From the Style Capital Of The World

I am very proud to present the BAKING creation of a very talented  young woman who is great fun and very hard-working. She is also has impeccable style – which you would expect as she is from glorious Italy! Here is a personal message from Elena:

Hi everyone,

I’m Elena and I am from Italy, but I have been living in London for 5 years now.

I am quite new to the ‘baking world’ as I only started baking during the lockdown, and I have to say that it was a good way to distract myself from what was going on. I also had time to find other hobbies, but baking and cooking are my favourites.

I enjoyed trying new recipes and making my housemates taste some of the most traditional Italian dishes and cakes, although I also challenged myself to try making some English specialties.

For this Bake-Off, I decided to bake a ‘raspberry tart with custard, raspberry jam and white chocolate on a chocolate base‘. 

I would recommend this cake as a dessert after lunch or dinner to impress family or friends especially over Summer.

It is a shame that you can’t have a slice.

Elena! That is exactly how we feel! I am sure our BAKE-OFF judge, kitchen guru Jeanne, feels exactly the same way!

I knew that when Elena baked, it would not only taste delicious but it would look amazing! She has so much style, and as you can see her baking has great style too!
