00:00 Hello, thanks for watching. I'm here in Olympia in Kensington where thousands of festive shoppers
00:07 have come for Christmas presents or inspiration. As well as shopping, there is also an eat
00:13 and drink festival, a cake and bake show and even a wrap off hosted by a star.
00:19 So I am here at the Ideal Home Show because I am judging a Christmas wrapping competition
00:26 with some lovely local primary schools. I am being told it's musical wrapping, not
00:30 actual Christmas wrapping.
00:31 [Children singing]
00:38 Well I tell you, I wasn't feeling festive until I walked into the Ideal Home Show and
00:44 now I'm feeling very festive. You can't help but be festive when you get here. I've
00:48 already heard lots of Christmas songs, I've met Santa and I'm getting ready for Panto
00:53 and it doesn't get more festive than that does it?
00:56 So it's my first year exhibiting this year. I'm a small business so this is a big deal
01:00 to have a stand here and it was an opportunity to meet loads of new bakers, get my business
01:05 out there, put the face behind the Instagram which you don't get to see a lot of people
01:09 all the time so it's just a really good opportunity to grow, learn and meet lots of new people.
01:13 Did you start the business over Instagram, over social media?
01:18 Yeah, it started in lockdown with an Instagram account. I moved that onto an Etsy shop quite
01:23 quickly and had a huge success in lockdown with all the bakers that were making amazing
01:28 things. So yeah, over the years just grew a little bit and here I am today with my first
01:33 stand and I'm really excited.
01:35 So we're working on the Yorkshire Pudding stand so we have to create as a wrap so it
01:40 turns into like a burrito wrap.
01:42 So the Yorkshire Pudding is the main thing on this dish basically.
01:46 And it's like a Sunday dish.
01:50 Do Yorkshire Puddings belong on a Christmas dinner?
01:52 Well I think it does, to be fair.
01:55 There are some people that think it belongs and some people think it's like a Sunday dinner
01:59 and then different on Christmas but I think you can have it on a Christmas.
02:03 The main part, definitely.
02:04 One of the main parts.
02:05 You can't have it in a vault.
02:06 Would it be the same?
02:07 Definitely not.
02:07 Definitely not!
