EASKEY FESTIVAL: TALENT SHOW:

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Devril Elliott. I am a mum to Jack and Holly, who are my be all and end all. I am a passionate homebaker with a very creative mind for all things cake. My hobby and obsession for baking intensifie­d over lockdown as a way of keeping my mind active and stress free. I would 100% recommend baking as therapy and it’s my go to whenever I need to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As a result my lockdown hobby became a business known as Debba Bakes and I am coming up on my second birthday in July. I am extremely proud of myself and so grateful to all of my lovely customers. The name Debba Bakes is inspired from my niece who could never pronounce Devril as a child. I have never had any formal training so I would say I am organic and if at first you don’t succeed try again. That is why I would like to pass on some of the knowledge I have learned over the years by giving you an insight into my week involving all things cake, recipe of the week and a tip or two.
