Where Magic Meets Buttercream
Dotty’s Little Bakery began long before the logo, the biscuits, or the sparkles.
It started with my Grandma Dotty — the woman who taught me that baking wasn’t just about ingredients, it was about heart. Warm kitchens, mismatched mixing bowls, “just a little more vanilla,” and the kind of recipes that feel like hugs.
Today, Dotty’s is my way of carrying that magic forward.
A one-woman bakery filled with pastel colours, edible glitter, far too many sprinkles, and a whole lot of storytelling.
If you’re here, you’re part of it now too.
Baker. Storyteller. Chaos Coordinator.
I’m Claire, trained chocolatier, fondant-fiddler, biscuit artist, nostalgic baker, and occasionally unhinged kitchen fairy.
Dotty’s Little Bakery is my home-grown dream built between school runs, late-night baking sessions, Christmas chaos, and a lifelong love of creating edible joy.
I’m fuelled by…
• Pastel colours
• Family recipes
• Whimsical ideas
• Slightly chaotic energy
• And the belief that food tastes better when it makes you smile
Handcrafted. Heartfelt. Dusted With Magic
Every product, blog post, recipe and crumb is rooted in 3 things:
✨ Craft — I believe in handmade, high-quality, small-batch treats.
💗 Heart — Every bake carries a story, a memory, or a moment.
💫 Magic — That sprinkle of something special you can’t quite describe, but you feel.
Dotty’s isn’t just a bakery.
It’s a place where memories are made edible.
Whisky Business: The Blog
This blog is the behind-the-scenes of the bakery — the cosy corner where I can share the things you don’t always see on Facebook:
• Recipes from my kitchen
• Tutorials for beginners & biscuit artists
• Festive Fridays baking series
• Tips I’ve learned the hard way
• The sweet, sparkly, honest sides of being a one-woman bakery
It’s a space to learn, connect, laugh, and remember why baking brings us all together.
My Promise To You
To bake with intention.
To create with heart.
To share the chaos as much as the magic.
And to bring a little sweetness to your day, whether through a recipe, a biscuit, or just a sprinkle of whimsy on this blog.
Thank You for Being Here
Thank you for reading, supporting, baking, sharing, and cheering on this slightly unhinged dream of mine.
Now… shall we whisk through life together?
