Little Pudding began in 2011 while I was on maternity leave. My sister asked me to bake a few things for her partner’s cafe, wanting that fresh-from-the-oven look and taste of home-made cakes piled on the counter.

I started with a batch of raspberry friands and macadamia brownies and to my surprise they kept ordering more! After a few short months I am now supplying goodies to six cafes and baking daily.

I recently shelved my career as a journalist with The Daily Telegraph in order to continue in the kitchen and give my little business a chance to grow.

It’s scary, stepping out on my own, but there’s a definite demand out there for cakes that taste of real butter instead of trans fats and preservatives, and I’m doing my best to keep up with it!
