About Us
Find Your Passion, and Bake It!
We are all about family. Ever since I was little, I can remember baking with my Mum, and we would always say how fun it would be having a bakery. That dream has become a reality, now the Home Bakes by Hammond Family are making the world a happier place...one cake at a time.
Our Story
I'm a 27 year old self taught baker, who is living her baking dream. If you had asked me before 2021 where I would be now, I would have never said running my own baking business from my home kitchen.
​
After finishing university in 2017, I began working a 9-5 job in finance, married the love of my life, bought our first home, and rescued 3 fur babies.
​
I have always loved baking, but never imagined that I would be here, typing about my story on my own website! The 2020 lockdown allowed me to try new bakes and really start enjoying creating cakes and other treats. And no.. not a single banana bread was baked along the way! After creating cakes for family and friends, I decided to branch out to my local town, and after the amazing support, it was time to take the next steps within my business.
​
In March 2022, after the encouragement from friends and family, and the support from my husband, I decided to leave my full-time job, pursue a part time finance role, and begin building Home Bakes by Hammond alongside my day job. Since starting my business I have also welcomed my first child into the world in September 2023. Some would say I now have a little helper...
​
This site allows me to showcase all of my products, from celebration cakes & brownies, to cake pops and more. I cannot wait to build this business and venture out into more products and bespoke ideas. Who knows where this will take me!
​
We specialise in buttercream cakes for all occasions including Weddings, and make a variety of sweet treats including Brownies, Cake Pops & Cupcakes.
