A NEW bakery opens in York this week with owners drawing inspiration from its home-run origins.

Sweet Dreams Bakery in George Hudson Street opens at 8am on Saturday, June 15.

Mara Cioineag, 27, and husband, 25-year-old Dainius Laurusevicius, started out during the lockdown of 2020 as a small business run from the home kitchen with deliveries being made via Just Eat.
