Hi! I’m Holly

I’m the owner of Little Bear Bakes.

I’ve loved baking since I was a little girl when I used to bake alongside my Gran and Dad. I’ve always been a big fan of eating sweet treats too!

Originally a primary school teacher, I left teaching to spend more time with my own two little bears and my hobby became a small business in 2023. Since opening my Cake Shed in 2025, I’ve been busier than ever and am so excited to now offer postal bakes too!

Thank you for supporting my dream.
