After running it now for three years with her boyfriend Richard and her best friend Alisa, Vikki has not changed much from the previous owners, from the food offerings to the décor, in fear of alienating the business' longtime and primarily older customers. That fear stems from needing to keep the business afloat until she pays off the previous owners in about six years time. But in making baked goods that look like they are from a 1980s bakery, Vikki isn't happy in not having put her own stamp on the business in making the same dated cakes day-in and day-out and in wanting to attract a younger clientele, Langford's demographic which is shifting to young families. And all she knows about running a business she learned on the fly from watching the previous owners, she currently just making ends meet. While Steve can see that Vikki knows how to bake, he has to show her that change is not always a bad thing and that modernization does not mean totally throwing out the old. In focusing on cake items, Vikki had outsourced certain items, such as sausage rolls, Steve wanting her to replace it, a good seller but in and of itself not good tasting, to something they can make in house. But Vikki's biggest fear may be realized when Steve wants her to phase out the raspberry decadence cake - the previous owners recipe and what the bakery has been known for - to replace it with a modernized version called the raspberry dream cake. With the updated menu, Tiffany wants to update the space including to play up on the "lighthouse" nautical theme which is currently missing. Written by Huggo See less
