Michelle Smith with the Bronze Medal award Cooks Bakery won in the Great Aussie Pie competition earlier this year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 4, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

A young couple in Nanango has taken over one of the town’s best-known businesses, but they’re no newcomers to the shop.<\/p>\n

Michelle and Jamie Smith, who are both n their early 20s, took over Cooks Bakery in Drayton Street on December 1.<\/p>\n

The business has been run for the past nine and a half years by Barry and Jan Leask.<\/p>\n

In 2006, the Leasks hired a young Nanango apprentice baker … Jamie.<\/p>\n

Jamie did his apprenticeship at the store and qualified as a baker in 2010.<\/p>\n

Along the way he also met Kingaroy girl Michelle …\u00a0 and the rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n

The couple now has a three-month-old daughter, Codee, and their very own business.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, while the Leasks were still in charge, Cooks Bakery took out a Bronze Award in the Great Aussie Pie Competition<\/a><\/strong> in the Plain (mince) category.<\/p>\n

But as Jamie was the baker, the couple have kept the certificate in pride of place in their new store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
