Birds Derby

Overall — An awesome place to pick up the odd cream cake and even a savoury slice
This Bird’s brings back fond childhood memories. It was this Bird’s branch that my mother would send me out to every week to pick up a cream cake for each of us. My father’s choice would ALWAYS be the vanilla cream slice!
It was this very store that opened my eyes to a variety of cream cakes. It was only when I moved away from the Derby area, did I realize it was a regional specialty. For many years I would return and devour a huge selection of their cream cakes to make up for the times there has been a drought.
My favourites include their cream bun, trifle, vanilla cream slice, cream meringue and apple puff. They also do confectionary, breads and savoury pasties/​pies. I’m waiting to revisit my family for my next indulgence!
