Trevor Backhouse and his team have been creating sweet treats for more than 30 years - but now he's hanging up his apron

“Everything is 100 per cent change and while you are young you can do that. I would encourage youngsters to move out of their comfort zone – that is what I did and it was great. “When I bought this place with the extra window for people to watch us work it was a no- brainer to call it the “Theatre of Confections”. With all the food programmes on at the moment, it’s obvious people like to see food being made.”
One of the main changes that Trevor has seen over the years is the types of wedding cakes they produce. Another memorable assignment was playing host to The Hairy Bikers, Si King and Dave Myers, when they popped in to help Trevor and his team during a baking series. “They were smashing, really nice blokes. They helped out making a selection of wedding cakes and they were really, really nice guys,” he says.
