About us

2016

Lightbulb moment

Cheesecakes were being made for friends & family events by Joe. At the end of 2016 Pleesecakes was an idea on a pad, turning into an Instagram page by January 2017.

With the kind support of Joe Wicks and a shout out, Pleesecakes birth was fairly monumental and we were thrust into the lime light of social media.

The release of the book

Our recipe book was finally released & to do so, we appeared, for the second time, on ITV This Morning with Phil & Holly who made their very own Pleesecake live on TV.

Dragons Den

Filming in the den in June of the second year was mind blowing & was the scariest experience to date.

With nerves running wild, our time to be exposed to the nation on Dragons Den was upon us. With an offer from Touker the interest was there, but Joe kindly declined believing we could take things on ourselves.
