Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—I would like to recognise the outstanding achievement of Anara Yager, a talented young baker from Charlestown who has taken out first prize in the 13 to 20-year-old decorated cupcake competition at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Winning such a prestigious competition at just 13 years old is an incredible accomplishment and a true reflection of Anara's creativity, talent and dedication. Her beautifully decorated cupcakes impressed judges on one of the biggest stages in the country and made our local community incredibly proud. Anara's love of baking began when she was just two years old, learning alongside her nonna in the kitchen. Since then, her passion has only grown, and two years ago at age 11, she turned that passion into her own business, Cupcake Dreams. Through Cupcake Dreams, Anara has not only found a wonderful creative outlet where she can express her artistic flair through decorating, but she is also learning valuable business skills at a young age all whilst doing what she loves. I congratulate Anara on this sweet success and look forward to seeing where her creativity, talent and ambition take her next.
