Whether you’re a follower from our early days or are new around here, we’re beyond grateful to have a wonderful community that continues to show us love and support in all we do.

Instagram has been a place where not only do we get to interact with you lovely lot but we get to meet other wonderful small business owners too who always cheer us on and have quickly become our close friends. Over the years, we’ve collaborated with lots of beautiful independent brands who make things we truly love so this week we wanted to share the small business love. Meet the friends of Martha Brook and shop small with some exclusive discounts, just for you…

The most beautiful biscuits and baking kits around! Martha met the founder, Rebecca, of Honeywell Bakes through Not On The High Street and have stayed firm business buddies ever since. Now a certified B-Corp (woo!), we love what they stand for and their mission of being a sustainable and planet-friendly bakery. If you look closely enough, you’ll see a few of their beautifully iced biscuits scattered throughout some of our photoshoots!

Choc on Choc

If you’re looking for innovative chocolates and deliciously sweet treats, look no further than Choc on Choc! Martha also met their founder, Flo, through Not On The High Street and came to realise their founder, Flo, is friends with a friend of Mr B aka our Head of Operations! Flo has been a constant supporter of Martha Brook and have given us some solid advice along the way.

The most instagram-worthy treats we ever did see! The sky is the limit with Baked By Steph who can create pretty much anything you want…on a biscuit! With other delicious baked goods on offer too, Baked by Steph is one to watch and a small business we think you should know about. A fellow female founder, Steph and Martha did a brilliant IG live chatting all about their experiences on following your heart and starting a business.

Hazel & Blue

Light up your home with beautifully scented soy candles by Hazel & Blue! These delightful eco-friendly candles are hand-poured in Wiltshire . Another female-founded small business, Hazel & Blue was born in 2016 at a kitchen table after their founder, Becky, couldn’t find natural and sustainable scented candles. We always see Hazel & Blue in the comments, cheering us on and supporting us in whatever we do, which is so appreciated.

You might have seen we had the most epic stationery themed cake to share with the team to celebrate reaching 100k. We didn’t realise cake could get better?! The incredibly talented Jasmine, who founded Little Cake Garden, has been a firm friend of Martha Brook for years now and has made us quite a few beautiful cakes over the years.
