Starbake Patisseries Officially Opens New Luxury Patisserie in Huddersfield
Bringing Artisan French Craftsmanship & Award-Winning Desserts to Hillhouse
Starbake Patisseries, the North East’s leading luxury bakery brand, is delighted to announce the official opening of its newest patisserie located at 12 Hillhouse Ln, Hillhouse, Huddersfield.
Known for its artisan cakes, signature patisseries, and indulgent desserts, Starbake Patisseries brings its renowned in-house craftsmanship to Huddersfield for the very first time. Every product is freshly baked daily by French-trained specialists, combining traditional techniques with modern flavours to create unforgettable culinary experiences.
A New Chapter Following the Acquisition of Oh So Yum
In late 2025, Starbake Patisseries acquired Oh So Yum, the beloved Yorkshire dessert chain founded by The Apprentice winner Harpreet Kaur. With Oh So Yum’s strong community presence and loyal customer base across Huddersfield, Bradford, and Leeds, the acquisition marks a milestone moment for the brand’s national expansion.
While Oh So Yum faced challenges due to the long-term effects of the pandemic and wider economic pressures, Starbake Patisseries saw a valuable opportunity to preserve a loved Yorkshire favourite while introducing its elevated luxury offering to new audiences. The Huddersfield opening is the first step in that vision.
A Luxury Dessert Experience for the Community
The new Hillhouse site officially opened its doors to the public this weekend, attracting a warm and enthusiastic response from local residents.
Visitors can expect:
- Hand-crafted French patisseries
- Luxury cakes and celebration desserts
- Freshly baked indulgent treats made in-house daily
- A premium yet welcoming café experience
Starbake Patisseries aims to redefine the dessert scene in Huddersfield by offering quality, creativity, and excellence right in the heart of the community.
A Statement from Starbake Patisseries
“We are thrilled to bring Starbake Patisseries to Huddersfield, especially in a location that holds so much meaning for Yorkshire dessert lovers. Our mission is simple: to provide luxury, beautifully crafted desserts at an accessible level while honouring the legacy that Oh So Yum built in this region. This opening represents growth, opportunity, and our ongoing commitment to creating the UK’s leading luxury patisserie experience.”
