Hello, angel :)

I’m Ruby (or Rubes!), the girl behind Brown Butter Bakes. Dietitian by day, home baker by night (and early morning, and weekend!), and bikini athlete somewhere in between. It's a jam packed life, but I love it.

Brown Butter Bakes is my little Yorkshire home bakery, specialising in small-batch, handcrafted cookies made with my signature brown butter dough and high-quality ingredients, baked with love and posted straight to your front door.

It all started after my friends and family finally convinced me to start selling my bakes. The name comes from my love of brown butter; a humble ingredient transformed into something gloriously nutty, toasty and delicious through a little heat and a few chemical reactions. Which, if you know me, sums up two of my favourite things: baking and food science.

I adore experimenting with flavours, learning new techniques and understanding the why behind what happens in the oven. But my philosophy is simple, if you like it, bake it! Baking science can make you a better baker, but I believe it should inform and guide your creativity, never dictate what you should enjoy. There is no single perfect cookie, cake or recipe, and that's what makes baking so brilliant.

Beyond making lovely things for people to eat, I absolutely LOVE teaching, learning and cheering on my fellow bakers. I'm a firm believer in sharing knowledge rather than gatekeeping it, and making the wonderful world of baking a little more accessible to everyone.

That's why, alongside my bakes, you'll find plenty of ways to learn, experiment and get involved. Have a nosey at my Recipes tab for things to bake yourself, explore the guides, tools and freebies on my tools page, or join me over on YouTube for baking science, recipe experiments and behind-the-scenes adventures. You can also tune into Baking Perfect, a Brown Butter Bakes podcast, where we talk all things baking, running a home bakery and learning from the wonderful people in our industry.

Whether you're here for a box of gorgeous cookies, baking your very first batch or dreaming of starting your own little business, you're very welcome.

Thank you for supporting my little corner of the baking world. Please do come and say hello, share your creations or have a good old natter. I adore hearing from you!

Love ya!
