A B O U T M E
My name is Jess Cushway
The self-taught creator, baker and mastermind of Cushway Cakes.
To my right in the photo is my husband Ash - Chief Taster / Communications Officer [when I’m elbow deep in the kitchen!].
We live in Clay Cross, Chesterfield with our two cats and a two Springadors, Lola & Harry! We have been life-long residents in the local areas (Matlock Bath and Wingerworth originally).
I went to college and university to study Visual Comunication - I’ve always had a creative side; whether it’s baking, music or design, I’ve always had something on the go!
I’ve been baking for my family and friends for a few years now, and have always enjoyed it.
Whilst on furlough from my job in 2020, I started doing a weekly ‘cake club’ for Ash’s work colleagues - experimenting with a different idea and creation each week. After getting positive feedback, I thought it was time to take the next step and launch a small business - hence Cushway Cakes is born!
In March 2021 I quit my full time job and decided to put all my focus into Cushway Cakes!
I just want to thank each and every one of you who are following me on my cake journey; your support is greatly appreciated and hearing positive messages makes the long hours worth it.
Here’s to much more cake to come!
