Where Every Bite is a Delight

Shynara Bakisheva founded FAB Bakery in 2017. Shynara is Kazahk and started off her adult life working as an interpreter for an oil and gas company. Her relocation to the UK came when she met her English husband Russell.

Once settled in Newcastle, she became dismayed at her inability to find bread of a high quality. In Kazakhstan, bread is a symbol of hospitality and holds a lot of value. In Russia, bread and salt is a traditional gift brought by guests to your home too.

Frustrated by the lack of bread choices in the North, Shynara enrolled on a bread course in Scotland. After completing these studies, she knew she had more to learn about bread. In 2014, she enrolled in a 10-month Advanced Diploma in Bread Making from the School of Artisan Food. When she returned, she worked at Fenwick's in Newcastle and Vallum Farm in Northumberland. She built up her reputation and found the confidence to launch on her own. Fresh Artisan Bread Ltd (FAB) Bakery was born in 2017.
