India Luck, 25, is the founder and owner of Heppni Bakeri - which will be opening "very soon".
Heppni, which means luck in old Norse, is her name of choice to combine a personal connection to the Nordic heritage of York.
Speaking at the shop in Swinegate, as preparations continue ahead of the opening, India said: "I started baking when I was 21 and I sort of fell into it, I had a friend opening a bakery at the time so I helped them out.
"I just totally fell in love with it."
