A humble hello

This is the start of something new, another chapter, another place to share my love for baking and my endless adventures in the kitchen.

If you’re a new reader here, welcome! My name is Brooke Bellamy and I’m the owner of Brooki Bakehouse, a popular little bakery that swept the internet with my “day in my life as a bakery owner” videos. It was incredible to see how many people tuned in to watch these videos and see the daily undertakings of life inside a bakery, often starting before sunrise and finishing well and truly after sunset. My days were always long – typically 12 hours a day, often more.

And then, a new chapter began!

As I write this first diary entry, I am in my third trimester of my first pregnancy. I’m a week away from my wedding, two weeks away from moving house, and have just announced my debut cookbook, Bake with Brooki, publishing in October. And of course, I’m still hard at work building my business. To say it is a big year is an understatement!

I’m excited about this new chapter as a new mum and excited to see how I can find a way to manage it all. After a few months of maternity leave I plan to return to the bakery a few days a week, managing my time between being a new mum, a business owner, and allowing myself to continue my love for baking both in the bakery and in my home kitchen.

I decided to start this blog as a way to document home life in the meantime. As someone who loves to cook, loves to read and is a self confessed homebody, I look forward to documenting home life with likeminded readers who love the same things – homemaking, entertaining, and more than anything, baking.

See you soon in my home kitchen!

Lots of love, Brooke
