How it all began......

Before starting Cherry’s Custom Cups, I worked as a pastry chef and catering manager, a career I loved creatively but over time I found myself struggling with the stressful environment of the kitchen and knew I needed to take a step back.

I had always dreamed of one day working for myself and building something of my own, but I just hadn’t found the right path yet.

My two daughters, Taylor and Ella, who have always been obsessed with cups and tumblers, came up with the idea of me making personalised cups, partly to save them money ordering new ones all the time! What started as a fun little idea quickly turned into something so much more.

Taylor and Ella’s role in the business didn’t stop at the original idea, they continue to be a huge part of Cherry’s Custom Cups every single day. They’re constantly helping me keep up with new trends, sharing fresh ideas, and giving me their opinions on designs. Their creativity, honesty, and input play a vital role in the business. They also love helping out at my pop-up events, making them a special part of the Cherry’s Custom Cups journey. One of the things I love most about this business is being able to do something I’m passionate about whilst having them so involved and by my side every step of the way.

As soon as I began creating, I completely fell in love with it. I loved bringing designs to life, creating something unique, and seeing people’s ideas become reality. It didn’t take long for me to realise this was something I was truly passionate about and could see myself doing full time.

So I took the leap, left my job, and turned that passion into my full-time business — and Cherry’s Custom Cups was born.

Now I get to spend every day doing something I genuinely love, creating personalised products for others whilst building the dream I always hoped for.
