The Proof

26.9 miles from Chelmsford
WE'LL BRING PUDDING. The Proof is a female-led dessert business based in Dalston, East-London. Famous for our Proofiteroles, award-winning mince pies and bold and beautiful shag cakes, we can make your pudding dreams come to life. From dessert tables, to layer cakes, to large events and corporate hospitality, we can bring pudding for your event no matter the size. Our team of skilled chefs can work with you to customise flavours and finishes from our signiature range, or we can create fully bespoke options just for you. Francesca Strange, founder of The Proof, is a self-taught cook and baker. From an Italian background, she was often found sitting at the foot of her Nonna, watching as she created incredible desserts, puddings, cakes and sweet treats. As she grew old enough to bake for herself, armed with only a Mary Berry dessert cookbook and a very sweet tooth, baking has since developed into a lifelong passion. After years gigging as a music journalist, the need to bake took over, and The Proof was born. Francesca’s puddings were legendary amongst her family and friends, and “we’ll bring pudding’ became her slogan. One order became two, became ten and before Francesca knew it she was running her own business. The puddings are made with quality ingredients, plenty of indulgence, with their own distinctive look and feel that shys away from sparkles and artificial colours. With a nod to style, but its heart in substance, The Proof delivers a twist on the puds we all know and love. It is a modern day sustainable, independent, female-led business that donates a great deal of time and energy to deserving causes.
