Let me introduce myself, I’m Lynda Trembling

My first decorated cake was a Christmas one which I made in my cookery lesson at school, – along time ago! I made birthday cakes for my children, family and friends. It was a great hobby but like all things circumstances and interests change and I stopped baking so many cakes.

That is until my eldest daughter got married (my first wedding cake!) and grandchildren started arriving. In the last few years, I have been really lucky to have been on courses with some truly amazing tutors including Eddie Spence MBE, Debbie Brown, Lindy Smith, Hannah Edwards -The Cake Illusionist, Sarah Jones, Laura Dodimead, Barbara Luraschi and the lovely Sharon Wee.

Six years ago, after unexplained weight loss, painful joints and other symptoms, I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease. Cakes as I knew them…………

But……. the grandchildren still needed christening, birthday, Christmas cakes. My passion and desire was still there! Because I cannot resist nibbling the cut off pieces of cake (taste control) I had to relearn the art of making cakes with gluten-free ingredients. After many trials (and weight gain) I am able to use a special blend of gluten-free flours that I am happy with and all my cakes and bakes are gluten-free.
