Hello there, you are very welcome back to Wedding Tip Wednesday.
On this episode, I speak to one of the most inspirational women I have ever met. Una Leonard, owner of 2210 Patisserie shares her story about how she has become one of the most sought after cake bakers in the country.
Una tells me how she suffered with her mental health in the past and threw herself into baking cakes. She tells me that once she got into the kitchen and started baking, everything went away and she was simply focused on the task of creating beautiful cakes.
Una now has her bakery in Mullingar and you can also find her in Powerscourt Mall in Dublin City. The incredible 2210 Patisserie bakes and delivers cakes all around Ireland!
This girl is just absolutely unbelievable!
I hope you enjoy!

Connor joined me just before Christmas to chat all things wedding entertainment. We spoke lots about booking that all important wedding band!
We spoke about how important it is to keep those guests on the dance floor for the night. How sometimes it takes a while to set up the band and how it can be quite convenient to have the band set up before dinner if the venue allows.
Connor talks about how long his band plays for on the night of the wedding, what sort of music they play and we also have great chats about the 'first dance' song and how couples generally don't like the attention on them. He gives us some tips about how to make the most of that first song but how to get people to join the couple on the dance floor before the dance finishes.
Did you know that Connor did a 'flash dance' on Grafton Street and oh my God it was a huge success!
This is an entertaining one folks.! I hope you enjoy!
