“Guiding me through this is my baking guru, Lily Vanilli. Before the lockdown, I had taken a cake decorating class at her East London studio, which I highly recommend for anyone looking to learn how to evenly stack and ice a cake.”

“Lily Vanilli isn’t just a baker, she’s THE baker of London. Her decadent Regency-style cakes have taken over the capital, appearing at many fashion parties and celebrity birthdays. You probably have a handful saved on your Instagram too. And now you can attend a class and learn from Lily herself.”
