We are Mejoolies
The Baker & The Chocolate Maker
Lindsay Bakes, Kerry Makes (The chocolatey stuff that is ).
We are excited to share our sweet creations with you. Whether you are celebrating something special or just treating yourself, we’ve got the goodies to make your day a little sweeter!
Lindsay – the baker
I’m Lindsay, and I head up the baking side of the business—from coming up with yummy ideas for our shop counter to deciding what magic goes into our postal and subscription boxes.
I absolutely love to bake; it’s definitely in the genes—my gran owned her own bakery back in the day! My favourite part is making the cookie pies, but the best part is watching people’s reactions when they take their first bite!
Outside of work, I’m an adrenaline junkie who loves watersports and has been waterskiing since I was seven years old! I also enjoy heading to our local ski slope and am currently learning how to snowboard.
In my downtime, you’ll find me tackling escape rooms, enjoying the theatre, or planning my next travel adventure.
Kerry – the Chocolate maker
Hi, I’m Kerry and I am the creator, maker and head chocolatier. I love coming up with new concepts and flavours for the chocolates and once I’m in my chocolate kitchen it’s hard to get me to leave!
My favourite things to make are our fully loaded chocolate bars. There are so many ideas I can’t wait to experiment with! I love making chocolate for Christmas and Halloween.
I am a total self-confessed empath. I love seeing happy smiley faces so dont forget to tag us in your photos enjoying our goodies.
On the rare occasion I take time off I love nothing more than a relaxing hot tub holiday in Cornwall. My favourite things are forest walks and sitting on a beach watching the sun go down.
I’m a Netflix junkie, addicted to board games, jigsaws and sudoku. Also can’t beat an escape room!
How it all
BEGAN
In 2010 Kerry started making cake pops as a hobby but didn’t know how to temper chocolate properly.
For Christmas Lindsay bought Kerry a half day chocolate making class at Slatterys in Manchester. What we didn’t realise was how much this would later change everything!
This was the beginning of our chocolate dream. We opened a shop – The Chocolate Boutique, where we were able to fill the shop with our very own handmade chocolates.
Our little chocolate shop grew fast and expanded quickly. Taking the business online was a huge step and something we’ve never looked back from.
Why Mejoolies
Mejoolies – where family and fun unite! Inspired by our mums—our greatest supporters
After the tragic loss of Kerry’s mum, June (aka Julie), to covid in October 2020, we decided it was time for a fresh chapter in the business. Thus, Mejoolies was born, embodying our values and memories.
“Mejoolies” is made up of all of our initials from our family:
- J for June (aka Julie)
- OO for our beloved beagle, Betsie bOOdle
- L for Lindsay
- I for Irene (Lindsay’s mum)
Kejoolies didnt work lol so theres ME at the beginning (Kerry)
