A talented mum is turning her hand to business and baking with a new sweet-treats catering company.
Charlie Brown, 33, who lives in Bushmead, makes everything from gluten-free chocolate brownies to giant mallow lollies to traditional celebration cakes.
The mum of two (Martha, two, and Oscar, four) has no previous business experience, but says the feedback she’s had from her products so far has been fantastic, and she sold out of everything at The Grove Theatre Easter arts and crafts fair.
Charlie said: “I’ve always baked for family and friends as a hobby, then after I had Martha I decided to leave work and be at home with the children. I was baking cakes anyway so I thought, I could do something with this. There are lots of cake-makers out there but I wanted to be about homebaking and the best ingredients I can afford.”
Treats from Martha’s kitchen are made with quality ingredients, made to order. The gluten-free chocolate brownies are best-sellers.
Charlie said: “The children are always happy to lick the bowl but I’m not letting them loose in the kitchen yet!”
