Sally Berrisford-Pratt, founder of Sally's Baked with Love, will exhibit at the three-day festival taking place at Tatton Park, Knutsford, from 10th–12th July 2026. As part of the festival programme, she will also appear in the popular Cake & Bake Theatre, where she will demonstrate some of the techniques behind her handcrafted cheesecakes.

The invitation marks a major milestone for the Stoke-on-Trent cheesecake specialist, whose business began in her home kitchen in 2021 and has since grown into a well-loved local brand with a loyal customer following across Staffordshire and beyond.

While baking had always been a passion, Sally's love of cheesecake inspired her to start creating homemade cheesecakes for friends and family. As demand grew, what began as a hobby soon developed into a thriving local business built on quality, creativity and community support.

While the business has grown significantly since 2021, every cheesecake is still handmade by Sally in Trentham, Stoke-on-Trent, ensuring the same personal touch that customers have come to expect.

What sets Sally's cheesecakes apart is her commitment to quality and attention to detail. Every cheesecake is handmade to order using premium ingredients, including locally sourced eggs and cream cheese from suppliers across Cheshire and Derbyshire. Baked using a traditional water bath method, her cheesecakes are known for their smooth, creamy texture and exceptional flavour.

Today, Sally's Baked with Love supplies local retailers including One Stop Packmoor, regularly attends artisan markets and food events across Staffordshire and Cheshire, and creates made-to-order cheesecakes for birthdays, weddings, celebrations and special occasions.

The business has built a strong reputation for both classic favourites and creative flavour combinations, attracting customers from across the region and earning a loyal following of returning customers.

Speaking about the opportunity, Sally commented:

"This is a really proud moment for me and something I honestly couldn't have imagined when I first started. I am incredibly grateful to all of the customers, local businesses, market organisers, friends and family who have supported Sally's Baked with Love over the years. Every order, recommendation and visit to my stall has helped the business grow to where it is today.
To be invited to showcase my business at Foodies Festival and demonstrate in the Cake & Bake Theatre is a fantastic opportunity. I'm really looking forward to meeting visitors, sharing my passion for baking and showcasing what Sally's Baked with Love is all about."

Visitors to Foodies Festival Cheshire will have the opportunity to meet Sally, sample a selection of her handcrafted cheesecakes and discover some of the flavour combinations that have helped make the business a favourite amongst customers across the region.

As part of the festival programme, Sally will also take to the stage in the Cake & Bake Theatre, where she will share her passion for baking and demonstrate some of the techniques behind her cheesecakes.

The invitation marks the latest milestone for a local business that has grown from a home baking hobby into a well-loved Staffordshire success story.

Foodies Festival Cheshire takes place at Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire, WA16 6SG, from 10th–12th July 2026.
