| Introduction | Born in London, Lynne was raised in an artistic and creative environment. Having no television and little means of distraction, crafts and manual tasks were not unusual in her family, with artistic talents ranging from floral art, to painting, music, needlework, photography and nail art. By the age of 9 Lynne was well on her way to becoming interested in cooking and was developing her skills in her mother's kitchen. By 13 years of age Lynne's Home Economics teacher was complaining "she's trying to teach me things", by this time Lynne was already making cakes in her spare time and selling them and had long since learned how to make jell-o! When two of her close friends got married four years ago, Lynne immediately volunteered for the task of making the cake. She produced her first "important" cake. At this point she realized that she had no formal training in cake decorating and began night school to learn the foundation. After obtaining her certificates she created 'Let Them Eat Cakes'. The credit for this name and indeed the courage for this venture goes entirely to Ben, her love, her mentor, her friend and advisor. |
