Urvashi

Age: 40
From: Enfield, London
Job: Head of Marketing

Urvashi recently turned 40 and decided to try and do 40 things that she had never done before – and taking part in The Great British Bake Off came top. She is self-taught and started baking when she received a free baking book from her local milkman. She has been baking obsessively in the past four years and loves the way baking smells.

She previously owned a flower shop and loves the decoration element of baking. Most of her cakes feature flowers.
