The Work, Actually podcast is back and we have a very special guest - Georgia Green of Georgia's Cakes, a thriving cake designing business. Dubbed 'the Mary Berry for the younger generation' Georgia's mission was to bring classical baking down to a level that everyone can utilise whilst keeping up with the latest cake and baking trends. Listen to hear how she went from Le Cordon Bleu training to starting her own business and becoming a creator as a consequence - we discuss the opportunities and challenges of that and, of course, her brand new debut cook book full of incredible designs and technical decorating. Georgia’s Cakes: A step-by-step masterclass to make every cake a showstopper by Georgia Green (Pavilion Books) is available now.
