Britain’s smallest bakery has opened – and it is so small, it is narrower than a baguette.<\/p>\n
Sweet Bella’s sells a range of cupcakes, tray bakes and cookies – all from a shop barely bigger than a cupboard.<\/p>\n
Located in Corstorphine in Edinburgh the bakery is just 55cm at its narrowest at the back – about 10cm less than an average baguette.<\/p>\n
It was opened in August this year by owner Sarah Bald, 25 – and is getting impressive shares on TikTok.<\/p>\n
Sarah, an avid home-baker, had always admired the space – which was once a tiny post office. It finally came on the market earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Tiny bakery Sweet Bella’s is so small that at its narrowest point, which is just 55cm, it is less wide than a baguette<\/p>\n

25-year-old Sarah Bald (pictured) is the owner of Sweet Bella’s, which she opened recently in August\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to Sarah, it was difficult to get the bakery set up, and they had to optimise the limited space as well as they could<\/p>\n
She jumped at the chance to set up her dream bakery and began the preparations immediately.<\/p>\n
Enlisting her mother and a local joiner, the three set about to transform the tiny space into a functional and friendly bakery.<\/p>\n
The trio were able to add shelving and a desk to allow Sarah to make the most of the small space.<\/p>\n
After opening, a popular Scottish food blogger made a TikTok video highlighting the shop – and it amassed over 62,000 views.<\/p>\n
Sarah said: ‘I’d been admiring the space for a year or so – my mum and I would always talk about buying it if it were ever available.<\/p>\n
‘When it came about, I couldn’t believe it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It was absolutely perfect for what I wanted to do.<\/p>\n
‘I’d been doing all my baking from home and selling them at markets throughout the year, but this space was absolutely perfect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
THE WEE SHOP: Quite aptly, there is a tiny sign just above the door of the Edinburgh bakery which sweetly says ‘the wee shop’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The tiny space has been optimised so that Sarah can offer a range of sweet treats, including\u00a0cupcakes, tray bakes and cookies<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nestled into a tiny spot, Sweet Bella’s is an impressive and creative use of a very limited amount of space<\/p>\n
‘It was difficult to get the space set up – we met with a joiner and tried to optimise the space as much as possible.<\/p>\n
‘We painted the shelves and put up acrylic sheets, and the joiner put in a desk that lifts up and down, so I can actually leave the shop!’<\/p>\n
‘The community has been so lovely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘People have been visiting the shop and telling me how lovely it is.<\/p>\n
‘Everyone’s been so supportive, it’s been amazing.’<\/p>\n
