E02 - Harry Bakess - the aircraft engineer who throws cakes in the air.

This week, we sit down with a relative newcomer to the baking world, and our first male guest - Harry.   Harry started baking 2020 but has very quickly developed his skills, built an incredible social media following on both Instagram and TikTok, and is now even teaching at a cake school not far from where he lives!

How has he achieved such success so quickly?  We find out and also learn that Harry's laid back attitude and ability to balance his day job - an aircraft engineer - with this baking life is definitely not an easy task but he has managed to make it work!

Harry is incredibly easy going to chat with and this episode he takes the time to give healthy insight into how he was able to build his social media following so quickly.  Within 18 months he's closing in on 100k followers on Instagram and over 50k on TikTok.  This is after Instagrams algorithm changes from 2021 that made this so much harder for many to grow their accounts.

We hope he inspires many of you who are just starting or who have been doing this a while to grab opportunity when it comes and have a lot of fun doing it!
