Discover Your Journey To Cake Making Excellence!

I know how it feels when you are baking on your own and need some help. 

I started out baking from home as a teenager, and for many years I ran a cake business from a tiny kitchen in my London flat.  I know the challenges you face as a home baker or if you are running a cake business.

  • What to do when things go wrong.
  • Who can you ask for expert help?
  • Where can you find reliable recipes?
  • Being worried about overcharging - having the confidence to charge for your work properly.
  • Not knowing how to attract more customers.

It's Time To Change...

Over the last few decades many harmful practices have become embedded in the food industry.  Thankfully, for compelling health and environmental reasons, there is a growing movement back to recognising the importance of cooking with good quality natural produce.   

I am part of this important movement, not least for the benefit of our daughter Neve. 

It's a no brainer! Good ingredients are better for us, better for the environment and make food taste better! 

So my cooking and baking is based on using quality ingredients with sound technique to deliver real flavour.
