Anna Dillon from Glasgow Scotland Spectacular Pakistan: An International Sugar Art Collaboration - Interview

Anna Dillon is from Glasgow Scotland, from a young age Anna has always been involved in arts and crafts hence gaining an HND in Interior Design.

Here was the beginning of mixing art with cakes which led her to enter the Cake and Bake show held in Edinburgh and awarded second place for Amateur cakes. Anna is self-taught and has gained multi-awards at Cake International in Birmingham.
