Baking With Granny

Having grown up in the walls that housed Granny’s cake making business, I had always been surrounded by home baking. However it was only once I left home to live in Edinburgh, and I found myself no longer surrounded by the smell of cakes in the oven, that I hankered for that familiar aroma in my own house. And when asking my Mum for recipes, it became apparent that so many weren’t written down. I took action! I started writing down, converting, organising and sharing my Mum – my kids Granny – recipes. And so in 2015 Baking with Granny was born. Prior to this I had always wrote blogs; be it about my favourite bands, fashion & lifestyle, motherhood, etc. This was initially another hobby to keep me busy…because being a Mum of two toddlers, whilst also working fulltime wasn’t already keeping me busy enough! In 2017, upon realising I was going to become a single Mum, I took a massive leap of faith and left my job of 7 years to invest time into making Baking with Granny my fulltime job, whilst also being able to stay home for my sons as they started school. Thankfully, things paid off and all my work into Baking with Granny led to demonstrating at food festivals, newspaper features, TV & radio appearances and even a few awards. Now I get to live my dream of baking and creating recipes, in the comfort of our home in East Lothian. My personal favourite part though is the photography/videography and website design & maintenance – my amazing husband even built me a garden office for that part!
