Kathryn worked as a medical research assistant and a primary school teacher before setting up her business four years ago.
Customers can select from a rich collection of Belgian Chocolate and Mint Aero Brownies, Red Velvet Cookies, Biscoff Flapjack, Ginger Crunch, Ginger Biscuits and Iced Lemon Loaf Cakes.
The bakery also supplies products to Hummingbird Music Group and The Green Shop in Wadsley.

During lockdown, Kathryn says the closing of play centres and groups for pre-school children had an impact on her business.
“At the beginning of the first lockdown, I stopped baking completely for a few weeks whilst I navigated my way through home schooling and the government guidance for running a food business during a pandemic.
As time went on, I got back to supplying my wholesale customers. People seemed keen to treat themselves and were more mindful of shopping locally and with small businesses,” she said.
