Hollywood’s golden girl has been keeping a low profile since wedding her British beau Tom Ackerley last week and celebrated the holiday in a floral summer dress by Zimmerman.

BAM Bam Bakehouse caused a stir when movie star Margot Robbie uploaded a photo of herself at the Mermaid Beach eatery this month — but wait, there’s more.

Owner Ursula Watts confirmed Bam Bam also hosted part of Robbie’s hen’s party and catered an all-day party the next day with sister bakery, Paddock.

“Bam Bam and Paddock catered her hen’s party, being her favourite bakery in the world,” Mrs Watts said.

“She kicked off her hen’s weekend at Bam Bam on the Friday night — they did a little artisan baking course in the kitchen.

“Then the next day we catered her whole party, which was off-site, and they ate what they baked the night before as well.”

Mrs Watts, who owns both establishments with husband Ben, said they were “humbled” to serve Australia’s current hottest export, and the impact on their business has been hugely beneficial.

“People like Margot fly all over the world and experience things we’ll probably never experience and she still chose to have this special occasion at our little bakery,” Mrs Watts said.

“Bam Bam is pumping at the moment, our golden girl was in here and it’s let us tap into a whole new market of people who didn’t know about us. It’s been hectic but good.”

Despite the craziness, fans of the Watts’ work will be delighted to hear they have opened a third permanent site at Tallebudgera, Paddock Pop Up, after recently upgrading from a temporary horse cart.

“The Tallebudgera spot just started as a little horse float, serving our coffees and muffins and things,” she said.

“Now we’ve moved under the Neptune building, facing the water. It’s the most incredible spot.

“I’m thinking the theme will be kiosk food done well, a little bit of nostalgia of all those yummy things you’d get from the beach kiosk when you were a kid.”

Mrs Watts said the new Paddock Pop Up will soon be renovated to take over even more of the Neptune building in the new year.
