“We are opening our first store outside of Queensland, which is really exciting,” she said.
“It’ll be right here in Sydney. I’d love to know if you guys can guess where,” she asked hosts Nat Barr and Matt Shirvington.
“It’ll be at Sydney Domestic Airport.”
The store will open in November.
Bellamy said with Brisbane Airport being the brand’s busiest store in Queensland, it made sense for the first NSW store to be at the Harbour City’s airport.
As well as cooking up plans for her new outlet, baker Bellamy has a “bun in the oven” — with the pregnancy adding to a busy time in her life both professionally and personally.
“My daughter turns one this weekend and I’m due in four weeks,” Bellamy explained.
“I always say I thrive under pressure until I don’t”
Earlier this year Bellamy was embroiled in plagiarism claims made by RecipeTin Eats author Nagi Maehashi.
Maehashi claims Bellamy reproduced recipes including a caramel slice from the RecipeTin Eats website and other authors in her own book, Bake With Brooki.
Bellamy strongly denied the allegations, saying on Instagram she “did not plagiarise any recipes in my book which consists of 100 recipes I have created over many years”.
US cookbook author Sally McKenny also made plagiarism claims against Bellamy, which she also denied.
Following the accusations, Bellamy released her own statement.
“I do not copy other people’s recipes. Like many bakers, I draw inspiration from the classics but the creations you see at Brooki Bakehouse reflect my own experience, taste, and passion for baking, born of countless hours of my childhood spent in my home kitchen with mum,” Bellamy said.
“While baking has leeway for creativity, much of it is a precise science and is necessarily formulaic. Many recipes are bound to share common steps and measures — if they don’t, they simply don’t work.
“My priority right now is to ensure the welfare of the fantastic team at Brooki Bakehouse and that of my family.”
