It has been so long since I wrote, I hardly know what to say to you… how have you been? Like so many of us, I have neglected traditional blogging in favour of social media posts and keeping head above water in a pandemic. However, I could not let the relaunch of my website pass without explaining a few of the changes that you may or may not have noticed. Firstly, I need to say a huge thank you to Jason Kahl for understanding the very weird brief that I gave him for what I needed to convey. Believe me, if you think this is all confusing, just try having Jason’s job! I am proud to call Jason one ..read more

Fantasy Bakes: The Joker

Give a writer a gift; a villain as old as Batman with no name or origins upon which they may create a character. The Joker has the potential to become to future generations of actor as defining a role as any Shakespearean villain. I love each and every Joker just a little in his own special way and would love to bake a cake for The Joker. In this episode of Fantasy Bakes, I discuss The Joker as seen on screen and take my film degree out for a spin. Listen and subscribe to Fantasy Bakes on Apple Podcasts by clicking here.

Fantasy Bakes: Dita Von Teese

She is the Queen of Burlesque and a style icon. If Dita Von Teese has made any other woman feel as good about themselves as she has made me feel – though her embracing of her looks and celebration of her body – then she deserves all the cake! You see, it’s not about how big or small, how tanned or pale you are, but how fabulous you feel. Listen and subscribe to Fantasy Bakes on Apple Podcasts by clicking here.

Fantasy Bakes: The Cure

I’ve always lacked the nerve to meet my heroes and had always believed that you should never meet them. Then I met my Husband whose love of The Cure led to precious time spent with the band over the last 30+ years, which makes me question my stance on this. The Cure are icons and are also surprisingly lovely. I would love to bake them a cake… again. Listen and subscribe to Fantasy Bakes on iTunes by clicking here.

Though I have been paid to write this article, the opinions expressed are genuine. I have purchased this product in the past and truly love it. I don’t work with brands that I don’t use personally and love completely. Plus… anyone who has met me knows that I am a sunscreen pusher! Are you wearing sunscreen? Here, use some of mine. You only have to look at me to realise that I am no sun-worshipper; a few steps out of the shade in the height of summer and I burst into flames like a cartoon vampire! That’s an exaggeration of course but I really am one of those people who burns but does not ..read more

Fantasy Bakes: She-Ra

She-Ra was something different; she was a girl like I was a girl. The 1980s original She-Ra may be far from woke but the overall image of a woman saving the day was a good one to grow up on. This is the story of She-Ra and of one little girl growing up believing that she too could defeat the forces of evil with a sword and a unicorn.

I Would Love to Bake a Cake for… Christopher Abbott as Gene Kelly

It’s times like these that make me regret not pursuing my teenage dream of becoming a big-time Hollywood film producer. The dream was always to make it to the big-time, via a series of cult indie classics and Palm d’Or winners before eventually picking up a few Best Picture OSCARS. I would have liked to have gone on to receive the Academy’s fellowship, had a BAFTA award named after me, and a huge teary-eyed standing ovation at my picture in the ‘people we lost this year’ montage when my time came. Hey, dream big or go home kids. Reality kicked my arse in a whole other direction when I graduat ..read more

I Would Love to Bake a Cake for… England’s Lionesses

I have watched more football over the past few weeks than I have done since I was forced to as a child. I grew up in a football-loving household and, with the full Sky Sports package in my teens, my Brother would manage to find football to watch every day of the year. Whenever Aston Villa weren’t playing, there were other Premiership games, Championship games, the Euros, the World Cup, Brazilian beach football, if there was a ball being kicked around, we were watching it! It’s not that I didn’t enjoy the games, there were just things I would rather have been watching – like movies. I would wa ..read more

Fantasy Bakes: RuPaul

As host of the Emmy Award winning RuPaul’s Drag Race, RuPaul has done so much over the past decade to increase the visibility of LGBTQ+ people and issues on TV. As a cis-gender straight woman who sees herself as an ally, being afforded the chance to peak behind the velvet curtain and learn is something that I am grateful to Mama Ru for. Listen and subscribe to Fantasy Bakes on iTunes by clicking here. Listen and follow Fantasy Bakes on Spotify by clicking here. RuPaul says that we are all ‘born naked and the rest is drag.’ Girl, can I get an amen up in here? I would love to bake a cake for R ..read more
