They will have their own section for customers to come and collect sweet treats without having to order before.

Isabella said: “It’s a brilliant way to reach new customers and for our regulars to come and see us and know we are there.

“Customers sometimes want to come and get cakes off us, and then go off and get their pies, so I think they we will complement each other.”

Isabella says that Bella’s Bakes saw huge success at the Bolton Food and Drink Festival, as well as pop up market stalls.

Isabella added: “Not everyone wants to pre-order so working with Hunters The Bakers and doing the Bolton Food and Drink Festival gives people the opportunity for impulse orders.

“When we did the food and drink festival, we were sold out every day and we took 400 cakes every day.

“Hunters said that they watched us grow on social media and liked what we did.

“People like supporting independent businesses and local businesses, especially since Covid.”

Natalie mostly does the baking, whilst Isabell focuses on the cake decorating.

One of the most popular items at Bella's Bakes is their Friday treat box, which has a mixture of cakes and pastries, available on a first come first served basis.

It is so popular that Isabella says that people set their alarms to come and collect the boxes.

She added: “It’s been three years since we did this full time.

“My mum always used to bake when we were young, and when I was around eight, I went in the kitchen and started baking.

“Last year we didn’t slow down, and this year has started the same.

“I enjoy creating personalised cakes for people and making people happy with food.”
