About us, Who we are, and why we became a bakery in Dudley.

take a factory-produced violin for eg..versus a Stradavarius...I rest my case, artisan handmade products are massively making a comeback. Home cake bakery start-up businesses alone have risen 400% since covid lockdowns happened. Everyone seems to be getting into the artisan baking world.

I have been making cakes as a hobby and providing family and friends with epic and beautiful cakes (their words) for the past 6+ years. Whilst refining my recipes and skill set. I live in Dudley in the west midlands England (for those international viewers) and My home Kitchen, seemed to be the ideal place to start. Well, until the business outgrows our home bakery kitchen.

I started up as an official business, and was registered as a food business with Dudley Council on the 31 of May 2018. I am fully registered and inspected, I hold a food hygiene certificate to level two, currently working on level three. I hold an FSA 5-star health and hygiene rating. Just another lovely reason to order with us.

I am up to date on all, the relevant food allergy information and training, and am subscribed to the FSA for food updates and warnings. And I keep an eye on all new training as it comes in, because I take allergen training seriously.  I know first hand how much it sucks, when you're ill from eating something your tummy doesn't tolerate. So we make absolutely, sure that our customers' cakes are safe and made according to the latest info...its not fun and can be deadly in very sensitive cases (see Natasha's law info to name a few). Her legacy has changed legislation on food businesses for the better in my eyes. So very sad that her life was lost due to lack of labelling and understanding of food allergens and intolerances. We have to learn in order to grow. Rest in peace Natasha.

on a lighter note We have bakes, cakes, cupcakes, pastries, desserts, and bento cakes too.. which are advertised for availability on our socials. Try us and find out how tasty our cakes are OR check out our social pages or testimonials page here... The current path of our cake dream is a challenging one. I'm stll aiming our business rudder, towards making enough to open a cafe/sancturary. That was the 10 yr plan from my mid 20s! haha and 20 yrs later I'm stll no closer, but you've gotta have a dream right?! The economy tanked, food prices shot up astronomically, Covid hit and people are struggling to pay bills, let alone buy cake these days! But I'm still out here, doing what I can with what I've got. It's not much, but it's all I have...I throw my heart and soul into my cake work, I stay up late nights or work right through them till dawn, I do the school run covered in food colour, and icing, and I miss time with my family, and juggle emails and, replying to people while balancing family life and family struggles. And I do it all willingly, joyfully and prayerfully, I wouldn't ever want to do anything else.. and I do all that in the hopes it blesses you, and your celebrations. So you make the best memories, and my hope is that you feel loved, appreciated and special with every bite. i just wanted to make the world feel a little it more loved and a little bit more special.
