Hello!
Lovely to have you here :)
My name is Megan, and I am the owner of Little Red Bakery. One woman show right here!
Why ‘Little Red Bakery’? My journey into creating baked goods, started with a humble little red velvet cupcake. Also, if you are aware of the classic tale, Little Red Riding Hood, she brings a basket of cake and wine to her sick grandmother - that’s me! Bringer (and eater) of cake and wine :)
Before becoming a pastry chef, I studied nursing in 2009, though I never completed it as I had my first child. After that, I studied to become a primary school teacher in 2011. I also didn’t complete this degree, as I had a second babe. It was then, as a stay-at-home mum of 2, that I found my passion for baking. I continued to self teach, until 2015 I finally decided to enroll full time in a Patisserie course. This, dear readers, I had completed!
Little Red Bakery was still a part-time gig for me, as I commenced my start in the pastry world, and landed a job at The Grounds of Alexandria. It was here that I learnt so much about pastry life, and about working in a commercial kitchen.
Fast forward 3 years, I became pregnant with baby number 3 - which concluded my role at The Grounds, and opened up a new door of opportunity.
Now here I am, ready to share my creations with you.
