We spoke to Ella about how she got started and what’s to come, here’s what she said.

“Hello! My name is Ella and I am the owner of Ella’s Bakery. I am only 12 years of age but have been baking since I was just 4. I have a huge passion for baking and decided to launch “Ella’s Bakery” in January last year. It’s always been a dream to start my own baking business, and one day I would love to have a shop of my own.”

“When I was 8 years old, I did a bake sale from my house to raise money for MND (Motor Neurone Disease) as my Grandad was diagnosed with this disease. It’s a cruel disease that affects the nerves in your brain and spinal cord which results in difficulty of the way you walk, talk, eat, drink and breath. We managed to raise £1,200! Please go to mndassociation.org for more information and to donate to the good cause.”

“In 2022 I started to look into building my business and created my logo. I got my food hygiene rating certificate as 5 star and was very excited.”

“In March 2023 I did my first bake sale at a local fair and was shocked at how well it went, I also got my first online order, I have now done 9 fairs.”

“Whenever I can, I like to drop off cakes and bakes to the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath, in the A&E ward for the amazing, hardworking doctors and nurses.”

“I have just launched my new website which is ellasbakery.store where you can order a selection of cakes and bakes for a treat for yourself, to share or as a gift to others. You can personalise your cupcakes from colour, design and flavour. They are all freshly made by me and delivered to your door.”
