Carina Lepore could introduce some ‘Apprentice’ themed products to her bakery.
The 30-year-old entrepreneur was hired by Lord Alan Sugar in Wednesday’s (18.12.19) final, and she admitted although the idea hadn’t crossed her mind, she’d be open to the idea of some baked goods inspired by the BBC reality show.
She told the Daily Star Online: "Maybe. I haven’t thought about that yet.
"There will be something innovative products, I’m sure. I haven’t thought about the ‘Claude roll’ as of yet."
Carina – who owns a bakery in London – explained she is looking to add more sites in 2020, but the focus will be on her established business for now.
She said: "We’re planning on rolling out the bakeries in 2020, but definitely keen to get some new shops and some new Dough bakehouses.
"We’re sticking to London for now because we don’t want to change the dynamic too much too soon. We gotta start off slow and then gradually build it."
Meanwhile, Carina – who triumphed over Scarlett Allen-Horton in the final – has explained her big win was made even more poignant as Lord Sugar will invest in her family business.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I was over the moon. I was so happy. To get the ‘you’re going to be my business partner’ finger was incredible.
"My family are my driving force, they are the reason I work so hard. I’ve proved to them all that if you work hard you can get what you want."
The bakery owner, who only found about her triumph on Sunday (15.12.19), believes Lord Sugar will have plenty to offer her business.
Carina said: "It’s Lord Sugar. He’s going to bring all of his expertise from his years in business. He’s going to push me in the right direction and I’m really looking forward to it."
