Lucy Willey

Lucy works as a bakery technologist at Kudos Blends. With a passion for baking and an academic background in bakery science, she brings a unique blend of creativity and scientific precision to her work.

Lucy achieved a first class honours degree in bakery science and technology from the historic National Bakery School in London, during which she interned as a pastry chef at the prestigious Savoy Hotel and a baker at Crumbs & Doilies, the iconic bakery run by YouTube sensation Cupcake Jemma. As a result, Lucy knows first-hand what goes into creating the highest quality bakes and, having completed her dissertation project on sugar reduction in baked goods, is ideally placed to help our customers achieve their nutritional goals as well.

One of Lucy’s most notable achievements was being part of the team that crafted a cake for the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and discussing the process with King Charles. She also worked on cakes featured at two Lord Mayor’s shows and even marched in the televised parade representing her university.

Beyond her professional pursuits, Lucy is a dedicated foodie who enjoys exploring new restaurants and cuisines around the country as well as trying out new recipes at home. She loves to travel and experience new destinations and, as an avid reader of books, enjoys nothing more than getting lost in a good thriller.

In the future, Lucy aspires to help others in the industry by sharing her knowledge through teaching and mentoring, and potentially writing her own book, be it recipe-related or fiction.
