FORMER bakery manager Kimberley Wearden has gone into business on her own, swapping the aromas of the oven for the fragrances of cosmetics and soaps.
After ten years at the Craven Bakery in Skipton, Kimberley has opened Scented Creations in Silsden, selling hand-made soaps, bath bombs and wax melts.
As well as attracting a steady flow of local customers to the Elliott Street shop, postal orders have been received as far afield as Scotland and the Isle of Wight.
Kimberley undertook a course in candle-making before launching her first retail venture, and produces the novel wax melts at home using soy bean oils.
Kimberley and her husband, Christopher, live in Silsden. They met in their bakery careers and Christopher is now manager of an Airedale bakery chain.
