The British Baker is the result of my lifetime love of baking and home country, which has grown into a business focused on bringing joy and a taste of home to everyone.

My baking style is very eclectic and constantly evolving, from sweets to savouries; the humble shortbread to technical French Macarons; custom cakes to national holiday boxes, but the focus is always on the taste.

I believe that your taste buds can take your on a trip down memory lane, make life taste a little sweeter, or provide comfort in harder times and my goal is always to bring a smile to your face.

My Story

I learnt to bake at home with my mother, back in Cornwall, England. At a young age I was baking for all the family, sitting by the Aga trying to keep warm from the cold wet Cornish winters waiting for the cakes to bake.

I started cooking professionally at the tender age of 16, while I was still at school. When I finished university I took my part time job and used the skills I had learnt to allow me start following the snow for the next 15 years.

After a season in New Zealand and 3 in the French Alpes I ended up in Whistler, working at the locals favorite Wildwood Pacific Bistro. By this point I had worked professionally in kitchens for over 10 years, but was still only baking for myself, friends and family.

Then finally I took the leap and joined the Purebread team. I worked with Purebread for 5 years. Starting when it was only the 1 bakery and when I left to have my daughter they were about to open their 4th. Purebread taught me how to turn my hobby into a profession and I could not be more greatfull to them.

Moving to Pemberton and having my 2 beautiful children, completed my life personally, but I missed baking and that is how The British Baker began. I started off hand making boxes and filling them with treats for Christmas back in 2017 and from there my business grew to include national holiday boxes, valentines, and easter as well as taking on custom orders.

Next came farmers markets, first Pemberton and then Whistler, I love markets because of the people! It has been a joy over the past 5 years to meet so many fabulous people from near and far and having them sample my baking, both sweet and savoury.

During this time I made myself a goal, that I would open a bakery when both kids started school, and 9 months after the youngest started kindergarten I opened The British Bakers doors. Dreams really do happen! 10 years after my little business began I finally have a fully fledged bakery offering breakfast, lunch, afternoon treats and all things in between. Life is busy but I still try to have as many genuine conversations with customers as I can fit in, because with out you this dream couldn’t have happened!

Thank you!

I live to eat, not eat to live, and I hope you can feel that passion when you taste my goodies!
