About

My name is Britt AKA She Who Bakes.
Up until eight years ago, I had never baked a cake before in my life! Diagnosed with depression following a string of personal tragedies, including losing my mum when I was 16, and suffering with the effects of septicaemia after an operation, I was set a challenge to bake a cake for a charity bake sale. I bought a packet mix (Mary Berry forgive me!) a lump of icing and created a square shaped Pudsey mess. He looked and tasted awful, but made me ridiculously happy. I quickly became obsessed with baking, started a blog and now years later, here I am! I’m very proud to say baking and blogging played a massive part in my recovery on every level. I regularly give talks raising awareness for mental health issues and the benefits creativity had on my journey back from depression. You can read my full story here.

I teach cake decorating classes and workshops at cake schools around the world as well as demonstrating at industry shows and exhibitions. I also teach blogging workshops for small businesses. To keep up to date with the latest courses please check my social media pages.

Presenting
