In a video update shared on social media, staff said: "The building is not in a good way, and we are not going to get back into it. "We are still waiting to find out if they will allow us in to salvage our equipment, which as far as I know, is in good working order. It just needs cleaning. "If they do allow us to do that, we will be moving our production back to our Hamilton shop. "It means we probably won't be able to open our Bothwell shop for a while."

The fire has also had a significant impact on the team, with four staff members being made redundant. 'We've had to let four of our staff members go, and it is not for any fault of their own,' staff said. 'It absolutely sucks.' The bakery captioned the post: "It's not the best news. "For now, both shops are shut and all baking has halted with no reopening date set. We'll keep you all updated where possible. "Any questions, just get in touch to ask. As Ben says, if anyone is hiring, looking for a sick barista, a magician in the kitchen, customer service savant, or a piece artiste, then please, please give us a shout. "We have some amazing people in need of employment."
