Honeyke

Welcome to the Honeyke.

A small, home-based bakery, bringing you traditional Bohemian spiced honey biscuits (pernik).

Traditional Bohemian "perník" is a soft, fragrant biscuit made with honey and a unique blend of spices. Unlike classic gingerbread, these biscuits are less gingery, more delicately spiced, and have a tender texture. They are beloved treat in Czech homes, especially during festive times.Did you know that the earliest version of "gingerbread", a kind of honey-bread, dates back to ancient Egypt? Known then as a kind of honey-bread, it wasn’t just a sweet treat — it was actually considered medicinal. The Egyptians blended honey — cherished for its soothing, healing nature — with fragrant spices that carried their own antiseptic benefits. The result was a spiced loaf believed to support health and healing. My cookies are not too different from that ancient recipe.↪︎ Learn more about my principles and me below.

Hi, I am

Katerina Beardmore

I’m the one who bakes every piece of "pernik" here at Honeyke. I don’t have professional training in pastry making, but I do have something just as important — a deep connection to Bohemian traditions and the recipes I grew up with. Pernik has always been a part of my life: a symbol of care, creativity, and celebration.
What started as a personal passion has grown into a small bakery where I create each batch from scratch, using only the best ingredients and decorating every piece by hand. I feel honoured to share a little piece of my culture and craft with you through every biscuit.
