🏆 Family Business Entrepreneurs of the Year 2024

About Us

After leaving London in 2017, my husband (Luke) and I (Charlotte) moved to the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk in the hope of creating a food and drink business.

We had an idea to take Luke’s Mother’s secret family brownie recipe and launch a mobile café with this recipe as the focal point.

In 2019, we lovingly converted an old horse trailer and launched our business operating across East Anglia. Of course no one could have guessed what was around the corner, but thinking on our feet, we decided to close the hatch of our trailer permanently and expand our brownie recipe range (offering doorstep deliveries of brownies during lockdown).

The doorstep brownies proved to be a success! So we immediately decided to offer our chocolate brownie delivery by post, across the UK selling via our website and to businesses via wholesale.

Fast forward to today and we now make a wide range of baked sweet treats and ambient goods for retail. Within our range you can find all sorts of delicious goodness, from fudge, to cookies, to sponge cakes, including vegan bakes and ranges that are made without gluten. We also cater for corporate giftingweddings, events and parties all over the UK.

Traditional recipes and methods are at the heart of what we do. Baking in small quantities, by hand, using family taught skills and knowledge.

We use local ingredients wherever possible; eggs from our local farm, flour with Norfolk grown wheat, sugar produced in Bury St Edmunds, British butter and ethically produced chocolate, manufactured in the UK. Throughout the seasons we forage for, or grow the fruit you find in your jams and toppings.

All of the packaging we use is either recyclable and often compostable. Environmentally friendly practices in the production of your gifts are fundamental to our business.

For the future, expect to see our range of cakes and bakes extended, but always staying true to our passion for hand crafted elements and small batch baking.
