Hello, I'm Harriet.

​

I founded Boujon Bakery at home in August 2020 – a positive aspect that came out of the pandemic. After graduating from university with a degree in Spanish during lockdown, my original career path within the events and travel industries was put on hold.

Baking has never been a skill of mine until I discovered the joys of biscuit decorating. I, like many of you I’m sure, was drawn in by the satisfying icing videos on Instagram and wanted to give it a go myself.

To begin with, icing biscuits was just a hobby I discovered whilst applying for jobs over the summer in my kitchen at home. After a bit of practice, I started gifting my decorated biscuits to friends and family members. It didn’t take long for the news to spread about my bespoke hand-iced biscuits and cakes, and I started to get paid for the odd biscuit boxes as gifts.

This is when the thought of turning my hobby into a business became real. After some initial research, I noticed a gap in the market for personalised biscuits, something to make me stand out and differ from the other companies already selling iced biscuits. I have always loved finding personalised gifts for friends and family as they mean so much more, so what a better way than to create an edible personalised gift… A couple of months later and with a lot of practise, Boujon quickly became my full-time job!

In the last 3 years, Boujon Bakery has gone from a tiny start-up selling biscuits to the general public, to now creating huge bespoke corporate orders (some around 500 biscuits) for companies such as Hyperoptic, Penguin Random House, and Savills.

​

Receiving personalised orders is something I thrive off as it brings new challenges every day. I love that each box gives me an insight into a person's life, a company, a celebration or something unique & special. I genuinely love my job and take pride in each and every biscuit that I decorate.

I look forward to seeing what unusual and exciting designs you throw my way...
 

Cookie love, Harriet.
