Hello Jessie Bakes

Exclusive: Meet our yummy-mummy, baking entrepreneur bossing the baking scene atm!

We chat to Jessie, aka Jessie Bakes in an Archangel interview series that celebrates our amazing Archangel gang. A big thank you for helping us get to our 10k milestone on Instagram!

We LOVE your baking style, where do you get your inspo from? 
From all over really! Anywhere from Pinterest / Instagram / Magazines to remembering a classic name form childhood that I fancy recreating. 

Do you have a favourite bakery?
Our local Farm Shop (in deepest North Wales) makes amazing Bread, Cakes and Meringues. And now I’m no city gal but of course, the dream would be to visit Peggy Porschen. 

If you could join us at Cake Angels HQ and design your own product, what would it be? 
Oooh if I was designing a product it would probably be something glittery/ colourful and a really easy to use product that gave bakes a wow factor. That sounds about right for Cake Angels (yum)...

Are you a self-taught baker or do you often look online for tutorials?
Self-taught. Occasionally I’ll look something up but only if it’s a customer Bake. When baking for my family I like to experiment and wing it to a certain extent. 

Can you tell us about some of your recent cake decorating obsessions? 
I’m obsessed with edible flowers and springtime editions to my bakes currently.

What is your baking goal? Open a bakery? Bake for someone famous? Launch a cookbook? Raise money for charity? 
The dream would 100% be a cookbook. Fingers crossed!​

Do you have any upcoming events you want to shout about?
I’m taking a little break from events and pop-ups at the moment having just had my second baby. But plenty of new products launching on the website and regular blog updates. Check out Jessie Bakes amaze website here.

What would be your ideal baking set-up? Imagine having all the budget you want and any backdrop/setting in the world.
A whopping kitchen, full of all the mod cons / my fave products and plenty of fridge space! Light, clean and bright with a good view out of the windows when I’m baking. 

What are the three essential tools/tips for getting the perfect Instagram shot?
Good lighting, a clean bright background and something delicious to photograph! 

Did you know all Cake Angels products have no artificial colours or flavours? Is this important to you?
I did! And yes, super important. I like to know what I’m putting in both my own and my kids' bodies. ​

What is it about Cake Angels that makes you love being an Archangel? 
Cake Angels have been an utter delight to be involved with from day 1. So approachable and supportive of small brands and bakers like me. 

Thank you Jessie, we love what you do and can't wait to reach 20k with you and your gorgeous bakes!
