Andy 44 Essex Car Mechanic "My strengths I’d say are probably making Bread and also Meat pies. My weakness is definitely eating too much bread and pies!" Christiaan 33 London : Menswear Designer "As a baker, one of my strengths is to not be afraid to try out new things, taking risks which may pay off or they may not. I also think my background in fashion can play to my strengths, when thinking about design/details/colours/etc.
" Dylan 20 Buckinghamshire Retail Assistant "Popcorn is my favourite snack, salted popcorn, I can eat only popcorn for days and be fine." Georgie 34 Carmarthenshire Paediatric Nurse "My strengths as a baker are that I have had many different influences in the kitchen from a young age so I have played with lots of various techniques. As a mother I never have much time so I always try to be able to pack as much flavour into my baking and cooking, in little time.
My ADHD does affect my everyday life and most definitely baking. When I can hyperfocus on a bake I can do it to the best of my ability in a short space of time. On the flip side this can also cause me to rush and make mistakes! Another weakness I feel is that I am quite heavy-handed, so can struggle with intricate designs.
