Bakes & Barbells started years ago as a small hobby alongside an already pretty busy life. It didn’t even have a name back then - it was just me baking constantly and people asking, “Do you sell these?” or “Is this your job?” every time they tried something I’d made.

​

Then I met my other half at the gym. As a qualified PT, he’s always been conscious of what he eats, but somehow those ultra-processed protein bars kept sneaking into our food shop. High protein, yes! But the flavours, textures and long lists of unpronounceable ingredients? Absolutely not.

​

So I started experimenting, creating my own versions with the same protein hit, but with proper flavour and texture that didn’t feel like punishment food. That’s when my love of the gym and my love of baking finally collided and Bakes & Barbells was born.

​

Today, Bakes & Barbells is about balance. Indulgent bakes when you want them, fitness-friendly options when you need them and ingredients you can feel good about either way.

I can’t wait for you to try what I’ve been working on.
