One Last Taste of Summer: Our Favourite Late Summer Bakes

There’s something about the final weeks of summer that makes us want to hold on to the season for just a little longer.

The days may be getting shorter and the first hints of autumn are appearing, but there’s still time for lazy afternoons, seaside walks and, most importantly, a few more summer treats.

At St Mawes Bakery, we think the best way to say goodbye to summer is with something freshly baked. So here are a few of our favourite late summer flavours to enjoy before autumn arrives.

Lemon Doughnuts

Bright, zesty and wonderfully summery, lemon is a flavour that never fails to remind us of warmer days.

Our lemon doughnuts bring together a soft, freshly baked doughnut with a deliciously citrusy flavour. They’re perfect with a cup of tea after a morning exploring St Mawes or as a little treat after a day at the beach.

Sometimes simple is best, and a good lemon doughnut is hard to beat.

Strawberry Cheesecake Doughnuts

If there’s one flavour that tastes like summer, it has to be strawberries.

Our strawberry cheesecake doughnuts combine the sweetness of strawberries with the indulgence of cheesecake inspired flavours, all wrapped up in one irresistible treat.

They’re the sort of doughnut that feels made for a sunny afternoon, whether you’re sitting by the harbour, enjoying a picnic or simply taking five minutes to yourself.

The Cornish Cream Tea

And then, of course, there’s the cream tea.

Can you think of anything more quintessentially Cornish than sitting down with a pot of tea, freshly baked scones, jam and clotted cream?

At St Mawes Bakery, we’re firmly in the jam first camp.

For those outside Cornwall, the great cream tea debate can be surprisingly serious. Does the cream go on first, followed by jam, or is it jam first and then a generous spoonful of clotted cream?

For us, there’s only one answer: jam first.

Whichever side of the debate you’re on, a Cornish cream tea is the perfect way to make the most of the last days of summer.

A Taste of St Mawes

Late summer is all about making the most of the simple pleasures. A walk along the coast, an afternoon on the beach, watching the boats in the harbour and stopping for something delicious along the way.

Our bakery has been part of life in St Mawes since 1912, and we love being part of those little moments that make a visit to Cornwall memorable.

Whether it’s a lemon doughnut after a morning walk, a strawberry cheesecake doughnut shared with the family or a traditional Cornish cream tea, there’s always time for one last taste of summer.
