Our story

Hello! Welcome to Merryfall Cakes Bakery Ltd.

Merryfall Cakes Bakery is a family run business, based in the heart of Cheshire in a small village of Whitley. Since we began in 2021, we have built up a successful cake business providing bespoke cakes, made to order bakes, wholesale bakes, wedding cakes and exceptional service to new and returning customers.

Steph began baking when our eldest turned one in 2012. She swore that she would bake our children’s birthday cakes each year and this continued into the lockdown of 2020. Having been placed onto furlough, she began baking more often and for friends birthday’s, cheering them up through the uncertain times. The ball began to start rolling….

Word spread locally and Steph became busier and busier. She returned to work in August 2020 and we fell pregnant with our third child in October 2020. Juggling full time nursery work, completing a Montessori Teacher qualification, being pregnant, leading the Kid’s Ministry at our Church and running a house with two children and a husband already, Steph continued to work on the Bakery business on the side. In May 2021, maternity leave from the nursery began earlier than anticipated due to ill health and our third boy arrived in July 2021. With a couple of months of rest and enjoying the new-born bubble stage, in September the diary was back open and Merryfall Cakes really took off!

Fast forward 18 months and we decided that Merryfall Cakes needed a full-time position and Steph left her nursery job and concentrated on continuing to build the business. This started by renovating a barn at the farm and transforming it into a Kitchen Studio. We moved from our small kitchen at home to the Kitchen Studio in October 2022 and we cannot wait to see what is in store for the future!

In 2022 we created 10 Wedding Cakes, 196 Birthday Cakes and 800+ Cupcakes!
In 2023 we have created 31 Wedding Cakes, 257 Celebration Cakes and over 1500 Cupcakes!
