Molly Bakes began her baking career in 2009 when she lost her job in the recession. Because she is not a formally trained baker, she is brilliant at taking the mystery out of seemily specialist areas of baking. Her first book Cake Pops, published in 2011, was a hit. Her bakes can be found everywhere from her Brick Lane stall to Selfridges and her fans have included Vogue and Lady Gaga.
