Our Story
Hello! I’m Bertie. Thanks for being here.
In 2024, after stepping away from my corporate job, I found myself spending more time in the kitchen cooking for my wife. One evening I baked a Basque cheesecake for her, and everything changed.
She loved it. I loved it. And I couldn’t stop making it.
What began as a one-off dessert turned into a ritual: late-night tweaks, new versions every week, friends dropping in for taste tests, and that moment when their faces lit up after the first bite.
That feeling became the spark behind Bertie’s Cheesecake.
We launched in December 2025 from our home kitchen in St Neots. Still tiny, still handmade.
Every cheesecake is slow-baked in small batches, with real ingredients and a soft, creamy centre that makes people pause and smile.
But this launch isn’t just about selling cheesecake.
It’s the beginning of something we’re building with you. A local, independent brand that grows through community and shared moments around great food.
The illustration you see here was painted by my wife. It’s me and our miniature Goldendoodle, Kiwi. A reminder that everything we do here is personal, homemade, and rooted in heart.
Thank you for joining us at the very start.
Let’s see where this journey takes us, one cheesecake at a time.
We look forward to baking a great cheesecake you'll love soon !
Quality You Can Trust
We’re proud to share that Bertie's Cheesecake has officially been awarded the highest possible Food Hygiene Rating (5, very good) from the Food Standards Agency. For us, excellence starts in the kitchen.

We are thrilled to be out on the road! Since January 2026, we’ve been popping up with fresh cheesecake slices at markets across Cambridge, St Neots, and Bedford. There is nothing we love more than meeting our fellow cheesecake fans in person.
