Hi, My name is Nicola, and I am the heart behind Cottage Grove Bakery!
I was born and raised in Manchester, England, before my family moved to California. For many years, I worked as a nanny—a role I loved—but my true passion had always been baking. At 30, I found myself wondering, Am I too old to go to baking school? When I asked my husband, he simply said, "If you're passionate about it and it makes you happy, you should go for it." With his support, in 2005. I enrolled at The San Francisco Baking Institute, a renowned French pastry school, and earned my Pastry Chef Diploma.
After working in a beloved local cakery, I launched my own business, creating custom birthday and wedding cakes—crafting everything from elegant tiered designs to decadent chocolate truffles. During this time, I also had the joy of volunteering with Cake4Kids, a nonprofit that provides birthday cakes for children in the foster system—a cause close to my heart.
Now living in Mooresville, North Carolina, I’m thrilled to return to what I love most: baking! My approach is simple—no shortcuts, no fancy ingredients—just tried-and-true recipes and classic techniques that celebrate the beauty of real baking.
I can’t wait to share my love of home-baked goodness with you!
