Laura Adlington, from Gravesend, has been baking since the age of eight, but she only realised her flair and talent for it a few years ago.
While she is a digital manager and baker, she has been a great success.
Laura enjoys strong flavours and citrus, and loves to give new life to old recipes.
She did have some bumps in the road, including her ice cream cake melt.
She also experienced a bit of trouble during the final when her custard pie failed to set.
Laura finished last in Technical Challenge. Although her Showstopper wasn’t the most impressive, it was delicious.
