Kate Henry

Kate Henry

Kate appeared in the 2014 series of the Great British Bake Off.

Originally from Cambridgeshire, Kate now lives in Brighton with her daughter. Community-minded, every year Kate organises a street party and she loves to bake for her family – last year she made 15 Christmas cakes!

Sparky and full of beans, Kate is a creative baker and treats every bake as an experiment. She very rarely uses recipes or weighs ingredients. She once baked a life-sized Goldfinger Bond girl for her sister’s 40th birthday and a full-sized 3D sculpture of her friend’s head – all from cake.

Kate feels that cake is her strongest area, with pastry being her weakest. She bakes with her daughter, but admits that she is a terrible delegator in the kitchen.
