Open for Business: Kelly’s Kitchen

Kelly from Kelly’s Kitchen in Royston has been running weekly live bake alongs on her Facebook page with her two children. So far they have made Banana Bread, The Ultimate Hot Chocolate, Easter Bunny Cakes and Jam Doughnut Muffins (or duffins!).

Bakers have been sending photos of their bakes to get the chance to win a voucher for 6 cupcakes.
