Baked With Love by Katie

My interest in baking began as an 8 year old child stood in my Nan's kitchen, watching her as she whipped up a carrot cake for afternoon tea. The thought of having carrots in a cake completely disgusted me at first, I mean who would put actual carrots in a cake!! But then.....oh my gosh, I smelt it baking.....and then I tasted it and man oh man I was sold. I soon came to the conclusion that the pe

rson who first thought to put carrots in a cake was in fact a total genius, and I decided there and then that I wanted to learn how to create such wonderfully yummy things myself. Over the years I have made my Nan's carrot cake more times than I care to remember, but I have also learnt, experimented with and perfected a number of recipes for different cakes, cupcakes and other sweet treats which my family and friends have been only too happy to taste test... thankfully with resounding success. The other half of my caking love story is the decorating part. This is where things get really fun. I love seeing designs and ideas come to life. From a simple, modern single tier or cupcakes, to an intricately detailed multi-tier, I am equally passionate about all my bakes and love seeing the final product come together. So when you need an extra special, super tasty treat for your important occasion (or just because you fancy something sweet), be sure to give me a shout.
