A stylish new dessert cafe is opening in Blaenau Gwent next week that will offer a variety of sweet treats as seen in large cities but for a fraction of the price.
Ermina Yasir, 20, and Hichem Atallah, 26, have partnered up to bring a luxurious feel to Blaina, Abertillery by launching M&H Desserts. The pair previously worked in the popular Cafe Lazeez restaurant, owned by Mina's mum, Faiza Zaman, and decided to start a business focused on Mina's baking.
During lockdown, Mina started a baking company and became successful by selling cupcakes and large occasion cakes. She said: "My mum already had a business in the town and my dad also had a shop and I wanted to have a bigger space to make cakes, as I already had a small cake business that I ran from my house. I needed something a bit bigger and thought why not open a shop to go with it."
