Lulubelle’s Cakes started life in Louisa’s home kitchen back in April 2010. Originally with the mission to Deliver Happiness, the concept was simple, a delivery service for boxes of cupcakes as an alternative the the standard deliverable gifts or flowers or chocolates. The business grew steadily, and helped by a couple of regular contracts delivering to salons and cafe’s the home kitchen was quickly outgrown.
One of Louisa’s friends, Nicky Hargadon, mentioned that she had some spare room inside her business Ollie’s Closet in Winton and Louisa saw the opportunity to turn an unused space into a working kitchen. The kitchen was built and opened in June 2011. With no traditional shop front or counter but a window through from Ollie’s Closet, Nicky’s customers were able to smell and see the cakes being made on a daily basis.
Business continued to grow and in early 2012 Louisa spotted another opportunity to move the business forward and quickly moved into an empty unit in Canford Cliffs. The business now operates with a small team of Cake Fairies and continues to deliver happiness all around!
