People ask what the secret of a happy marriage is. If there is one, it's 'don't talk about it.

I adore food and always have.

I learnt basic cookery by watching my mum.

I am proud of my cake-making image but life is not that perfect. There are socks in my fruit bowl.

Of all the things I do, acting is the thing that grabs most, but there's another level on which it strikes me as being a little silly. In the end you're dressing up and deciding to be somebody.

We get a lot of overseas people wanting to order cakes.

Having cakes as a business certainly changes things for me - I don't now sit at home doing a cake for the fun of it anymore. But it's an extremely happy and pleasureable business to run because people are generally buying cakes for celebrations.
