Bakery Cottage is a micro-bakery run by Helen Easom from her five-star food hygiene approved home kitchen in Melton Mowbray. What started as a small-scale passion has blossomed into a beloved local business, operating through an honesty cabinet and online ordering.

Helen specialises in decadent bakes – gooey brownies, blondies, cake jars and Friday treat boxes – all made by hand using top-quality ingredients. Flavours range from Kinder, Biscoff and salted caramel to rhubarb & custard and pistachio & white chocolate, with regular seasonal specials to keep things fresh.

Bakery Cottage’s reputation speaks for itself: a finalist in the Great Food Club Awards 2019/20, winner of Best Cake Baker in Great Food Magazine, and crowned People’s Choice Champion 2025/6 in the Great Food Club Awards.

Helen’s ethos is simple – hearty, delicious food that feels like a gift, whether you’re treating yourself or surprising someone else.
