Karen

Age: 60 

Karen began her love affair with baking during the 15 years in which she and her husband owned a house in France. Although she had baked with her mum since she was little, it was the local French patisserie that really inspired her. Now, she can knock up profiteroles, Religieuse buns, tartes au citron, and even foot long eclairs to rival any French bakery.

Karen is unafraid to experiment in her baking and has even been known to go into baking “frenzies” whenever there is a party or a BBQ, baking everything she can think of and freezing as she goes.
