Iced Gem Cakes

I became interested in cakes from an early age watching my gran make birthday cakes for all the family. Blue icing for the boys and pink icing for the girls. I trained and worked as a chef for 12 years. Starting a commis chef in a private hospital, I went on work as head cook in a home for kids and young adults with severe learning difficulties. Finding my main culinary interest in Pastry and all things sweet, I went to work as a confectioner in a bakery in Cornwall where I discovered Saffron Buns! Missing home I moved back to Brighton to work as Head Pastry Chef at the University of Sussex.
