"I have always loved to cook and eventually decided to give up the law and go to train as a chef. I trained at Leiths School of Food and Wine where I passed the professional diploma with a distinction and won the Louis Latour wine student of the year award. I now run my own wedding cake company (www.chloecoker.com) which specialises in designer wedding cakes, contemporary sugar flowers and bespoke iced cookies for private individuals, corporate clients and product launches for companies such as Maxfactor and Olay. I also teach cookery, both privately and at a couple of cookery schools in London, write food articles and work as a private chef. I was approached recently by a publisher to do a book iced cookies and it is out on 11 August. Aimed at all abilities, from novice bakers to busy mums and experienced bakers looking for new ideas, there are projects for all occasions and lots of projects for children to make for the holidays."
