"SOLD OUT" LAUNCH EVENT – LIZZIE BAKING BIRD
Welcome to the first Live Love Laugh Ladies Club Event at our new venue “Crossroads.”
Our guest speaker is Lizzie Crow whose business is called “Lizzie Baking Bird.” Lizzie is not professionally trained as a baker but shares her love of cooking (especially baking) of many years from her mum. Having worked for the NHS, Lizzie would return home feeling stressed and so would cook her frustrations away. So, when the time came that she needed to leave her job Lizzie found that she had to cook more to the extreme that her chap begged her to go out and sell what she had baked – To then a Baker was born.
Lizzie uses Dorset produce and can be seen selling her delicious breads, cakes and pastries at local farmers markets, food festivals and from home. She has won many Food Awards, including a Gold Star from the Guild of Fine Food for her Christmas Puddings in November 2024, Lizzie will share her stories of her baking journey from a knee to a grasshopper to the present time.
