Rose Bakewell is a devoted mother to three beautiful children and two beloved dogs, Ollie and Lucy, who remain convinced they run the household.

An award-winning author with a deep love for history and a particular fondness for British history, it seems only fitting that she would launch a business devoted to one of Britain’s most cherished traditions.

She founded Mrs. Bakewell’s after discovering Maryland’s shocking shortage of proper English scones.

Her love of the kitchen led to an invitation to join the cast of The Great American Baking Show in England, where she learned that even the most joyful bakes require equal parts art, precision, and nerve.

The Lottie book series was inspired by Rose’s daughter Charlotte and her wish to give readers that comfy-cozy feeling of home. Charlotte has been baking since the days when a bag of flour weighed more than she did and measuring cups doubled as toys, enthusiastically creating as much mess as magic, which, if you ask Rose, is exactly how the best memories are made.
