Nicky Laceby

Where:

Outer Bailey Demonstration Stage - Outer Bailey

When:

Nicky, a former cabin crew member, and contestant on ‘The Great British Bake Off’ last year, describes her baking as ‘like a pair of comfy old slippers; little traditional bakes that evoke fond memories’.

For Nicky herself, those memories are of her Gran’s kitchen table where, as a little girl, she would roll out pastries and decorate cakes – which she says was as much fun then as all her baking is to her now. Her favourite bakes are still pastries, but she also loves making breads, and fun birthday cakes for her niece and grandchildren.

When she’s not baking, Nicky volunteers for a pet-therapy charity (along with her dog, Bracken) and loves to ski, which she has been doing since she was only three years old.

Originally from Dundee, Nicky now lives in Shropshire.
