’s premises,’ continues Rob, ‘but as the business grew he realised he’d need more space and found a unit in Buckfastleigh, where we’re still based. Then Mum joined the business and it really started to develop.

‘That was in 1988, so when I was born in 1991, the frozen food element of the business was already well established. Within two days of my arrival, Mum was back in the office with me in a rocker by her desk. And it was exactly the same when Jamie was born in 1993; we were literally brought up in the business.

‘He would babysit, putting me up on the table while making desserts’

‘We’ve got one team member from those days who’s still with us and he tells me stories of how, if Mum and Dad had to go off to do something, he would babysit, putting me up on the table while making desserts.’

The brothers spent their summer holidays helping out and have worked full time in the bakery since they left school, learning the ropes from the bottom up: ‘We did everything from greasing tins to doing the washing up before learning how to pipe rosettes and bake off the apple pies. We also had to learn how to manage the store rooms and drive the fork lift truck and, throughout it all, Mum and Dad made sure we didn’t get any special treatment.’

‘At the beginning, all of our products were ambient and made to order. Restaurants would call Mum after evening service with their orders for the next day, which would be baked from scratch in the morning and delivered in the afternoon.‘

‘ What remains unchanged is Waldron’s focus on quality’ In recent years Rob has taken over as managing director while Jamie is the office manager and, together, they’ve driven the business forward, modernising and keeping up with developments such as veganism and free-from diets. Sadly Sarah (the boys’ mum) passed away a couple of years ago, but Peter stays close to the action – even though he’s no longer running the business.

bakery department,’ says Rob. ‘He owned his own bakery before he came to work with us and has brought great attention to detail to our baking.

Similarly, our colleague Chris Stephens has used his cheffing skills in the business since he joined in 1988. Chris was actually a chef at one of the restaurants where Dad used to deliver cakes.’

Another long-serving member of the team is production manager Lisa Smith. Rob says: ‘Lisa didn’t have any experience in food when she came to us 20 years ago, but she’s worked her way through the ranks and is now a key member of the team.’

Despite the change in leadership, what remains unchanged is Waldron’s focus on producing cakes and desserts of the very best quality.

This comes through in many ways, particularly in the ingredients used. Everything is made from organic flour milled in the Cotswolds, fresh cream and cream cheese is sourced from the Westcountry and, when it comes to chocolate, only top-notch Belgian will do.

The family vibe and the focus on looking after each other and the customers is hugely important and what keeps the team getting up at the crack of dawn to bake trays of freshly made meringue.

The wider team have brought a great deal of additional experience to Waldron’s: ‘A good example is Paul Beckwith, who heads up our

‘We’ll take those sheets of meringue – which we make just like you would at home – and spread the cream on them by hand, roll them by hand and package them up by hand,’ says Rob.

Because everything is freshly made and then quick-frozen there is minimal waste. Rob says, ‘We freeze the finished cakes and desserts to -18°c very quickly. Then they’re usually delivered to customers within a couple of days, which is very speedy for our industry.

That’s pretty unusual and why Waldron’s has kept its band of loyal customers for so many years. Buckfastleigh locals even rock up at the commercial bakery to pick up puds for their own special occasions and dinner parties.

‘Even if we don’t have a product in stock – which is rare as we have a large cold store which can hold up to 150 pallets – we can make the product and deliver it to the customer within five days (some of our competitors work up to a three-week lead time).’

‘Organic flour milled in the Cotswolds; fresh cream and cream cheese sourced from the Westcountry’

The team have created an array of new products, reinvigorating the range and also responding to customers’ requests for traditional and authentic bakery products made without gluten and animal products.

e’ve encouraged our cakesmiths to craft scrumptious confections that everyone can enjoy. Read on to discover our new vegan, low-sugar and dairy-free products which are every bit as good as the traditional versions.

Spiced Apple Cake Our bakers take real Bramley apples (we find that nothing else creates such a satisfyingly moist cake) with their traditional English apple flavour and spice them up with fragrant cinnamon.

The resulting soft, vegan sponge also has a creamy frosted middle and top for a touch of luxury. Perfect at tea time.

‘Add fresh fruit to dress it up’

Low-Sugar Vanilla Brûlée This works as well at tea time as it does for a dinner dessert. A vanilla sponge base means that the brûlée can be elegantly served as a neat slice – you could even add your own fruit coulis or fresh fruit to dress it up. However you serve it, the fresh cream filling with its hit of classic vanilla and crisp flamed demerara sugar top will always be a popular choice. 3.7g of sugar per slice.

Low-Sugar Lemon Drizzle Cake It’s not easy finding delicious cakes that are suitable for those following a diabetic diet, but we’ve crafted this moist lemon drizzle cake which tastes like a classic version, yet only contains 0.6g of sugar per slice.

‘Dairy-free cream mixed with real Belgian chocolate ganache’

Chocolate Cream Cake When you need a chocolate crowdpleaser which can be served with a cup of tea or as dessert, this is your go-to.

And to cap it all, it’s also vegan.

We make a moist vegan chocolate sponge and layer it with dairy-free cream which we’ve mixed with real Belgian chocolate ganache. To finish, it’s generously topped with shards of Belgian chocolate.

Dark chocolate and cherry are a classic combination as their rich dark flavours marry beautifully. In our tart we use real Belgian chocolate to make a smooth and rich filling, which is cut by the fruit. It’s all served in a crisp gluten-free pastry case which we make using organic flour from the Cotswolds.

Black Forest Gateau Black Forest Gateau is such a timeless classic that we think it’s only fair that vegans get to enjoy it too. We make a springy chocolate sponge, fill it with cherry compote and slather it in dairy-free cream (with a generous slug of real kirsch folded through), then shower it with shavings of Belgian chocolate.

Low-Sugar Victoria Sponge You don’t need to be following a diabetic diet to want to reduce your sugar intake; it’s a growing trend among health-conscious customers.

The reason is the excellent sponge recipe and the fact that, after assembly, it’s immediately quick frozen so that it’s super fresh. We fill it with a delicious and light vegan cream (sorry, we’ll never reveal our secrets on that one) and fruity strawberry jam which balances the sweetness of everything else.

Meringue roulades W

e’re probably best known for our cloudlike meringue roulades which we’ve perfected over the years.

Lemon Meringue Roulade

We create lots of different versions of them and they’re all gluten-free.

The meringue is made in the traditional way from just egg white and sugar and we bake it in sheets each morning.

Once they’re cool, we spread them with fresh Westcountry cream and other fillings and roll them up. Everything is done by hand and we think it shows in the eating.

The roulades are delivered as a whole piece and can be easily sliced while fresh or frozen for simple freezer-to-table serving.

We give fresh dairy cream a zesty lemon flavour and encase it in crisp, golden, baked meringue.

We make ours from locally sourced Westcountry cream cheese – then get creative with flavours.

Caramel Crunch Cheesecake Sweet, sticky and utterly moreish, we make a chocolate and caramel cheesecake which we place on a crisp biscuit base. Then the whole delicious ensemble is topped with crunchy biscuit pieces and drizzled with an attractive crosshatch pattern of caramel sauce.

A short history of Belgian chocolate Renowned throughout the world as the home of chocolate, Belgium’s relationship with the cocoa-tastic product goes back to the 17th century when the abbot of Baudeloo Abbey in Ghent started trading chocolate. It soon became a sideline of pharmacists who sold it as a tonic.

By 1840 it was being pressed into chocolate tablets and around this time several famous Belgian chocolate companies were set up, including Neuhaus and Callebaut.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the new colony of Belgian Congo (now DRC) gave Belgium more access to cocoa which helped the industry develop further.

Today, 8.5 per cent of the Belgian workforce is employed in the chocolate industry which comprises of around 320 chocolateries producing 725,000 tonnes of the sweet stuff each year.

We love it for its superior flavour and texture and wouldn’t use anything else in our chocolate desserts.
