Rather than give in to despondency when the St Annes cafe she ran with her husband had to close its doors she started to share her recipes online. Now Caroline creates hundreds of bagels and buns a week from her home, and delivers them to cafes and pubs across Staffordshire and Cheshire, such as The Old Mill, in Leek, and Wild and Wild, in Congleton.
