My Story of Georgia Faye Bakes
I started baking as a hobby at the start of 2015, baking all things cake. This started out because I was in and out of hospital, with now what they know. My Addison, back then they didn't know what was wrong and it took them some time to get to the bottom of it. So baking became my hobby and I just fell in love with making all different sweet things. In December 2015, with lots of encouragement from family and friends I started a Facebook page as Georgia Faye Cakes.
19 year old me was completely unaware where I was going to go with my business. I registered my business as Georgia Faye cakes from my parents home, created a logo, got insured and a hygiene rating so all my customers to be knew their bakes where coming for a clean environment with all the correct paperwork.
Over the years I’ve made sure I’ve done all the relevant courses and kept them up to date. I watched hours after hours of YouTube videos and practiced a lot.
​
The years went on and my business started to grow. I was working a full time job as a carer and then coming home and baking sometimes I would be working till midnight. When Covid hit I couldn’t work as I was classed as high risk of catching it, this pushed me to do my baking full time. I was so nervous about this and wasn’t sure if it was going to work. But If I didn’t try I would member know. So I took the plunge to do it!
June 2022 while on maternity I realised that I had outgrown my original logo and name, as I no longer just offered cakes. I offer all sorts of delicious bakes. And that’s when I became know as Georgia Faye Bakes.
Since then my business has gone from strength to strength. I’ve met and worked alongside some amazing companies, and made friends for life along the way.
March 2022 I became a mum to a beautiful little boy, most of you will have met him when I use to do collections from my home bakery in Alsager as he always loved to say hello
​ June 2024 all my dreams became a reality. I finally took the plunge to open my own bakery as I had very quickly outgrown my tiny terrace home kitchen after going full time baking. I opened the doors for the first time to you all, to come to in on the 9th June 2024 to my very own unit and bakery, and what a turn out my open day way! The sun was shining, I was having lines of people waiting to come and have a look. It was just so lovely to see so many familiar faces along with lots of new ones. I sold out completely within a few hours, which I didn't expect. I was so overwhelmed and grateful.
It goes without saying, without all your love and support I wouldn’t be where I am today. So thankyou

2025
In may 2025 I decided that it was time for a refresh. My bakery has been open a whole year in June, I've moved into my new unit and also expecting my second little boy in September. So I thought it was time to ditch the bright logo and go a little bit more minimalistic and classy, and this is what I created. The last year has been a whirlwind of a ride but I wouldn't change it for the world. Ive met so many new customers and welcomed so many of you who have followed me from day one.
​
2025 for me has been a year of growth and I can't wait to see what the next six months to a year has in store. This year has been my busiest yet for bespoke and weddings and I'm fully here for it.
