At Ole & Steen, we want all our guests, including those within the LGBTQ+ community, to feel that our bakeries are a place to feel at peace and have a Hygge moment. Sometimes those moments lend themselves as a time to reflect and prepare for important conversations, as well as having them with friends or external support. Bigger conversations, such as how to deal with coming out, coming to terms with your sexual identity and where to find the support you may need, can often be easier to prepare for or have when shared over a cake and coffee, so should you need a space, our door will remain open for everyone.

Because we value the importance of conversation, this year we are supporting LGBTQ+ charity Switchboard, by donating 50p of every Pride Brownie sold throughout the month of June and including London Pride weekend.

FASTELAVN is my name… This line sings out of the mouths of joyful Danish children (and young-at-heart adults) this time of year, as they go door to door trick or treating in Danish neighbourhoods in full costumes for the Danish pre-lent festival - Fastelavn.

This light-spirited celebration is full of colours, costumes, games, joy and laughter but, like any other Danish tradition there would be no real celebration without food.

Buns up, buns down. Buns in my belly… as the song of Fastelavn continues we are introduced to what many considers to be the best part of Fastelavn – Fastelavnsboller or Festival Buns as we call them over here.

Our skilful bakers have been sleigh-in' it again for this Christmas, as they have crafted a deliciously creamy treat, which not only celebrates one festive tradition, but two.

To make this masterpiece even more special, we’ve collaborated with the Meringue Girls, as we crown our Festival Bun with an exclusive, golden mince pie meringue kiss.

The Meringue Girls story began in 2012. Their female founders met while working as chefs in a restaurant kitchen in East London. As they bonded over a love of all things sweet and saw a gap in the market. They began introducing their meringue creations via London’s booming street food scene, which quickly becoming an Instagram sensation, working for clients such as Jimmy Choo, Chanel and now with Ole & Steen.

Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming activity including festive giveaways on our Instagram page.

Sustainability has always been of most importance. Throughout our product's life cycle, from baking through to how you enjoy your products at home, we’ve always worked continuously hard to ensure we can minimise food waste where possible, with much of our leftover bread and pastries being reused where possible in other products, for example leftover bread can be safely used to make bread cream, a starter for new breads.

In our pursuit to further minimise food waste, we are super excited to announce our partnership with the leading food waste platform Too Good To Go. The partnership means that all our bakeries in the UK are now signed up to the Too Good To Go app so that surplus baked goods are eaten and enjoyed rather than wasted.

Simply download the free Too Good To Go app and search for your nearby Ole & Steen. You can then purchase a ‘Magic Bag’ for £5, collect it at an allotted time and enjoy it. Our Magic Bags contain a variety of surplus baked goods - from Cinnamon Socials to loaves of fresh bread - worth at least £15 if sold at normal retail price. #NoWaste.GreatTaste
