Popular dessert shop in Doncaster opens second location
Brand new Bake Shack has Doncaster people lined up around the street to get their hands on a sweet treat.
A couple from Mexborough opened up The Cookie Smith five years ago, it began as a humble home kitchen experiment, now they have just opened their second location.
Jenna Murphy and David Smith started The Cookie Smith as they wanted to find a way to work for themselves, after a lot of learning and recipe testing they launched their very own business on Adwick Road, Mexborough.
They have run the dessert business from there since April 2023 and have recently expanded to a second premises with a bake shack on Dove Road.
We spoke to Jenna to learn all about their delicious cookies, cheesecakes and fudge cakes.
She said: “What makes us special is that we have developed every recipe from scratch.
“It took David around six months of testing to get our signature cookie just right, we put a lot of effort into making them perfect. “
They use their popular cookies as the base of their cheesecake which has become their best seller.
Recently they have added a decadent chocolate fudge cake to the menu.
Jenna told us how appreciative she is of her customers, she said: “We have a lot of regular customers who love our desserts and we are proud that people return again and again to us.
“The local community has really supported us and we hope that we do right by them too.”
The new bake shack was launched as the couple wanted to feed the people on the estate where they live.
It is open outside of regular business hours so that it can reach even more customers.
The shop on Adwick Road is still their main location and has a wider selection of desserts.
