Bakery Assistant

Who we are:

At Elle’s Bakery we have set out to make the most unique bakes that we offer. What grew from an idea and a ‘side hustle’ baking out of my parents' kitchen alongside university, has now turned into a flourishing small business based in Rochester, Kent. We pride ourselves on fresh, handmade, flavoursome deep dish cookies all containing a core filling, with our most popular cookie being our Kinderella Deep Dish Cookie.
