Business is well and truly blooming for a Norfolk cake maker who has celebrity fans and more than half a million Instagram followers.

Kerry Roberts, 38, taught herself to pipe buttercream cupcakes and in 2017 took the plunge to turn her hobby into a business.

She teaches workshops on how to create stunning buttercream flowers through Kerry's Bouqcakes based at her Cringleford home, on the outskirts of Norwich, and she also does online tutorials.

Mrs Roberts, who is a mum of two, said: "I think the most important thing to note is that after six years in business, I still love flower piping as much as ever.

"If anything my love for it grows year after year. My job is my hobby, my passion and a huge part of my identity and I am so proud of the brand I have created.

"Not much in life is certain but I know for sure my love for being a cupcake artist of buttercream flowers will never die."

She has help from mum Diane, who does the admin, friend and marketing manager Chloe Chambers and her neighbour Alex assists with photography and cupcake orders.
