Holly Cavanaugh
The Face Behind The BakesHello, welcome to Barbara’s! I’m Holly, an American-born pastry chef who has lived in London for 4 years with my British partner, Bao. I am a Le Cordon Bleu - London trained pastry chef and over the last 14 years I’ve worked in various bakeries across California and London and am so excited to be finally starting my own project in Barbara’s Bakehouse.
Bao Tang
The Face Behind The StallBao is our number one taste tester, photographer, video-maker, and seller! You’ll see him behind the table at markets, excited to tell you all about our cookies, buns and hand pies. Bao grew up in Birmingham and has lived in London for over a decade. You’ll find classic British ‘90s and Asian inspo in our bakes from Bao’s childhood memories so keep an eye out for some fun flavours!
