Abi Donaldson
Level 3 Diploma in Professional Bakery 2019
Foundation Degree in Bakery and Patisserie Technology 2021
Enterprising Abi used lockdown to put the final touches to the launch of her own online cake business and has gone on to achieve considerable early success.
AbiDBakes began as a portfolio of cakes Abi made for friends and family which she put on social media. There was so much interest that she decided to register as an official business and used the knowledge and confidence gained from her studies to complete the process. She had also gained the necessary hygiene certificates during her courses.
Abi bakes cakes for any occasion, from bespoke celebration to every day cupcakes and postal treats such as brownies, blondies and cookies which are enjoyed UK wide. Her drip and fondant cakes have gone down a storm and she’s also adding artisan breads and desserts to the range – all products she learned to bake at college.
Abi hopes to open her own shop or bakery in her local area of Bolton soon, so her treats can be enjoyed by even more people!
