About Us
Hello!
I'm Gemma, the face behind The Copper Kitchen.
Originally a secondary school hospitality and catering teacher, I decided to take the plunge and start the business in July 2019. It has been a rollercoaster journey learning everything from website design, social media, business and photography skills but I am proud of where we are today!
It's been exciting to develop 'The Annex' over the last few years as the business has grown - an industrial kitchen to prepare orders and store the extensive range of vintage crockery and presentation equipment.
We truly are a family business; Mr Copper Kitchen helps with the technical side of the business, Papa Copper Kitchen helps with deliveries and Mama Copper Kitchen works behind the scenes on anything from preparing packaging to ironing the many vintage tablecloths we use!
We now also have a Mini Copper Kitchen who is very keen to learn baking skills - albeit only being 2 years old!
Baking and hospitality is in my DNA; my great grandfather owned a bakery in London with my great grandmother running the tea room within the shop. My dad's cousin also owned a bakery in Northampton so baking really is in all generations. The essence of the business name 'The Copper Kitchen' comes from my grandad whose nickname was 'Copper Kettle'.
I love helping to create memories from making cakes and catering from events. It is always an honour to have a little part in someone's special occasion.
Gemma
