Imagine starting a cupcake shop during a global pandemic. Sound daunting? Not for Rosanagh Bailey, the mastermind behind Cheshire Cupcakes, a bakery taking the Cheshire food scene by storm. What began as a fun hobby in her Nantwich kitchen quickly blossomed into a runaway success, earning her a well-deserved nomination for Cheshire Food Producer of the Year at the 2023 Taste Cheshire Awards.

It all started with a dream – and some seriously delicious bakes. Fresh out of university, Rosanagh, armed with her passion for baking, took a leap of faith and opened her first cupcake shop in the heart of Nantwich. But this wasn’t your average lockdown venture. Queues snaked down the street, a testament to the irresistible charm of her cupcakes, brownies, and blondies. From Lindt-topped chocolate cupcakes to Cherry Bakewell blondies, each bite was a celebration of flavour, crafted with love and the finest local ingredients.

Success didn’t just bring sweet satisfaction; it fuelled ambition. With a booming business and a growing team, Rosanagh set her sights on a second location – the vibrant town of Altrincham. After testing the waters with a bustling stall at the famous Altrincham Market, she found the perfect spot: a charming pink haven transformed from a former office building.

Step inside Cheshire Cupcakes’ Altrincham outpost, and you’re greeted by a symphony of pink hues and the irresistible aroma of freshly baked treats. Indulge in their signature cupcakes, brownies, and blondies, each boasting a generous array of chocolatey toppings. But the story doesn’t end there. This delightful café also offers a tempting selection of coffees, hot chocolates, and cereal-topped concoctions (think Lucky Charm Lattes and Cookie Crisp Cappuccinos!).

Rosanagh’s journey is one of passion, perseverance, and a whole lot of deliciousness. From humble beginnings to a thriving business with two locations, she’s a shining example of what dedication and a love for good food can achieve.

So, next time you find yourself in Cheshire, do yourself a favour and pop into Cheshire Cupcakes. Treat yourself to a taste of their magic, and discover why they’re a true contender for the title of Cheshire’s sweetest success story. You won’t be disappointed!
