About Me
Hi, I'm Helen, the owner and baker extraordinaire and this is my blog: Cakeylicious!
I have over 30 years of food and baking experience and here, I will share all of that knowledge and insight, with you.
I have always worked with Cakes, Bread and Pastry, and learned to bake watching my Nan on a Sunday morning.
I am also a bit of a food science geek so as well as some great recipes, you will get the science behind them too. Don't worry, nothing too technical!
It's all fun here, we will just learn some great stuff too.
