Carys is sat behind the till at a computer. The text on the image reads: "I love making coffees on the machine. Lattes and cappuccinos are my favourite."
Karl is drizzling a dressing over a cake in the kitchen. The text on the image reads: "One of my highlights was learning how to bake cherry Bakewell's with Meg, a mentor and the cafe's chef."
