Find out more about Bakes by Bear!
Founded in 2024 by Claire, a former teacher based in Southampton, who decided to trade the classroom for the kitchen. Bakes by Bear is the result of a lifelong love for baking and the dream of creating something truly special.
A Message from Claire
After years of balancing a demanding career with family life, I decided it was time for a change—one that would allow me to spend more time at home with my children and pursue my passion for baking.
Taking the plunge to set up my own business was both exciting and nerve-wracking, but it offered the flexibility I needed to be present for my family while doing something I genuinely love. Working from home has given me the freedom to create delicious brownies and cookies, crafted with care, for people who appreciate homemade treats.
Bakes by Bear is more than just a business—it's the fulfilment of a dream to share the joy of freshly baked goods while also embracing a lifestyle that allows me to be there for the moments that matter most at home. Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting a small, family-run businesses like mine.
Happy eating!
