Who am I?

I started baking from an early age, inspired and taught by my late Grandma Nancy Melia. I decided to name the business after my grandma as the skills she taught me in my childhood have proved invaluable in achieving my goals, both in life and in my career.

I have always had a passion for creativity, and this has been demonstrated throughout my education; achieving 2 A’s at A-Level in Art and Textiles. In order to boost my skills within patisserie, I am currently training as a Pastry and Confectionery Chef at Darlington College.
