Who we are

Smita Sharan
Baker. Self Taught. Always learning.

I love simple tea-cakes, pastries and desserts that are mature in flavor and not too sweet. A chocolate cake must taste of high-quality chocolate, without being masked with excessive sugar. Sounds simple enough but it's not the easiest to find. So in 2010, when I took a sabbatical from work, I decided to try my hand at baking exactly that & discovered soon enough that I love to bake.

My family and friends have been subjected to many of my experiments in the kitchen, and always encouraged me to turn this passion into something more than just a hobby.

So in 2015, my life partner & I decided to start a small home bakery called Flour Butter Sugar which eventually grew into what's today The Good Butter Bakery.

Right from the beginning our endeavour has been to create offerings that cut across the spectrum, be it a Sourdough bread to start the day or something more indulgent to end a meal. Our menu is typical of what you'd find at a local neighborhood bakery, the kind that draws you in with its fresh-baked aroma each morning. There's something in there for every occasion, and often, for no reason at all! Most importantly though, everything is made with care and with the highest quality ingredients. Our breads are slow fermented, pastries are hand-rolled & the biscottis hand-cut; every element made from scratch, and most of it made to order.

So here's to many sweet beginnings and happier endings. We look forward to sharing our baked goods with you, and hope that you get as much joy eating them as we get in preparing them.
