New bakery set to open in Melton Mowbray town centre

Butterwick Bakery will sell cupcakes, cookies, brownies, doughnuts and larger celebration cakes from the South Parade premises.

Customers will be able to eat in the shop with coffee and a range of shakes also available.

This will be Butterwick’s 12th shop, with two of their other outlets at nearby Oakham and Market Harborough.

The company started seven years ago by Ryan and Fiona Scarborough.

The couple began by making bespoke wedding cakes but the popularity of their smaller bakes prompted them to change the way they operate.

Melton Borough Council has approved a planning application to change the shop front on the three-storey grade two listed building.

In their latest Facebook post on the new Melton shop, Butterwick said they had experienced some delays but they were planning to open in early 2024.
