The Rebirth of Annie Bennett
It was such a pleasure to talk to Ex-Headteacher, Opera Singer and now owner her baking business Leading Lady Cakes, Annie Bennett.
Annie and I talk about the big dreams we often have for our lives and how sometimes, when they actually happen, they are not what you thought they would be and how disappointing this can feel. We also talk about how often, even if you don't know it, you already have all the ingredients you need for your purpose in life but all along you were trying to make flapjack without recognising that you've already made some delicious brownies (or something like that!).
Annie left full time teaching in 2019. Since then her business has gone from strength to strength, with orders being placed up to 2 years in advance. She works closely with other wedding suppliers, and has much experience in the world of baking and weddings.
As well as making wedding cakes, she now uses her teaching skills to teach the business of home baking. She started The Home Baking Business Comunity UK group in 2020, which now has a membership of over 8,000. She has recently started a group for wedding cake makers, The Wedding Cake Business Group UK, and also runs a paid membership, The Home Baking Professionals Society.
She has published and sold a range of books for home baking businesses, and has sold over 2000 copies since her first publication in 2021. Her most popular title, The Home Baking Business Food Hygiene Record Book, has sold over 1000 copies, and is regularly at the number 1 spot of the home business category on Amazon. The book is also loved by EHOs and those that have seen it, recommend it!
She is also regularly featured in the national media, having been featured in Hello, Metro, the BBC and Woman Magazine.
Annie is not only a fully qualified and experienced teacher of 30 years, but also has qualifications in bookkeeping, tax assessment and payroll. Out of the kitchen, and quite often within it, she is a fully trained operatic soprano, which was the inspiration for the name of her baking business. She has sung the leading roles of Carmen and Tosca and many other roles from Puccini, Mozart, Donizetti and Verdi, and being a talented seamstress has also made the costumes for the various roles she has sung. She lives in East Sussex with her two gorgeous daughters and is very likely to be increasing her cat count from two to many within the foreseeable future.
