About Taylor & Colledge
Taylor & Colledge baking pastes are a game-changer for keen home cooks and professional bakers alike. Made in small batches in Bakewell, Derbyshire, these pastes capture the essence of real ingredients like vanilla, lemon, orange, and raspberry – all organic and free from artificial additives. Unlike extracts that can evaporate during baking, these pastes retain their potency, delivering consistent, bold flavours every time.

Ideal for a variety of uses, stir them into cake batters for moist Victoria sponges, swirl into cookie dough for chewy flapjacks, or blend into buttercream for luxurious frostings. They’re brilliant for traditional British bakes like lemon drizzle cake or raspberry ripple meringues, and versatile enough for modern twists such as matcha-infused pastries. Each jar yields up to 40 servings, making them economical and long-lasting.

What sets Taylor & Colledge apart is their commitment to sustainability and quality – sourced from ethical suppliers with no GMOs or preservatives. Store in a cool, dry place, and they’ll keep for up to two years unopened. Whether you’re a novice following simple recipes or an expert experimenting with flavours, these pastes simplify baking while enhancing taste. Stock up on favourites like Mint Chocolate or Elderflower, and transform your kitchen into a patisserie.
