Crazy Baker started in 2009 by Sophie Grey.
Sophie had been running an events catering business and in the 2007/8 recession started baking. Her baker friend suggested she take the bread to a local deli and from there the wholesale bakery started. Setting up a bakery in the catering premises and starting with one customer, Sophie made, baked, packed and delivered the first order.
The Crazy Baker name came from Sophie’s husband. She was practising all the breads in her home kitchen and he walked in to a steaming hot kitchen, covered in flour and crates of bread on the kitchen table as she was pulling more loaves of sourdough out of the oven and said oh it’s ‘the Crazy Baker’
Sophie joined forces with head baker Karen Street in 2010 and Crazy Baker has now grown- to be a fully functional wholesale artisan bakery with more than 250 customers delivering 365 days a year – baking sourdoughs, everyday bread, ciabatta and viennoiserie all by hand. Also, cakes, cookies, brownies and more. We have a separate site to bake our gluten free products and we are pleased to announce that we are opening our new wholesale bakery in The Old Torpedo Factory, Park Royal in September 2025.
