Georgia-Lee Kucyk began baking seriously in 2023 and is now delivering cakes to people across Cardiff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A MUM from Llanedeyrn who discovered a love for baking on maternity leave a little over a year ago is now serving her cup-cake bouquet speciality to people across Cardiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgia-Lee Kucyk, 28, was a customer service representative at travel agents TUI who enjoyed baking cakes in her free time when she went on maternity leave in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, nearly 14 months later, she is baking almost 30 cakes a week for customers across Cardiff after posting her amazing creations on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgia-Lee, who grew up in Swansea, decided to buy herself some baking equipment after the birth of her son, Cooper, in December 2022 but admits at the time she “had no idea” how to use any of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy son was four months old at the time,\u201d she said. \u201cI had a lot of time on my hands and felt as if I could do something productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI bought myself some piping nozzles online but when they arrived I really didn\u2019t have a clue how to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter some experimenting I eventually managed to teach myself how to use all of the equipment. That\u2019s when I realised just how much of a passion I\u2019ve got for baking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgia-Lee is completely self-taught. Soon after she had come to terms with the equipment she bought, she began to bake cakes for her friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
