A woman from Yeovil says it is "amazing" to have been awarded a top industry award for the second year running.

Holly Miller was presented with the National Wedding Cake Designer 2025 award during a ceremony in London.

She said: "We are really chuffed to take home the top prize again, but it was really nerve-wracking."

Ms Miller, who started her business nine years ago, said: "I started baking cakes for my kids' birthdays when they were little, I just fell into it really."

To be considered for the award, Ms Miller had to provide a selection of her favourite designs and answer questions about her business.

"I always try to go bigger and better," she said.

Ms Miller explains why she thinks she won the award.

"I spend a long time making sugar flowers and that showcases quite a strong skill. Not everybody can do that," she added.
