About Thea Bakes
Welcome to my baking bubble! I'm Thea, food blogger and lover of coming up with creative baking ideas. This will be your one-stop-shop for baking inspiration, with everything you need: easy baking recipes for beginners, desserts to impress, and expert baking tips.
My love for baking started when I was very little - I remember standing on a footstool to reach the counter to bake flapjacks with my Nan. And my love for sweet food has never dwindled... although my patience is definitely tested when I'm trialling new recipes since they rarely go right first time. I've learnt that, that is what I'm here for.
Check out my deliciously recipes, tried and tested to make baking easy and accessible for all.

Who is Thea?
That is a very good question. And without getting too philosophical...
Here are 4 fun facts about me:
I love dogs (A LOT). I grew up with two labradors, one black labrador called Harvey, and a golden labrador called Archie. It's safe to say that having my own dog one day is a dream, but they would have a lot to live up to!
My favourite bake is Millionaire's Shortbread. I never thought I would have said that when I first started baking them in lockdown because they took a long time to get right, but now it's possible that I could make millionaire's shortbread with my eyes shut (although, not sure sure that would be very safe).
I have a First Class English Literature and Media degree. This included a lot of reading and writing, but it was an incredible experience to study at the University of Sussex and get to explore Brighton.
One of my favourite holidays has to be my trip to Japan. A once in a lifetime trip for our honeymoon, and a couple bonus fun facts are that I got married in May, and even made our wedding cake!!
