Frances Quinn
Ambassador
Before winning the Great British Bake Off, Frances Quinn's background was in design, having studied Textile Design at Nottingham Trent University and going on to work within design companies in London to Vancouver. She often gets asked 'what would you choose baking or design'? But for in her mind, it’s never a choice and always a collaboration of the two. Frances is constantly thinking creatively whether designing with food or fabric. It’s what drives her ideas and is the ingredient that helps her produce unique and edible designs.
Although best known for winning The Great British Bake Off, drawing and thinking creatively is the inspiration behind my ideas and bakes... it is my background in design and the fusing together of food and art that I’m most passionate to share
Frances Quinn
From fabric through to food, Francis sees inspiration in everything. Her creative process always starts or ends with an idea, design or concept that she often finds easier to express by ‘drawing’ on her imagination. Sketching up designs and pairing them with a recipe helps to feed both her own and other people’s creative appetite before she has even reached for a spoon. It’s the impact, response and experiences created through designing with food that Francis finds the most inspiring.
