Fresh from winning Best at the Show at Cake International 2022, we are chatting to Jenny Chambers.
She chats about her whirlwind of a year including travelling to Canada to be in a TV Cake Competition, and just a month ago winning Cake International with her sculpted cake.
We find out why she chose the design she did, how she made a hole in a cake without any supports, and if she'll be entering again next year.
And on top of that, she is just the loveliest person and we could have chatted all evening.

This week Bronya and Sammie chat about how you can continue to have a thriving cake business even though there is an economic crisis looming on the horizon.
Both of them have lived through recessions before and come out the other side. With a bit of careful planning, targeted marketing and working smart with your customers there is no reason why you should have to close your order books.
