While people were stuck at home over various lockdowns, with a daily walk often the only time many spent outside, lots of us started baking to pass the time. One Welsh woman, however, has made such a success out of her baking hobby that she's now opening her own bakery.
Rhian Jones, from Cardiff, began baking from her parents' home in the the city during lockdown after being furloughed from her retail job. Wanting to make the most of her time, Rhian started baking, something she says she has always been passionate about.
But what started as a way to pass the time has turned into a huge success for the 24-year-old. Rhian set up bakery firm Elyse Bakes in July 2020 and decided to start an Instagram account for her business. She ended up quitting her retail job after realising that she couldn't work both jobs due to the high demand of orders of cakes and cupcakes.
