The Swedish Baker, Geeti Persson, came to Australia’s shores 20 years ago, and with husband Paul Briggs started an event catering company which worked in the events and catering industry until COVID. When COVID happened, Geeti took the opportunity to return to her true passion; baking, following years spent creating traditional loaves in Sweden. Today, with a passion for family and community, the Inner West Swedish Baker’s artisan bread, catering, savoury and sweet baked goods bring an authentic rustic menu and fika to Melbourne.
What is FIKA?
The most important word in Swedish is ‘FIKA’, which is a concept, a state of mind, an attitude and an important part of Swedish culture. The Swedes consider that it is almost essential to make time for FIKA every day. It means making time for friends and colleagues to share a cup of coffee (or tea) and a little something to eat… Kanelbullar of course!
We are proud to be part of the Local Food Revolutions using other Farmers Market Stallholders produce in our bakery.
