Today marked the end of an era as I delivered the last of my wholesale orders after more than ten years of baking for coffee shops and cafes, pubs and restaurants, farm shops and delis and even a few years baking for the corporate hospitality suite at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix and other races.

Cakes, cookies, sweet and savoury tarts pies, sausage rolls, crackers (sooooo many crackers!) and sometimes even bread.

What a blast!

I am so grateful to all of my wholesale customers for choosing to stock happiness in its many and varied guises over the years, and to all of you who turned up again and again at their venues to get your fix 💕

They have been incredibly understanding and supportive of my decision and have pushed my capacity to the limit in stocking up over the last few weeks!

I'm sad that this chapter of happiness has come to an end, even though it was my decision, but I'm excited for what I now have the headspace to try and pursue with the bakery.

Hey, hey it's Bake Off Day! And this week is Bread Week. My favourite* 😍

*At least until Pasty Week comes along 🙃

It's time to channel your inner Peter Kay during the signature round as the bakers tackle garlic bread.

Rumour has it we're about to see the most disastrous technical challenge in the history of GBBO. And then some fancy bread displays for the showstopper.

We saw our first Hollywood Handshake of the series last week. But will anyone get the most coveted handshake of all tonight - during Bread Week?

See you on the sofa at 8pm 💕

Hola!

Just a quick update to give you a little advance notice that I will be closing the online shop later this month while I take a break.

The last day for ordering will be FRIDAY 16th OCTOBER. Stock levels for baking mixes and flour are set and I have put all the Little Boxes of Happiness out of stock I'm afraid, as I'm absolutely maxxed out with baking for my wholesale customers.

The online shop will be back up and running by the beginning of December at the latest. So if you need to stock up on...

💕 Magical flour blend
💕 Scone mixes
💕 Pastry mixes
💕 Biscuit mixes
💕 Batter mixes
💕 Cake mixes
..you've got just over a week left to do so.

Hey, hey it's Bake Off day! And this week is Audience Choice week.

So a new one for 2026.

Expect cheesecakey assistance from friends and family, mystery boxes and wearable showstoppers.

See you on the sofa at 8pm 💕

Hey, hey it's Bake Off day! And tonight is Biscuit Week 🍪

But what did you make of the start of the new series last week? Did you like having Nigella as a judge? I did 😍

Anyhoo, onto biscuits...

Expect nostalgia in the technical and piecing together of biscuits in the showstopper (think mosaic, not jigsaw!) But the show kicks off with cookies.

Wait! WHAT? Cookies aren't biscuits 😜

Right you are.

A big update from me…

After a great deal of soul-searching, agonising, heartache and a monumental amount of bravery, I have decided to call time on the wholesale side of my business.

I have some of the best business customers a baker could ever ask for and have been baking for some of them for over a decade now.

But the reality of running a small business in an incredibly tough economic climate means that it has become harder and harder to produce happiness in a way that works financially for both me and my wholesale customers (and ultimately, you). I have tried everything I can to keep from passing on the relentlessly increasing costs but I have now reached a point where the only thing left for me to do to make things work without massive price increases is to cut corners on quality. Which is my red line.

It’s just something that I will never, ever entertain.

Because of this, I have had to face my reality head on and come to the conclusion that now is the time to let go of the wholesale business.

My wholesale customers have responded to my news in a way that only the most fabulous of humans can, even though the impact on them is not great. They have brought a tear to my eye with both their support and understanding of my decision and their lovely words about our years working together. I’m a very lucky gal 🥰

So what next for The Little Bakery of Happiness?

Those of you who have followed me on the little rollercoaster of happiness for some or all of the last 13 years (gawd bless ya 💕) will know that I’m pretty good at dusting myself down, lowering the volume on the self-doubt and cracking on with things.

And this time is no different.

I see so much more life in this business of mine and have so much more to contribute to the gluten-free and foodie communities before I hang up my chef’s pinks!

There are lots of things swimming around in my head, but I need a much less busy brain before I can give them the attention they need and deserve.

So the next month will be focused on baking like mad to fill up my wholesale customers’ freezers, helping them to find a new baker and continuing to fulfil the orders I get online for my Bake Yourself Happy at Home® range of happiness. Then I am going to take a month off from everything, take stock and re-energise ready for the next chapter.

I am currently a proper mixed up jumble of emotions. But my decision does take me out of my comfort zone, which is where I’m at my absolute best 👊🏻

Here’s to chapter XIV!

PS I will do another post early next week about when the online shop will take a temporary pause so that you can stock up on happiness to tide you over 💕

It’s back, it’s back, it’s back!

Retkjheralhfgakjhgfkjdgfjhga (that’s me cartwheeling across the keyboard with excitement 🙃).

The new series of The Great British Bake Off starts tonight and it’s back with a brand new judge and 12 new bakers. Eep!

Nigella is straight in there, setting both the signature and technical challenges. Expect coffee, Guinness and walnuts, not necessarily in that order ;)

Felt tips at the ready, I’ve attached your cake week bingo card here for you :)

See you on the sofa at 8pm - oh no, wait, I double-booked myself and am off out for my tea 🙈 Catch-up it is for me, then. No spoilers, please 💕
