The baker

Hi, I’m Liz

I’ve been baking for a long time. Busy Lizzie’s started in my family kitchen in Alvaston, fuelled by my boys’ wonderfully random cake requests (a pork pie cake, anyone?). Every cake is made to order, every filling is homemade, and I’m a sucker for a Bake Off marathon.

Honestly the best brownies in Derby. Fudgy, rich and they didn’t last the evening.

The cake was even better than the picture in my head. Everyone wanted to know where it came from, and the lemon curd filling was gone in minutes.
