That summer I travelled to Australia on my dream holiday. I was only in Sydney one day when I thought to myself, “I really like it here, I think I could see myself living here”.
I applied for my dream job in a patisserie and was lucky to get sponsored to work there. My skill set grew over the three years I was there and people were coming to the patisserie specifically for my cakes. After a lot of deliberation, I took the plunge. I put it out on Facebook that I was offering small cakes for lockdown birthdays, and to say I was bombarded with messages is an understatement. The Irish community is incredible out here. They have supported me from day one and I will forever be grateful.
