AFTER two weeks of voting, the Leader can reveal the winner of Best Bakery 2025.
With 10 bakeries from across Wrexham and Flintshire in the final, there was plenty of competition.
Proving a hit with the public and taking the biggest slice of votes, was Gerrards on Queen Street, Wrexham.
Delivering the news straight to the popular shop in the city centre, the team and customers were joyous.
Overwhelmed manager Michelle Powis screamed and was choked with emotion.
She said: "I had felt sick just thinking we could win but this for the team and the whole shop.
"We've had so many of our lovely customers coming in with their voting forms, we're so happy."
