My Story
From an early age, I was captivated by the art of baking and cake decoration. During summer holidays in France, I would find myself peering through the windows of traditional pâtisseries, mesmerised by the beautiful cakes and exquisite tarts on display. I dreamed of one day creating my own delicious treats and, more importantly, bringing people together through the joy of food.
That early inspiration has come full circle with the creation of Baker & Chef, a destination where people can come together, get creative and discover the joy of making delicious, beautiful bakes. My aim is to share my skills, knowledge and passion in a relaxed and inspiring environment, helping others build confidence in the kitchen while having plenty of fun along the way!
My love of cooking and baking naturally led me into the world of hospitality. After completing a degree in Hotel Management, I went on to establish and successfully run my own wedding cake business for more than 10 years. Alongside this, I worked in the retail industry, where I was responsible for organising and delivering large-scale events for a major high-street retailer — experiences that strengthened my passion for bringing people together and creating memorable occasions.
While I’m an enthusiastic home baker at heart, I’ve also continued to develop my professional skills and expertise through a number of industry accreditations. One of my proudest achievements is gaining my intermediate Diplôme de Pâtisserie from the world-renowned Le Cordon Bleu in London, following an intensive three-month programme specialising in classic French pâtisserie.
Today, Baker & Chef brings all of these experiences together — my love of food, creativity, hospitality and, above all, people. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced baker looking to learn something new, my goal is simple: to inspire you to get creative, have fun and create something delicious that you can be proud of.
I look forward to welcoming you to Baker & Chef,
