Ursula Dwyer (cre8tive)

I live in Bedfordshire in the UK and am passionate about all things cake. I've always loved baking, but during a career break a few years ago I decided to take my passion a step further and to share my knowledge - as what's the point of knowedge if it can't be shared.

When not baking (or cooking in general) I also love to potter around my garden, where I'm more enthusiastic than green fingered, and also love to write. Like most people I need to balance all this with the practicalities of a day job and life admin - so though I don't get as much time to spend on my passions as I'd like, what time I do get is precious.
