What started in the family kitchen as a hobby to provide treats and desserts to friends and family soon grew more popular as word spread. Soon enough, she was taking over the family kitchen and the decision was made (after much convincing from Fern) that Paul (Ferns Dad, aka Paulo) was going to give up half of his garage to be turned into a baking space and a wall was built down the middle (the kitchen being in the back half, hence hidden)
Whilst he was converting the space he also suffered a bout of Global Transient Amnesia and lost all memory of starting the renovation- another reason the name The Hidden Kitchen was eventually chosen.
Thankfully he made a full recovery soon after. Fern continued to bake from there for years until it was time to take over the other half of the garage in exchange for a shiny new shed for Paulo and the Kitchen finally had a front door!
The business has continued to grow in popularity so in early 2023 Fern decided to take the leap and move to a bigger premises which is currently in Stamford Street Central in Ashton Under Lyne. Fern hopes to continue the same standard as the business grows and start a small team of bakers to keep baking for the local area and beyond

Stunning little bakery, only open a couple days a week, pretty much sells out in an hour or two, so be quick, get in line early to not be disappointed. We waited 20mins In the que outside, but it's so worth it. The cakes are amazing, fresh, beautifully presented and keenly priced. I will definitely be going back and I now understand what all the hype is about.

Ordered from here for the first time last week and can safely say it won’t be the last! Everything was bang on and the custard cream blondies were unreal! By far the best sweet treat I’ve ever had! If you haven’t ordered yet then make sure you do! You won’t regret it!!

It was my dad that told me about this place in Ashton and it made these delicious cakes, so one Saturday I popped in to see what all the fuss was about. I bought Brownies, Blondies, Teacake Cookies and a Cheese Cake for us all to try, they didn't disappoint. The ladies are lovely and friendly, the shop is spotlessly clean. Even though it only opens on a Friday and Saturday, there's plenty of choice. Friday usually has a queue but it soon goes down, Saturday is usually online orders but they still have cakes and cookies over. So don't walk by, pop in enjoy the delicious treats on offer

Literally the best! Found them on TikTok and was so happy when I saw they weren’t too far for me. I can’t buy brownies/blondes from anywhere else now as I know they won’t compare! The cookie tea cakes are unreal 😍
