Entrepreneur and manager of the new venue, Shahzad Akber said; “Heavenly Desserts offers something different and was by far the best dessert venue I had experienced both in terms of the dishes served and the service from its staff. With the store fully opening on the 10th August, we are all now in the final stages of preparation ahead of our grand launch.”

The new Heavenly Desserts is not only bringing a new artisan dessert experience to Blackburn, but also new job opportunities.
