A DESSERT shop in Barnsley Market is celebrating hitting one million followers on TikTok - and they’re now thinking big with their expansion plans.
Dolly’s Desserts, based in Market Kitchen, is a family-owned business run by 21-year-old Charlie Smark and her mum Janine Davies.
Charlie started their TikTok account during the first lockdown and quickly saw the shop’s follower count rise, reaching 100,000 by August.
She’s amassed more than 40 million likes on the social media platform and on Wednesday celebrated hitting their biggest milestone yet - one million followers.
“I didn’t expect to get to this when we started - it’s really overwhelming,” Charlie said.
“I don’t think we’d be where we are now without TikTok - it’s been really helpful.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
