The winner of the BBC’s Great British Bake-Off was the star turn at the weekend’s Foodies Festival Christmas at Brick Lane’s Old Truman’s Brewery, having won the national kitchen talent contest in October.
“I’ll be making some of my favourite festive bakes,” she promised—and she did. “The audience can recreate these cakes at home and ‘wow’ their friends and family.”
Millions of viewers watched her in October turning out an icing cake that looked the dead spit of a peacock.
