Here is Chloe’s story in her own words

I started making cupcakes in lockdown, as I’m not working and was getting bored. I would drop them round to my friends and family to keep them going in lockdown. 

I really enjoy making them. I thought I would give it a go by buying some more things, so I could make bigger batches and give them to people. I put a post on my social media and had so many responses. 

I’ve managed to sell lots of different designs for birthdays and treats during lockdown. 

My mum’s friend is a nurse at the City Hospital. She works very hard on the ICU for cancer patients. I said I would bring some cakes down for her and the team as a thank you for all their hard work. 

I am hoping to do this more often, as I sometimes have cakes to spare after making them for my customers, so will give them to keyworkers and people who have worked constantly during this hard time. 

I enjoy making the cakes and seeing people happy when I deliver them, as they are cheered up and it feels like I’ve made their day.
