• 1:59
  to

  about

  Shepparton
• 2:10
  in
• 2:10
  general
• 2:11
  that
• 2:11
  I
• 2:11
  don't
• 2:11
  really,
• 2:12
  obviously
• 2:12
  in
• 2:12
  other
• 2:12
  Surrey
• 2:13
  areas.
• 2:14
  Each

  village
• 2:15
  has
• 2:15
  its
• 2:15
  own
• 2:15
  charm,

  Shepperton

  just
• 2:17
  something
• 2:17
  else.

  Definitely.

  Yeah,

  So

  your

  business,

  Nikki.
• 2:26
  Nikki
• 2:27
  Bakes.
• 2:28
  Sixteen
• 2:28
  years
• 2:28
  is
• 2:29
  a
• 2:29
  long
• 2:29
  time
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  build
• 2:31
  anything,
• 2:32
  let
• 2:33
  alone
• 2:33
  a
• 2:33
  business.
• 2:34
  What's
• 2:34
  changed
• 2:35
  most
• 2:35
  about
• 2:35
  your
• 2:36
  business
• 2:36
  in
• 2:36
  particular
• 2:37
  or
• 2:37
  about
• 2:37
  you
• 2:38
  over
• 2:38
  that
• 2:39
  time?
• 2:39
  A
• 2:39
  lot
• 2:39
  of
• 2:40
  things.
• 2:40
  How
• 2:40
  much
• 2:40
  time
• 2:41
  do
• 2:41
  you
• 2:41
  have?
• 2:42
  I
• 2:42
  would
• 2:43
  say
• 2:43
  what's
• 2:44
  changed
• 2:44
  is
• 2:44
  obviously
• 2:45
  having
• 2:45
  this
• 2:45
  bakery
• 2:46
  store
• 2:46
  this
• 2:46
  year,
• 2:47
  which
• 2:47
  opened
• 2:47
  in
• 2:47
  March.
• 2:48
  So
• 2:48
  yeah,
• 2:48
  Nikki
• 2:49
  Bakes
• 2:49
  has
• 2:49
  been
• 2:49
  going
• 2:49
  on
• 2:50
  for
• 2:50
  16
• 2:50
  years,
• 2:51
  but
• 2:51
  it's
• 2:51
  evolved
• 2:51
  a
• 2:52
  lot.
• 2:52
  And
• 2:53
  this
• 2:53
  year,
• 2:54
  most
• 2:54
  importantly,
• 2:55
  it's
• 2:55
  taken
• 2:55
  center
• 2:56
  stage
• 2:56
  in
• 2:56
  my
• 2:56
  life
• 2:57
  because
• 2:57
  before
• 2:58
  that
• 2:58
  I
• 2:58
  had
• 2:58
  a
• 2:58
  corporate
• 2:59
  job
• 2:59
  working
• 2:59
  in
• 3:00
  food
• 3:00
  marketing
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  I
• 3:02
  left
• 3:02
  that
• 3:02
  all
• 3:02
  behind
• 3:03
  and
• 3:03
  that's
• 3:03
  been
• 3:04
  the
• 3:04
  biggest
• 3:04
  change.
• 3:05
  But
• 3:05
  I
• 3:05
  think
• 3:05
  overall,
• 3:06
  really,
• 3:06
  especially
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  past
• 3:07
  five
• 3:08
  years,
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  would
• 3:08
  say
• 3:09
  ever
• 3:09
  since
• 3:09
  the
• 3:10
  pandemic,
• 3:10
  the
• 3:11
  C
• 3:11
  word,
• 3:12
  it
• 3:12
  kind
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  changed
• 3:13
  everything.
• 3:14
  The
• 3:14
  past
• 3:14
  five
• 3:15
  years
• 3:15
  have
• 3:15
  been,
• 3:15
  have
• 3:15
  seen
• 3:16
  the
• 3:16
  biggest
• 3:16
  change
• 3:16
  and
• 3:17
  growth
• 3:17
  with
• 3:17
  the
• 3:18
  publication
• 3:18
  of
• 3:18
  my
• 3:18
  first
• 3:19
  cookbook,
• 3:20
  which
• 3:20
  was
• 3:20
  a
• 3:20
  couple
• 3:21
  of
• 3:21
  years
• 3:21
  ago.
• 3:21
  Actually
• 3:21
  that
• 3:21
  anniversary
• 3:22
  was
• 3:22
  two
• 3:22
  days
• 3:23
  ago.
• 3:23
  Ah,
• 3:23
  what's
• 3:24
  the
• 3:24
  cookbook
• 3:24
  called?
• 3:25
  Nicky
• 3:25
  Bake's
• 3:26
  Kitchen.
• 3:26
  You've
• 3:26
  had
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  very
• 3:27
  busy
• 3:27
  year
• 3:27
  with
• 3:27
  the
• 3:28
  stall
• 3:29
  from
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  summer
• 3:29
  fairs,
• 3:30
  the
• 3:30
  shopping
• 3:30
  pop
• 3:31
  ups,
• 3:31
  and
• 3:31
  now
• 3:32
  gearing
• 3:32
  up
• 3:33
  for
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  Christmas
• 3:33
  fairs.
• 3:34
  What
• 3:35
  do
• 3:35
  these
• 3:35
  local
• 3:36
  events
• 3:36
  mean
• 3:37
  for
• 3:37
  you,
• 3:37
  personally
• 3:38
  and
• 3:38
  professionally?
• 3:39
  I
• 3:39
  would
• 3:39
  say
• 3:40
  personally,
• 3:41
  they
• 3:41
  really
• 3:42
  are
• 3:42
  something
• 3:43
  to
• 3:43
  look
• 3:43
  forward
• 3:44
  to.
• 3:44
  I
• 3:44
  mean,
• 3:45
  right
• 3:45
  now,
• 3:45
  recording
• 3:46
  of
• 3:46
  this
• 3:46
  podcast,
• 3:47
  Christmas
• 3:47
  markets
• 3:47
  are
• 3:48
  just
• 3:48
  around
• 3:48
  the
• 3:48
  corner
• 3:49
  and,
• 3:49
  and
• 3:50
  just
• 3:50
  opening
• 3:51
  up
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  itinerary
• 3:52
  and
• 3:52
  seeing
• 3:52
  what
• 3:52
  I
• 3:52
  have
• 3:53
  and
• 3:53
  where
• 3:53
  I'm
• 3:53
  going
• 3:54
  and
• 3:54
  what
• 3:54
  I'm
• 3:54
  doing,
• 3:55
  it
• 3:55
  fills
• 3:56
  me
• 3:56
  with
• 3:56
  so
• 3:56
  much
• 3:56
  happiness.
• 3:57
  And
• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  think
• 3:58
  when
• 3:58
  you,
• 3:58
  when
• 3:59
  you're
• 3:59
  passionate
• 3:59
  about
• 3:59
  what
• 4:00
  you're
• 4:00
  doing,
• 4:00
  there's
• 4:00
  that
• 4:01
  special
• 4:01
  warm
• 4:01
  feeling
• 4:02
  in
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  pit
• 4:02
  of
• 4:02
  your
• 4:03
  stomach.
• 4:03
  And
• 4:03
  that's
• 4:04
  exactly
• 4:04
  what
• 4:04
  I
• 4:04
  have
• 4:04
  every
• 4:05
  time
• 4:05
  I
• 4:05
  open
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  spreadsheet.
• 4:06
  I
• 4:06
  know
• 4:06
  it
• 4:07
  sounds
• 4:07
  like
• 4:07
  I
• 4:07
  should
• 4:07
  go
• 4:07
  out
• 4:08
  more,
• 4:08
  but
• 4:08
  honestly
• 4:09
  it
• 4:09
  just,
• 4:10
  and
• 4:10
  maybe
• 4:10
  I
• 4:11
  should,
• 4:11
  but
• 4:11
  it
• 4:12
  just
• 4:12
  genuinely
• 4:13
  fills
• 4:13
  me
• 4:14
  with
• 4:14
  so
• 4:14
  much
• 4:15
  happiness
• 4:15
  and
• 4:16
  hope
• 4:16
  as
• 4:17
  well.
• 4:17
  So
• 4:17
  it
• 4:18
  really
• 4:18
  is
• 4:18
  personally
• 4:19
  something
• 4:19
  that
• 4:20
  100%
• 4:21
  my
• 4:21
  whole
• 4:21
  heart
• 4:21
  is
• 4:21
  in
• 4:22
  it
• 4:22
  professionally.
• 4:23
  It's
• 4:23
  a
• 4:23
  fantastic
• 4:24
  opportunity
• 4:24
  to
• 4:25
  be
• 4:25
  able
• 4:25
  to
• 4:25
  speak
• 4:26
  to
• 4:26
  other
• 4:27
  small
• 4:27
  stall
• 4:28
  holders
• 4:29
  and
• 4:29
  connect
• 4:30
  to
• 4:30
  people
• 4:30
  that
• 4:30
  I
• 4:30
  wouldn't
• 4:31
  have
• 4:31
  if
• 4:31
  I
• 4:31
  didn't
• 4:32
  do
• 4:32
  these
• 4:32
  markets.
• 4:33
  So
• 4:33
  it's
• 4:33
  fantastic
• 4:34
  to
• 4:34
  be
• 4:34
  able
• 4:34
  to
• 4:34
  create
• 4:35
  kind
• 4:35
  of
• 4:35
  a
• 4:35
  connection,
• 4:36
  but
• 4:37
  also
• 4:37
  doing
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  market
• 4:38
  because
• 4:38
  obviously
• 4:38
  there
• 4:39
  are
• 4:39
  lots
• 4:39
  of
• 4:39
  events
• 4:40
  out
• 4:40
  there
• 4:40
  where
• 4:40
  you
• 4:40
  can
• 4:41
  go
• 4:41
  and
• 4:41
  connect
• 4:41
  with
• 4:42
  like
• 4:42
  minded
• 4:42
  businesses,
• 4:43
  but
• 4:43
  here
• 4:44
  doing
• 4:44
  these
• 4:45
  little
• 4:46
  Christmas
• 4:47
  fairs
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  markets
• 4:48
  in
• 4:48
  general,
• 4:48
  you
• 4:49
  get
• 4:49
  two
• 4:49
  in
• 4:49
  one.
• 4:50
  Not
• 4:50
  only
• 4:50
  do
• 4:50
  you
• 4:50
  have
• 4:50
  a
• 4:51
  chance
• 4:51
  to
• 4:51
  showcase
• 4:51
  your
• 4:52
  product,
• 4:52
  but
• 4:52
  it's
• 4:53
  an
• 4:53
  opportunity
• 4:53
  to
• 4:53
  connect
• 4:53
  to
• 4:54
  like
• 4:54
  minded
• 4:54
  people,
• 4:55
  you
• 4:55
  know,
• 4:56
  and
• 4:56
  so.
• 4:56
  And
• 4:56
  it
• 4:56
  just
• 4:57
  takes
• 4:57
  you
• 4:57
  to
• 4:57
  such
• 4:57
  great
• 4:58
  places
• 4:58
  that
• 4:58
  you
• 4:58
  wouldn't
• 4:58
  even
• 4:59
  think
• 4:59
  about,
• 5:00
  in
• 5:00
  my
• 5:00
  opinion
• 5:01
  anyway.
• 5:01
  And
• 5:01
  Shepparton
• 5:02
  seems
• 5:02
  to
• 5:02
  have
• 5:02
  a
• 5:03
  growing
• 5:03
  number
• 5:03
  of
• 5:04
  women
• 5:04
  led
• 5:04
  businesses
• 5:05
  in
• 5:05
  particular.
• 5:06
  Oh
• 5:06
  yes.
• 5:06
  How
• 5:07
  have
• 5:07
  you
• 5:07
  seen
• 5:08
  women
• 5:08
  supporting
• 5:09
  each
• 5:09
  other
• 5:09
  locally?
• 5:10
  And
• 5:10
  what
• 5:10
  difference
• 5:11
  does
• 5:11
  that
• 5:11
  make?
• 5:11
  A
• 5:11
  huge
• 5:12
  difference.
• 5:12
  Because
• 5:13
  of
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  relatability
• 5:14
  first
• 5:14
  and
• 5:14
  foremost,
• 5:15
  but
• 5:16
  I
• 5:16
  think
• 5:16
  it's
• 5:16
  just
• 5:17
  something
• 5:17
  especially
• 5:17
  in
• 5:18
  Shepperton.
• 5:18
  I
• 5:18
  mean,
• 5:19
  I
• 5:19
  have
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  definitely
• 5:20
  give
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  shout
• 5:20
  out
• 5:20
  to
• 5:21
  Catherine
• 5:21
  Hayes,
• 5:22
  the
• 5:22
  owner
• 5:22
  of
• 5:23
  Totally
• 5:23
  Tangerine
• 5:24
  Cookery.
• 5:25
  She
• 5:25
  is
• 5:26
  a
• 5:26
  force
• 5:26
  to
• 5:26
  be
• 5:27
  reckoned
• 5:27
  with.
• 5:28
  And
• 5:28
  when
• 5:29
  I
• 5:29
  first
• 5:29
  started
• 5:29
  the
• 5:30
  store
• 5:30
  back
• 5:30
  in
• 5:30
  March
• 5:31
  this
• 5:31
  year,
• 5:32
  we
• 5:32
  already
• 5:32
  had
• 5:33
  a
• 5:33
  working
• 5:33
  relationship
• 5:33
  with
• 5:34
  each
• 5:34
  other.
• 5:34
  But
• 5:35
  Kat
• 5:35
  most
• 5:36
  certainly
• 5:36
  helped
• 5:37
  me
• 5:37
  kind
• 5:37
  of
• 5:38
  integrate
• 5:38
  into
• 5:39
  where
• 5:39
  she
• 5:39
  is
• 5:39
  based
• 5:40
  in
• 5:40
  the
• 5:41
  courtyard.
• 5:41
  And
• 5:42
  from
• 5:43
  her
• 5:43
  connection,
• 5:44
  she
• 5:44
  was
• 5:45
  so
• 5:45
  lovely
• 5:45
  and
• 5:45
  kind
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  introduced
• 5:47
  me
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  other
• 5:47
  small
• 5:47
  business
• 5:48
  owners.
• 5:48
  And
• 5:48
  yes,
• 5:49
  it
• 5:49
  just
• 5:49
  so
• 5:49
  happened
• 5:49
  that
• 5:50
  they
• 5:50
  were
• 5:50
  also
• 5:51
  women
• 5:51
  owned
• 5:51
  businesses.
• 5:52
  And
• 5:52
  it
• 5:52
  was
• 5:53
  like
• 5:53
  a
• 5:53
  snowball,
• 5:53
  just
• 5:54
  snowballed
• 5:54
  from
• 5:54
  there.
• 5:55
  And
• 5:55
  I'm
• 5:56
  so,
• 5:56
  so
• 5:56
  grateful
• 5:57
  because,
• 5:57
  to
• 5:58
  be
• 5:58
  honest,
• 5:58
  I
• 5:58
  like
• 5:58
  to
• 5:59
  raise
• 5:59
  people
• 6:00
  up
• 6:00
  where
• 6:00
  I
• 6:00
  possibly
• 6:01
  can.
• 6:01
  But
• 6:01
  seeing
• 6:01
  other
• 6:01
  women
• 6:02
  succeed
• 6:02
  is
• 6:03
  especially
• 6:04
  important
• 6:04
  for
• 6:04
  me
• 6:05
  because
• 6:05
  I
• 6:05
  still
• 6:06
  believe
• 6:06
  that
• 6:06
  there's
• 6:07
  so
• 6:07
  much
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  be
• 6:07
  done
• 6:07
  with
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  gender
• 6:08
  pay
• 6:09
  gap
• 6:09
  and
• 6:09
  opportunities.
• 6:11
  So
• 6:11
  just
• 6:11
  to
• 6:11
  see
• 6:12
  those
• 6:12
  small
• 6:12
  little
• 6:13
  wins,
• 6:13
  it
• 6:13
  means
• 6:13
  everything
• 6:14
  to
• 6:14
  me.
• 6:14
  You've
• 6:15
  spoken
• 6:15
  before
• 6:16
  about
• 6:17
  baking
• 6:17
  being
• 6:18
  a
• 6:18
  kind
• 6:18
  of
• 6:18
  therapy.
• 6:19
  What
• 6:19
  happens
• 6:20
  for
• 6:20
  you
• 6:20
  when
• 6:21
  you're
• 6:21
  in
• 6:21
  that
• 6:21
  kind
• 6:22
  of
• 6:22
  rhythm
• 6:22
  of
• 6:22
  mixing,
• 6:23
  decorating,
• 6:24
  creating?
• 6:25
  What
• 6:25
  happens?
• 6:25
  It's
• 6:25
  just.
• 6:26
  Well,
• 6:27
  I
• 6:27
  don't
• 6:27
  want
• 6:27
  to
• 6:27
  sound
• 6:27
  like
• 6:27
  Willy
• 6:28
  Wonka
• 6:28
  or
• 6:28
  anything,
• 6:29
  but
• 6:31
  you
• 6:31
  really
• 6:31
  do
• 6:31
  feel
• 6:32
  like
• 6:33
  there
• 6:33
  is
• 6:33
  potential.
• 6:34
  And
• 6:35
  it's
• 6:35
  also
• 6:36
  exciting,
• 6:36
  but
• 6:36
  also
• 6:37
  a
• 6:37
  little
• 6:37
  bit
• 6:37
  scary
• 6:37
  because
• 6:37
  you
• 6:38
  don't
• 6:38
  actually
• 6:38
  know
• 6:38
  what's
• 6:38
  going
• 6:38
  to
• 6:39
  happen
• 6:39
  when
• 6:39
  it
• 6:39
  comes
• 6:39
  out
• 6:39
  of
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  oven.
• 6:40
  It
• 6:40
  could
• 6:40
  be
• 6:40
  a
• 6:41
  complete
• 6:41
  delicious
• 6:42
  disaster,
• 6:42
  shall
• 6:42
  we
• 6:43
  say.
• 6:44
  But
• 6:44
  it's,
• 6:44
  it's
• 6:45
  the,
• 6:45
  it's,
• 6:45
  yeah,
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  bit
• 6:46
  of
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  fear
• 6:46
  of
• 6:46
  the
• 6:46
  unknown,
• 6:47
  especially
• 6:47
  if
• 6:47
  you're
• 6:47
  trying
• 6:48
  a
• 6:48
  recipe.
• 6:48
  But
• 6:48
  it's
• 6:48
  just
• 6:49
  excitement,
• 6:49
  it's
• 6:50
  electricity,
• 6:51
  it's,
• 6:51
  you
• 6:51
  know,
• 6:52
  being
• 6:52
  present
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  not
• 6:53
  having
• 6:53
  to
• 6:53
  think
• 6:53
  about
• 6:53
  anything
• 6:54
  else
• 6:54
  because
• 6:55
  you
• 6:55
  really
• 6:55
  have
• 6:56
  to
• 6:56
  be
• 6:56
  present
• 6:56
  with
• 6:57
  what
• 6:57
  you're
• 6:57
  doing.
• 6:58
  And
• 6:58
  as
• 6:58
  you
• 6:58
  know,
• 6:59
  baking
• 6:59
  is
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  chemistry
• 7:00
  you
• 7:00
  can't
• 7:00
  just
• 7:01
  like,
• 7:01
  not
• 7:02
  with,
• 7:02
  as,
• 7:02
  as
• 7:02
  with
• 7:03
  savory
• 7:03
  foods.
• 7:03
  You
• 7:03
  really
• 7:04
  have
• 7:04
  to
• 7:04
  be
• 7:04
  very,
• 7:05
  you
• 7:05
  know,
• 7:05
  laser
• 7:05
  sharp
• 7:06
  with
• 7:06
  all
• 7:06
  of
• 7:06
  your
• 7:06
  ways
• 7:07
  and
• 7:07
  measurements
• 7:08
  because
• 7:08
  obviously
• 7:08
  the
• 7:09
  butter
• 7:09
  won't
• 7:09
  go
• 7:10
  right
• 7:10
  if
• 7:10
  you're
• 7:10
  not
• 7:10
  measuring
• 7:11
  correctly.
• 7:11
  So
• 7:11
  it
• 7:12
  forces
• 7:12
  you
• 7:12
  to
• 7:12
  be
• 7:13
  in
• 7:13
  the
• 7:13
  moment
• 7:13
  and
• 7:14
  tune
• 7:14
  everything
• 7:14
  out,
• 7:15
  which
• 7:15
  is
• 7:15
  what
• 7:16
  I
• 7:16
  love.
• 7:16
  It's
• 7:16
  funny,
• 7:16
  you
• 7:17
  just
• 7:17
  reminded
• 7:17
  me
• 7:17
  there
• 7:18
  of,
• 7:18
  you
• 7:18
  know,
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  happy
• 7:19
  accidents.
• 7:19
  My
• 7:19
  dear
• 7:19
  old
• 7:20
  mum
• 7:20
  used
• 7:20
  to,
• 7:21
  I
• 7:21
  mean,
• 7:21
  she,
• 7:21
  she
• 7:21
  was
• 7:22
  a
• 7:22
  good
• 7:22
  baker,
• 7:23
  not
• 7:23
  prolific,
• 7:23
  but
• 7:23
  she'd
• 7:24
  make
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  odd
• 7:24
  cake
• 7:25
  and
• 7:26
  invariably
• 7:26
  something
• 7:27
  would
• 7:27
  go
• 7:28
  completely
• 7:28
  wrong
• 7:29
  with
• 7:29
  it.
• 7:29
  But
• 7:29
  it
• 7:30
  would
• 7:30
  taste
• 7:31
  amazing.
• 7:33
  It
• 7:33
  just
• 7:33
  wouldn't
• 7:34
  look
• 7:34
  amazing.
• 7:35
  So
• 7:36
  those,

  those
• 7:37
  happy

  accidents.
• 7:38
  No,
• 7:38
  I,
• 7:38
  it's
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  right
• 7:39
  Way
• 7:39
  around.
• 7:39
  Right.
• 7:40
  You
• 7:40
  know,
• 7:41
  to
• 7:41
  be
• 7:41
  honest
• 7:41
  with
• 7:41
  you.
• 7:42
  Beige
• 7:42
  food
• 7:42
  is
• 7:42
  the
• 7:43
  best
• 7:43
  food.
• 7:43
  I'm
• 7:43
  just
• 7:43
  putting
• 7:43
  it
• 7:44
  out
• 7:44
  there
• 7:44
  and
• 7:44
  no
• 7:44
  one
• 7:45
  can.
• 7:45
  I'll
• 7:46
  die
• 7:46
  on
• 7:46
  that
• 7:46
  hill
• 7:46
  if
• 7:47
  I
• 7:47
  have
• 7:47
  to.
• 7:47
  Beige

  the
• 7:48
  best
• 7:48
  food
• 7:49
  and
• 7:49
  you.
• 7:49
  And
• 7:49
  that's
• 7:50
  actually
• 7:50
  very
• 7:50
  true.
• 7:51
  Sometimes
• 7:51
  food,
• 7:52
  it
• 7:52
  might
• 7:52
  not
• 7:53
  look
• 7:53
  great,
• 7:53
  but
• 7:53
  it
• 7:54
  tastes
• 7:54
  amazing.
• 7:55
  And
• 7:55

  This
• 8:11
  year,
• 8:11
  I
• 8:11
  mean,
• 8:11
  it's
• 8:12
  been.
• 8:12
  Been
• 8:12
  a
• 8:12
  big
• 8:12
  year
• 8:12
  for
• 8:13
  all
• 8:13
  sorts
• 8:13
  of
• 8:13
  reasons
• 8:13
  for
• 8:14
  you,
• 8:14
  hasn't
• 8:14
  it?
• 8:14
  It's
• 8:15
  been
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  big
• 8:15
  one
• 8:15
  for
• 8:15
  you
• 8:15
  personally
• 8:16
  as
• 8:16
  well.
• 8:17
  How
• 8:17
  has
• 8:17
  baking
• 8:18
  helped
• 8:18
  you
• 8:18
  through
• 8:18
  those
• 8:20
  tougher
• 8:20
  moments,
• 8:20
  shall
• 8:21
  we
• 8:21
  say?
• 8:21
  Yeah,
• 8:21
  I
• 8:22
  think
• 8:22
  it's.
• 8:22
  In
• 8:22
  many
• 8:22
  ways
• 8:23
  it
• 8:23
  was
• 8:23
  a,
• 8:24
  it
• 8:24
  was
• 8:24
  a
• 8:24
  lifeline
• 8:25
  for
• 8:25
  me
• 8:25
  because,
• 8:26
  yeah,
• 8:27
  I'm
• 8:27
  very
• 8:27
  open
• 8:27
  and
• 8:28
  happy
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  speak
• 8:29
  about
• 8:30
  it
• 8:30
  now.
• 8:30
  But,
• 8:31
  yeah,
• 8:31
  earlier
• 8:31
  in
• 8:32
  this
• 8:32
  year
• 8:33
  my
• 8:33
  marriage
• 8:33
  ended
• 8:34
  and
• 8:36
  I
• 8:36
  was
• 8:36
  really
• 8:36
  very
• 8:37
  much
• 8:37
  at
• 8:37
  a
• 8:37
  crossroads
• 8:38
  because
• 8:38
  I
• 8:38
  was
• 8:38
  still
• 8:38
  working
• 8:38
  in
• 8:39
  the
• 8:39
  food
• 8:39
  marketing
• 8:40
  agency
• 8:40
  actually
• 8:40
  in
• 8:41
  January,
• 8:41
  and
• 8:42
  I
• 8:42
  was
• 8:42
  thinking
• 8:42
  to
• 8:42
  myself,
• 8:43
  yeah,
• 8:43
  so
• 8:43
  it
• 8:44
  really
• 8:44
  hasn't
• 8:44
  been
• 8:44
  that
• 8:45
  long.
• 8:45
  And,
• 8:46
  but
• 8:46
  I
• 8:46
  said,
• 8:46
  I
• 8:47
  said
• 8:47
  to
• 8:47
  myself,
• 8:47
  nikki
• 8:48
  Bakes
• 8:48
  in
• 8:48
  some
• 8:49
  ways
• 8:49
  has
• 8:49
  kind
• 8:50
  of
• 8:50
  been
• 8:50
  in
• 8:50
  the
• 8:50
  background
• 8:51
  or
• 8:51
  on
• 8:51
  the
• 8:51
  side
• 8:51
  as
• 8:52
  I
• 8:52
  was
• 8:53
  doing
• 8:53
  my
• 8:53
  full
• 8:53
  time
• 8:54
  jobs,
• 8:54
  corporate
• 8:54
  jobs,
• 8:55
  these
• 8:55
  past,
• 8:56
  past
• 8:56
  years.
• 8:57
  And
• 8:57
  I
• 8:57
  said,
• 8:58
  well,
• 8:59
  I
• 8:59
  need
• 8:59
  to
• 8:59
  take
• 9:00
  a
• 9:00
  chance
• 9:00
  on
• 9:00
  this
• 9:01
  and
• 9:01
  just
• 9:01
  see
• 9:02
  how
• 9:02
  it
• 9:02
  goes.
• 9:03
  And
• 9:03
  when
• 9:04
  it
• 9:04
  started
• 9:04
  in
• 9:04
  March,
• 9:05
  it
• 9:06
  helped
• 9:06
  me
• 9:06
  cope
• 9:07
  so
• 9:07
  much
• 9:07
  because
• 9:08
  every
• 9:08
  week
• 9:08
  I
• 9:09
  was
• 9:09
  faced
• 9:09
  with
• 9:09
  new
• 9:10
  challenges
• 9:11
  and
• 9:11
  rewarding
• 9:12
  challenges
• 9:12
  and
• 9:12
  thinking
• 9:13
  about
• 9:13
  things
• 9:13
  like,
• 9:13
  okay,
• 9:14
  I
• 9:14
  have
• 9:14
  to
• 9:14
  order
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  gazebo,
• 9:15
  I
• 9:15
  have
• 9:16
  to
• 9:16
  order
• 9:16
  all
• 9:16
  the
• 9:16
  supplies
• 9:17
  and
• 9:17
  then
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  have
• 9:17
  to
• 9:18
  order
• 9:18
  the
• 9:18
  ingredients.
• 9:18
  And
• 9:19
  so
• 9:19
  in
• 9:20
  many
• 9:20
  ways
• 9:21
  it
• 9:21
  helped
• 9:21
  me
• 9:22
  get
• 9:22
  up
• 9:22
  in
• 9:23
  the
• 9:23
  morning,
• 9:23
  have
• 9:23
  a
• 9:24
  reason
• 9:24
  to
• 9:24
  wake
• 9:24
  up
• 9:25
  in
• 9:25
  the
• 9:25
  morning.
• 9:26
  And
• 9:26
  the
• 9:27
  first
• 9:27
  couple
• 9:27
  of
• 9:27
  weeks
• 9:28
  were,
• 9:28
  they
• 9:29
  were
• 9:29
  okay.
• 9:29
  Obviously
• 9:30
  when
• 9:30
  I
• 9:30
  pitched
• 9:31
  in
• 9:31
  Walton
• 9:32
  in
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  farmer's
• 9:33
  market,
• 9:33
  obviously
• 9:33
  people
• 9:34
  didn't
• 9:34
  know
• 9:34
  about
• 9:34
  me
• 9:35
  and
• 9:35
  obviously
• 9:35
  it's
• 9:36
  going
• 9:36
  to
• 9:36
  take
• 9:36
  some
• 9:36
  time
• 9:36
  for
• 9:37
  me
• 9:37
  to
• 9:37
  become
• 9:37
  established
• 9:38
  as
• 9:38
  I
• 9:38
  have
• 9:38
  been
• 9:38
  now,
• 9:39
  sitting
• 9:39
  here
• 9:40
  in
• 9:40
  October
• 9:40
  2025.
• 9:42
  But
• 9:42
  the
• 9:42
  thing
• 9:42
  is,
• 9:42
  then
• 9:43
  I
• 9:43
  had
• 9:43
  a
• 9:43
  couple
• 9:43
  of
• 9:43
  customers
• 9:44
  that
• 9:44
  would
• 9:44
  come
• 9:44
  and
• 9:44
  they
• 9:44
  say,
• 9:45
  are
• 9:45
  you
• 9:45
  here
• 9:45
  next
• 9:45
  week?
• 9:46
  Oh,
• 9:46
  please
• 9:47
  come
• 9:47
  next
• 9:47
  week.
• 9:48
  And
• 9:48
  it's
• 9:48
  like,
• 9:48
  okay,
• 9:49
  so
• 9:50
  I
• 9:50
  was
• 9:51
  going
• 9:51
  through
• 9:51
  a
• 9:51
  really,
• 9:52
  really
• 9:52
  horrible
• 9:53
  time
• 9:53
  earlier
• 9:53
  this
• 9:54
  year
• 9:54
  and
• 9:55
  the
• 9:55
  grief
• 9:55
  and
• 9:55
  the
• 9:55
  pain
• 9:56
  and
• 9:56
  the
• 9:57
  sorrow,
• 9:58
  but
• 9:58
  just
• 9:58
  knowing
• 9:58
  that
• 9:59
  somebody
• 9:59
  wanted
• 9:59
  me
• 10:00
  to
• 10:00
  come
• 10:00
  back
• 10:00
  next
• 10:01
  week,
• 10:01
  somebody
• 10:01
  wanted
• 10:02
  me
• 10:02
  to
• 10:03
  bake
• 10:03
  a
• 10:03
  cake
• 10:04
  for
• 10:04
  their
• 10:04
  son
• 10:04
  or,
• 10:05
  you
• 10:05
  know,
• 10:05
  I
• 10:05
  really
• 10:06
  liked
• 10:06
  your
• 10:06
  brownies.
• 10:06
  Can
• 10:07
  you
• 10:07
  please
• 10:07
  come
• 10:07
  back?
• 10:08
  I
• 10:08
  said,
• 10:09
  okay,
• 10:10
  I'll
• 10:10
  come
• 10:10
  back.
• 10:11
  That's
• 10:12
  wonderful.
• 10:12
  And
• 10:12
  of
• 10:13
  course,
• 10:13
  food
• 10:13
  often
• 10:14
  has
• 10:14
  a
• 10:14
  way
• 10:14
  of
• 10:14
  connecting
• 10:15
  people
• 10:15
  like
• 10:16
  you've
• 10:16
  just
• 10:16
  described.
• 10:17
  Can
• 10:17
  you
• 10:17
  think
• 10:17
  of
• 10:17
  any
• 10:17
  moments
• 10:18
  recently
• 10:18
  where
• 10:19
  you've
• 10:19
  seen
• 10:19
  that
• 10:19
  happen
• 10:20
  where
• 10:20
  something
• 10:20
  you
• 10:21
  baked
• 10:21
  actually
• 10:22
  brought
• 10:22
  people
• 10:22
  together?
• 10:22
  Oh,
• 10:23
  yes,
• 10:23
  I
• 10:23
  can
• 10:24
  just,
• 10:24
  I
• 10:24
  mean,
• 10:25
  it
• 10:25
  literally
• 10:26
  just
• 10:26
  came
• 10:26
  into
• 10:26
  my
• 10:26
  mind
• 10:27
  right
• 10:27
  now.
• 10:27
  So
• 10:28
  I
• 10:28
  just
• 10:28
  did
• 10:29
  the
• 10:29
  Chertsey
• 10:29
  Market
• 10:30
  and
• 10:30
  it
• 10:30
  was
• 10:30
  a
• 10:30
  Halloween
• 10:31
  special
• 10:32
  and
• 10:32
  we
• 10:32
  had
• 10:33
  a
• 10:33
  lovely
• 10:34
  family
• 10:34
  come
• 10:34
  to
• 10:35
  me.
• 10:35
  So
• 10:35
  it
• 10:35
  was
• 10:35
  a
• 10:36
  mother
• 10:36
  and
• 10:36
  a
• 10:36
  daughter
• 10:36
  with
• 10:37
  her
• 10:37
  granddaughter
• 10:38
  and,
• 10:38
  and
• 10:39
  she
• 10:39
  was,
• 10:40
  I
• 10:40
  believe
• 10:40
  she
• 10:40
  was
• 10:41
  of
• 10:41
  Spanish
• 10:41
  descent.
• 10:41
  And
• 10:41
  she
• 10:42
  came
• 10:42
  up
• 10:42
  to
• 10:42
  me
• 10:42
  and
• 10:42
  she
• 10:43
  tried
• 10:43
  one
• 10:43
  of
• 10:44
  my
• 10:44
  cakes
• 10:45
  and
• 10:45
  obviously
• 10:45
  she
• 10:46
  bought
• 10:46
  the
• 10:46
  cake
• 10:46
  if
• 10:46
  you
• 10:46
  wanted
• 10:47
  to
• 10:47
  eat
• 10:47
  it
• 10:47
  right
• 10:47
  then
• 10:47
  and
• 10:47
  there
• 10:48
  because
• 10:48
  they
• 10:48
  were
• 10:48
  quite
• 10:48
  peckish
• 10:49
  at
• 10:49
  the
• 10:49
  time.
• 10:50
  And
• 10:50
  they
• 10:50
  took
• 10:50
  a
• 10:51
  bite
• 10:51
  and
• 10:51
  then
• 10:52
  to
• 10:52
  the
• 10:52
  grandmother,
• 10:53
  she,
• 10:53
  she
• 10:53
  had
• 10:53
  tears
• 10:54
  in
• 10:54
  her
• 10:54
  eyes
• 10:54
  and
• 10:54
  I
• 10:55
  thought,
• 10:55
  oh
• 10:55
  my
• 10:55
  God,
• 10:56
  what,
• 10:56
  what
• 10:56
  have
• 10:57
  I
• 10:57
  done?
• 10:57
  Has
• 10:57
  something
• 10:58
  happened?
• 10:58
  Was
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  cake.
• 10:59
  And
• 10:59
  I
• 10:59
  said,
• 10:59
  is
• 11:00
  everything
• 11:00
  okay?
• 11:01
  And
• 11:01
  then
• 11:01
  she
• 11:02
  came
• 11:02
  round
• 11:02
  the
• 11:03
  side
• 11:03
  of
• 11:03
  the
• 11:03
  stall
• 11:03
  to
• 11:03
  the
• 11:04
  back
• 11:04
  of
• 11:04
  the
• 11:04
  store
• 11:04
  and
• 11:04
  gave
• 11:04
  me
• 11:04
  a
• 11:05
  hug.
• 11:05
  And
• 11:05
  I
• 11:06
  thought,
• 11:06
  what's
• 11:06
  happening
• 11:07
  here?
• 11:07
  Why
• 11:07
  is
• 11:08
  she
• 11:08
  crying?
• 11:08
  And
• 11:08
  she
• 11:08
  said,
• 11:09
  your
• 11:09
  recipe,
• 11:10
  your
• 11:11
  Madeira
• 11:11
  cake
• 11:12
  reminded
• 11:12
  me
• 11:12
  of
• 11:12
  my
• 11:13
  mother
• 11:13
  and
• 11:13
  what
• 11:13
  she
• 11:14
  baked.
• 11:14
  And
• 11:14
  I
• 11:15
  just
• 11:15
  thought,
• 11:15
  okay,
• 11:17
  well,
• 11:17
  first
• 11:17
  of
• 11:17
  all.
• 11:17
  So
• 11:18
  I
• 11:18
  released
• 11:18
  because
• 11:18
  I
• 11:19
  thought,
• 11:19
  oh
• 11:19
  my
• 11:19
  God,
• 11:19
  am
• 11:20
  I
• 11:20
  killing
• 11:20
  her?
• 11:20
  Is
• 11:20
  she
• 11:21
  having
• 11:21
  an
• 11:21
  allergic
• 11:21
  reaction?
• 11:22
  Anaphylactic
• 11:23
  shock?
• 11:23
  I
• 11:23
  don't
• 11:23
  know.
• 11:24
  And
• 11:24
  then
• 11:24
  I
• 11:24
  just,
• 11:25
  I
• 11:25
  melted.
• 11:26
  I
• 11:26
  melted.
• 11:26
  And
• 11:26
  I
• 11:27
  was
• 11:27
  like,
• 11:27
  that
• 11:27
  just,
• 11:27
  that
• 11:28
  means
• 11:28
  everything
• 11:28
  to
• 11:28
  me.
• 11:28
  And
• 11:29
  she
• 11:29
  made
• 11:29
  me
• 11:29
  emotional
• 11:30
  as
• 11:30
  well.
• 11:31
  It
• 11:31
  was
• 11:31
  a
• 11:31
  moment
• 11:31
  I
• 11:31
  won't
• 11:32
  forget.
• 11:32
  That's
• 11:32
  amazing.
• 11:33
  That's
• 11:33
  amazing.
• 11:34
  So
• 11:34
  what's
• 11:35
  next?
• 11:35
  Let's
• 11:35
  see.
• 11:36
  You
• 11:36
  know,
• 11:36
  you
• 11:36
  have
• 11:36
  the
• 11:36
  lead
• 11:36
  up
• 11:37
  to
• 11:37
  the
• 11:37
  Christmas
• 11:37
  fairs
• 11:38
  and
• 11:38
  markets
• 11:38
  and
• 11:39
  things
• 11:39
  with
• 11:40
  those.
• 11:40
  What
• 11:40
  can
• 11:40
  people
• 11:40
  expect
• 11:41
  from
• 11:41
  you?
• 11:41
  And
• 11:42
  what's
• 11:42
  next?
• 11:42
  What,
• 11:43
  what
• 11:43
  does
• 11:43
  2026
• 11:44
  look
• 11:45
  like
• 11:45
  for
• 11:45
  Nick
• 11:45
  Bakes?
• 11:46
  Very,
• 11:46
  very
• 11:47
  good
• 11:47
  question.
• 11:47
  Well,
• 11:48
  I
• 11:48
  mean,
• 11:48
  first
• 11:48
  and
• 11:49
  foremost,
• 11:49
  when
• 11:49
  it
• 11:49
  comes
• 11:49
  to
• 11:50
  the
• 11:50
  Christmas
• 11:50
  markets,
• 11:51
  you're
• 11:52
  going
• 11:52
  to
• 11:52
  be
• 11:52
  really
• 11:53
  in
• 11:53
  for
• 11:53
  a
• 11:53
  treat.
• 11:54
  Especially,
• 11:55
  you
• 11:55
  know,
• 11:55
  gluten
• 11:56
  free
• 11:56
  folk
• 11:56
  who
• 11:57
  can't
• 11:57
  have
• 11:57
  the
• 11:57
  regular
• 11:58
  filled
• 11:59
  things
• 11:59
  like
• 11:59
  for
• 11:59
  example,
• 12:00
  croissants.
• 12:01
  Croissants
• 12:02
  are
• 12:02
  notoriously
• 12:03
  difficult
• 12:03
  to
• 12:03
  make
• 12:04
  gluten
• 12:04
  free,
• 12:04
  especially
• 12:05
  almond
• 12:05
  croissants.
• 12:06
  So
• 12:06
  I've
• 12:07
  taken
• 12:07
  elements
• 12:07
  of
• 12:08
  gluten
• 12:08
  filled
• 12:09
  treats
• 12:09
  and
• 12:09
  put
• 12:10
  my
• 12:10
  own
• 12:10
  adaptation
• 12:11
  and
• 12:11
  own
• 12:11
  spin
• 12:11
  on
• 12:12
  it,
• 12:12
  but
• 12:12
  making
• 12:13
  it
• 12:13
  Christmas
• 12:13
  themed
• 12:13
  as
• 12:14
  well.
• 12:14
  So
• 12:15
  something
• 12:15
  like
• 12:15
  an
• 12:15
  almond
• 12:16
  croissant
• 12:16
  cookie
• 12:17
  with
• 12:18
  cranberries,
• 12:18
  I'm
• 12:19
  going
• 12:19
  to
• 12:19
  be
• 12:19
  doing
• 12:19
  that,
• 12:20
  but
• 12:20
  it's
• 12:21
  not
• 12:21
  a
• 12:21
  croissant.
• 12:22
  So
• 12:22
  inside
• 12:22
  is
• 12:22
  that
• 12:23
  almond
• 12:23
  frangipan
• 12:24
  is
• 12:24
  going
• 12:25
  to
• 12:25
  be
• 12:25
  laced
• 12:25
  into
• 12:25
  the
• 12:26
  cookie,
• 12:26
  which
• 12:26
  is
• 12:26
  gluten
• 12:27
  free.
• 12:27
  So
• 12:28
  when
• 12:28
  you
• 12:28
  take
• 12:28
  a
• 12:28
  bite,
• 12:29
  my
• 12:29
  hope
• 12:29
  is
• 12:29
  that
• 12:30
  you
• 12:30
  get
• 12:30
  the
• 12:30
  taste
• 12:31
  of
• 12:31
  Christmas.
• 12:31
  But
• 12:32
  also
• 12:32
  that
• 12:32
  almond
• 12:33
  croissant
• 12:33
  that
• 12:34
  gluten
• 12:34
  free
• 12:34
  people
• 12:34
  cannot
• 12:35
  have,
• 12:35
  they
• 12:36
  can
• 12:36
  have.
• 12:36
  It
• 12:36
  in
• 12:36
  the
• 12:36
  cookie,
• 12:38
  that
• 12:38
  taste
• 12:39
  explosion.
• 12:41
  Yeah.
• 12:41

• 12:42
