About Me
I’m not one of those bakers with a sweet background story. I never baked with my nan! I just started baking. I liked it. And I didn’t stop!
I’m Sophie Couldwell, a baker from South London. When I was 10 years old, I was given a recipe for chocolate and raspberry brownies in a party bag. They became my favourite thing to bake. After 15 years of tweaks and perfections, I describe my chocolate raspberry brownies as pure happiness! And, of course, there was no better name for my baking business.
At the end of 2018, my Instagram page, which was crammed with good-enough-to-eat photography, landed me an incredible opportunity to work as a patisserie chef, in France, for an entire ski season. I spent 3 and a half amazing, exhausting months in a fast-paced kitchen. With 100 sweet and 100 savoury afternoon tea portions to bake every single day, including dairy free, gluten free and vegan options, it was an incredible learning experience.
Back in the UK, I am thrilled to be able to use my new-found knowledge to push my Chocolate Raspberry creations to the next level. Alongside my day job in a creative advertising agency, I’m happily taking on flurries of commissions and launching Chocolate Raspberry at food markets and postal boxes to great success.
I believe that if you are going to treat yourself then you should go all the way. My cakes never fail to make people say ‘WOW’. And I absolutely love that.
