Dagenham’s very own pop sensation says she “kneads” to learn some tips to make a difference to her baking.

Stacey Soloman, who grew up in the borough, has teamed up with Dr. Oetker as part of a baking campaign to help mums become “Even Better” bakers.

She is joined by Emily Leary, creator of blog A Mummy Too, as part of Dr. Oetker’s Even Better Baking Team.

Stacey said: “For me, baking is all about having fun with the kids. I love to experiment and try new recipes with my boys even if they don’t turn out the best.”

The mum-of-two added that it’s great to learn tips that actually make a difference to her bakes.

Emily Leary said: “I’m really pleased to be part of the Even Better Baking Team. I know that sometimes people look at pictures of beautiful bakes and think, ‘I could never do that!’ so I jumped at the chance to be involved in a campaign that shows how easily people at home can produce great bakes with just a little guidance.”

The Even Better Baking tutorials will run until October 7. To watch their updates, follow @droetkerbakes on Twitter, DrOetkerBaking on YouTube or ‘like’ www.facebook.com/DrOetkerBaking.
