00:00So, tell me about Lydia's cheesecake business and how it all started.

00:14So before Lydia took an interest in cheesecakes, she really enjoyed helping me out in the kitchen.

00:19She was always watching me watch Masterchef and took a real sort of interest in helping

00:24chop the veg, chop the onions, chop the cucumber.

00:29Lydia being terribly stubborn wanted to get involved with the hob, the oven, and we didn't

00:33really feel it appropriate for her to be sort of doing that on her own.

00:37So that's when it came into dessert making and cheesecakes.

00:41Lydia first started making cheesecakes for friends and family.

00:45It kind of quickly developed from there as people started seeing the kind of stuff that

00:49she was making and sort of wanted a piece of the action, which is when we started to

00:53take it a bit more seriously, and that's kind of where we've got to today really.

00:57So tell me about the business, and it's obviously on Facebook I believe?

01:03Yes, yes.

01:04So Lydia's Cheesecake, namely named after Lydia, started out as I say just through word

01:09of mouth, through friends and family.

01:11We made a little page for Lyds just to document for her really, you know, photos, videos,

01:16stuff for us all to see.

01:18It's available on Facebook.

01:20We've recently partnered with Haven't More Liverweeds and an upcoming partnership with

01:23a new business.

01:25So to order Lydia's Cheesecakes, you can just message our Facebook page.

01:29So long as it's sort of reasonable hours, Lyds is more than prepared to get involved.

01:34But on her page, you can order sort of any time.

01:37Haven't More Liverweeds, you can order on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

01:41You can collect, we can deliver, sort of whatever's convenient for you guys.

01:45That's brilliant.

01:46So Lydia, tell me, what's your favourite cheesecake to eat?

01:50Cheesecake.

01:51Is it?

01:53What type, how many different cheesecakes can you make?

01:57Lemon.

02:01You've just got loads.

02:02There's just too many to remember.

02:04All sorts, haven't you?

02:05So what do you do?

02:06Do you do different types?

02:07Lemon biscuit.

02:08Do you do different like trays and things?

02:11Tell me a little bit about those then.

02:14What can people order?

02:15So what size is that one that you're holding?

02:17Small.

02:18A small.

02:19And what's the medium one called?

02:20A cup.

02:21Oh, that's a large one.

02:22A medium one's called a cup.

02:25Sorry, you've got me confused now.

02:27A medium one's called a tub.

02:29And a large one's called a cup.

02:32But you also do really big whoppers, don't you?

02:35Yes.

02:36Massive.

02:378 inch or 10 inch.

02:38They're like about that big.

02:39That big.

02:40Wow.

02:41So we've made a few for people's birthdays.

02:44Sort of corporate events, they seem to go down well.

02:47But we can also do really, really small ones as well, can't we?

02:50They're your favourite ones.

02:52Tell me why you like doing it, Lydia.

02:55Because it makes me busy.

02:58Keeps you busy?

03:00Is it nice and relaxing?

03:02As a tired old lady.

03:04Is it nice and relaxing when you're doing it?

03:08Yeah?
