About Matty

It’s hard to pinpoint the exact time I began baking, but it is something that’s always been a part of my life. In many ways, it is a kind of therapy for me. A complete escapism that rather conveniently ends in something I get to enjoy further by eating. 

However, baking isn’t always stress free and I’m not here to sugar coat it! It’s safe to say I have had my fair share of disasters – from soggy bottoms, curdled buttercream and flour covered kitchens. I’ve had it all but I can’t help myself but come back for more. I am fascinated by the trails and tribulations that baking brings!

In 2023 I stepped into the formidable white tent of The Great British Bake Off and embarked on the craziest 10 weeks of my life! Being on the show was like a crash course on all things baking and enhanced my skills and knowledge in ways I never thought possible. 

Since winning Bake Off, I have embarked on various new baking adventures. From working with big brands such as Allinson’s Flour, Carnations and Guylian, to baking live on ITVs This Morning and countless food festivals around the UK.  I have amassed a 458K following on Instagram, and a 70K following on TikTok, where I share free, easy to follow recipes each week.

My goal is to breakdown barriers and make baking accessible to everyone. My aim is to demonstrate not only how rewarding baking can be, but also how achievable it is- you don’t need any fancy gear or ingredients! Just a bit of will power. No gate keeping here, I’m happy to share all the tips and tricks I have picked up along the way!
