Baking addict Helen is a freelance journo and avid blogger. She’s a Brighton-born gal who passes the weeks flitting between the seaside city and the capital, torn between the fresh sea air and getting lost in London.
When she’s not glued to a mixing bowl, eating cake or tapping furiously away on her laptop, Helen enjoys the odd dash of cider and a good chinwag. Ultimate life goal: be part of a dance flashmob (fairly realistic) or be in a musical (probability of about 1%).
