I am a baker, food writer and TV personality and the author of six cookbooks - The Boy Who Bakes (2011), Say It With Cake (2012) and Patisserie Made Simple (Oct 2014), One Tin Bakes (2020), One Tin Bakes Easy (2021) and The Sunday Times Bestseller Small Batch Bakes (2022).

I grew up in a house where baking was a regular occurrence, my first memory was standing on a stool in the kitchen helping my mum to make mince pies.  After studying politics at university I realised the corporate world wasn’t for me and after entering and winning the first series of The Great British Bake Off (BBC Two) I jumped at the chance of following my passion for baking. 

I write freelance for numerous magazines and newspapers and my work has featured in publications such as BBC Good Food, Olive Magazine, Delicious, The Washington Post, Bake From Scratch, The Guardian and many more. I also make regular appearances on TV including on Sunday Brunch, Saturday Kitchen, Good Morning America and as resident baker on The Alan Titchmarsh Show.

Theboywhobakes.co.uk has been named as one of the best UK blogs by Woman and Home Magazine and as one of the best baking blogs by Channel4.com.
