Dave bakes at least once a week at the home he shares with his girlfriend, and always while listening to his favourite punk rock bands.
Hermine
Hermine, 39, is an accountant living in London. Hermine was born and raised in Benin, West Africa and made her first cake at the age of eight.

Living in Benin has given Hermine's baking a French influence, and she loves a high-end pâtissérie. She also specilises in sourdough - so much so that her nine-year-old son now refuses to eat any other bread!
"My strength is my understanding of how ingredients work together and how to get flavours right," she said.
Hermine is mega creative and also loves cooking marmalades and jams to give as gifts to friends and family.
Linda

Loriea loves including coconut, chillies and cinnamon in her food - and always tries to tweak recipes to make them her own.
Laura
Digital manager Laura, 31, from Kent says she bakes from the heart and likes to include flavours that "pack a punch".

When Lottie isn't baking, you'll find her playing computer games with her young cousins, or practising yoga.

Makbul has recently taken up beekeeping and loves using his own honey in his bakes.
Marc
