Jody, who moved the business from its original Hawarden location a year ago, was ultimately too busy with orders to attend the Welsh National Wedding Awards in person.

She said: "I saw the email and thought 'Oh my god!'. I just do what I do, it's all I've known since 2012. It's nice to be recognised.

"I'm totally laid back with it all now, and it's a real honour to be part of someone's special day.

"It's a big thing to do but I get to know the couples, and love delivering wedding cakes.

"I'd like to thank everyone who took time to vote and everyone who continues to support my dream."

Jody, who can work on between four to 10 wedding or occasion cakes a week, also sells sweet treats over the counter from the Deeside Leisure Centre every Saturday.
