A Highland Patissier is hitting the open road to share its delicacies in hometowns far and wide.
The confectioner is expanding by launching its own mobile shop.
The family-run business, which has been run up until now from the village of Edderton near Tain, has traditionally traded through pop-up shops, hosted at a range of locations across the Highlands.
Now, owner Abigail Rodriguez has unveiled their “exciting” new venture as they prepare to hit the road in the coming weeks.
Sharing the news on social media, they uploaded a series of images of their new mobile shop, excited for the adventure that lies ahead.
They wrote: “We’ve taken a big step forward—we’ve bought a mobile shop! Soon, we’ll be bringing our cakes, artisanal tarts, and handmade chocolates directly to you.
“We’re aiming to start trading by the end of February, and we’d love to hear from you—where should we take our mobile shop? Let us know in the comments or send us a message.
“We can’t wait to hit the road and share our sweet creations with more of you. Stay tuned for updates.”

Fans of Highland Patissier have taken to the comments to share their delight over the plans and congratulate the owners while outlining the various places they would like them to visit.
Aviemore, Strathpeffer Pavillion, Nairn and Forres are among the suggestions made in the comments.
Meanwhile, a trip to the north-east could be on the cards, with some requesting their presence in Ellon, Aberdeen, Peterhead, Oldmeldrum and Inverurie.
