Mum-of-two Emma Fuller knew she had to start at the beginning if she wanted to make her business a sweet success
Flicking through my diary, no two days are the same. one day, I’m doing a sugar craft workshop at Fortnum & mason department store in London, and the next, I’m demonstrating how to use icing gadgets on a shopping channel. You might think I’ve been doing this for years, but my success hasn’t been easy…
During my teens, I worked as a waitress at a smart hotel. Surrounded by the buzz of the kitchen, I thought the catering and hospitality world seemed so glamorous. And after graduating from university, I became a hotel and restaurant inspector.
It was great fun visiting cosy B&Bs and five-star retreats across the country. But when my husband Simon and I had our daughters, Livy, in November 2002, and Molly, two years later, I realised that being on the road and motherhood didn’t fit.
I took a career break, and after settling into family life, I looked into a hobby for when the girls were tucked in bed. A keen baker, I enrolled in an evening class in sugar craft, learning how to make intricate fondant flowers.
