VEGANUARY - MEET THE MAKER: Amy from CHUNK COOKIES
What’s the name of your business? CHUNK COOKIES
Is running your business your full time job?: Yes
How long have you been running your business? Since august 2020 - around 2.5 years!
What inspired you to start doing what you do?: My mum was vegan and I was so fed up of her not having any decent vegan options for desserts or at cafes etc when we went out! I was also studying environment at uni and was frustrated at the lack of sustainability, I couldn’t find any sweet treat places that were eco conscious! We were baking during lockdown and all my job interviews were being cancelled due to covid so I put two and two together to make some extra money on the weekend and started selling cookies at Uni!
What is your signature bake / cake / chocolate creation? : Chocolate fudge brownie!! It’s only been out a few months and is already our all time best seller!
Are your bakes/cakes/chocs available online with UK delivery?: Yes
If you answered yes to the above, please add website below : www.chunkcookiesuk.co.uk
Would you say most of your customers are vegan?: Online yes! But at markets we don’t really advertise that we’re vegan anymore so the majority of people that eat our cookies at markets aren’t vegan!
What's your favourite Saturday night dinner or take away? : Wawin Chinese everyyy time it’s a vegan’s dream
Dream holiday destination? : Anywhere in South America! I’ve never been and would love to travel there!
Favourite season?: Spring! Warm sunny weather but no melted cookies
