From Local Markets to National Sensation.
What happens when a passionate baker gets fed up with mediocre cakes? She starts a revolution. Susie Lemon's kitchen experiments in 2017 have evolved into the UK's most beloved brownie delivery service where every batch is baked with the same obsessive attention to detail that started it all.

Meet The Team
Behind every gooey brownie and perfectly packaged letterbox delivery is our passionate team of bakers, packers, and brownie enthusiasts. From Susie's original kitchen experiments to our bakery, we're the people who ensure every Simply Cake Co. treat exceeds your expectations, and we wouldn't have it any other way.


Susie Ayres
Hi, I’m Susie, and I’m the founder of Simply Cake Co. Prior to Simply Cake Co., I worked in the food industry for a number of years, including many years as a waitress and kitchen porter whilst studying, followed by a couple of years in the FMCG industry.
My favourite products are the classics… especially the triple chocolate brownie. Though a special shout out to raspberry brownies, which we like to make as a special from time to time – I love the sharpness of the raspberries with the rich brownie!
In my free time, I enjoy riding my motorcycle, painting and playing hockey; however, more recently, free time has been quite hard to come by due to having a baby last year! So I spend most of my time now navigating the new world of being a mum and running a business simultaneously!

Dana
I’m Dana, and I have been at Simply Cake Co. for 4 years now! I have spent all my working life in the food industry, and this has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl, always watching Delia Smith.
Before Simply Cake Co., I worked in fine dining restaurants, working front and back of house.
What I enjoy most about my job is trialling and creating new monthly specials. I like the challenge of trying to find something new for you to all enjoy each month. You may find me as your hand model sometimes on social media.
My favourite product is the Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies; you wouldn’t even know they’re vegan. In my free time, I watch Formula 1, keep up with current food trends and try out the latest bakeries and restaurants. Most of my time at the moment I spend looking after and watching my cute dog Ozzy, he has very quickly become my entire world.

Amy
Hi, I’m Amy, the one at the other end of your email for any enquiries you have. I’ve been at Simply Cake Co. for 3 years. I now organise corporate and wedding orders alongside social media and customer service. My favourite product is our photo brownie slabs. I love coming up with new designs for each season and seeing which designs are most popular!
I run my own small business creating bespoke homeware items. You may find Smudge Creations at various Norfolk makers’ markets throughout the year. I am heavily involved with helping the community and organising fundraising events to give back to the local villages. In my free time, I enjoy watching sports at my local pub with a pint of Guinness.

Bianca
I’m Bianca, and I have been at Simply Cake Co. for nearly 5 years! I’ve been in the food industry for most of my life, and I was even a butcher at one point.
The best part of this job is seeing all my hard work come together at the end of the day, knowing you are all going to enjoy our brownies.
My favourite product is the Salted Caramel Brownie, a decadent balance of sweet and salty, perfect for me as I am gluten-free myself.
I love to travel the world in my free time and do photoshoots in each country with my wedding dress. My future plans are to travel and buy a house in Italy with my wonderful magician husband.

Mandy
I’m Mandy and I’ve worked at Simply Cake Co for about 5 years. My role has varied over the years, taking on more responsibility over time. My role includes baking, cutting and wrapping brownies.
My favourite product is the cookie dough.
In my spare time, I love baking …you would think I’d be fed up of baking, but no! I also enjoy experimenting with new art techniques and spending time with my beautiful family, especially my granddaughter.

Natasha
Hi, I’m Natasha. I have been at the bakery for 1.5 years!
I enjoy seeing all the wonderful gift messages you send to your loved ones. My favourite part of the job is watching Bianca put together the new monthly specials for the first time. As it is usually the first time I see the new month come together, I find it very mesmerising.
My favourite product is the Nutella Style Brownie, which is a close replica of the Ferrero Rocher Chocolates, but gluten-free!
In my spare time, I am a very busy lady with my two children, as well as running two small businesses. I organise local makers markets and have my own wax melts and fragrance business, Scent With Love.
My hobbies in my spare time include pole fitness to strengthen my core and taking our boat down the river with my family.

The Problem That Started It All
“In 2017 I launched Simply Cake Co. with one aim to get people eating better cakes! It’s always amazed me that you can walk into a cafe, market or food festival and buy a piece of cake that looks lovely but tastes so disappointing. I’ve always loved baking and I knew I could do better, so Simply Cake Co. was born.”
Founder & Chief TasterFrom Markets to Mailboxes
Shop NowWhat began as weekend market stalls quickly evolved into something bigger. Our growing community of brownie lovers wanted the convenience of ordering our treats anytime and the ability to send them as gifts to friends and family across the country.
The solution? A letterbox-friendly delivery system that brings premium brownies directly to your door without the hassle of waiting for parcels. Because let’s face it, who has time to sit around waiting for deliveries these days?
Our mission became crystal clear: create beautiful, indulgent treats that arrive safely through any standard letterbox, anywhere in the UK.
The Ingredients That Make The Difference
Shop NowWe’re obsessive about quality because mediocre ingredients create mediocre results. Every brownie that leaves our bakery contains:
Premium Belgian chocolate sourced from suppliers who share our commitment to excellence.
Local free-range eggs from farms we know and trust.
Real butter because there’s simply no substitute for the genuine article.
These aren’t just ingredients, they’re the building blocks of the indulgent experience our customers crave. It’s why our brownies taste as extraordinary as they look.
Growing Into Our Own Space
Shop NowSuccess meant outgrowing our original setup. What started in a rented corner of another bakery eventually required our very own facility.
We didn’t just rent space, we invested in creating a world-class production environment. Our bakery earned a 5-star Environmental Health rating, ensuring every treat you receive meets the highest standards for safety and hygiene.
As demand continued growing, we expanded into two additional units, adding more ovens, equipment, and storage. Most importantly, we built a team of passionate bakers who share our commitment to creating exceptional treats.
What Drives Us Today
Shop NowEvery morning, our team arrives with one goal: bake brownies so good they’ll make your day better. Whether you’re treating yourself after a tough week or sending a thoughtful gift to someone special, we want that first bite to deliver pure joy.
We’re constantly experimenting with new flavours while perfecting our classics. Our personalised photo brownies let you turn favourite memories into edible masterpieces. Our seasonal specials capture the essence of each time of year.
But through all the growth and innovation, our core promise remains unchanged: every Simply Cake Co. treat will exceed your expectations, just like Susie’s original kitchen experiments exceeded hers.
The Future Looks Sweet
Shop NowWe’re working on exciting developments for our local community while continuing to perfect our UK-wide delivery service. New flavours, enhanced packaging, and innovative treats are always in development.
One thing will never change: our commitment to using premium ingredients and traditional baking methods to create the most indulgent brownies you’ve ever tasted.
Because life really is too short for disappointing desserts.
