From early on Elizabeth had a fascination with both art and cake making and the fusion of the two began in Brighton where she studied at a cordon bleu style French cookery course and won prizes for her cake creations. After spending time in Canada she returned to England and participated in a cookery course at Raymond Blanc's hotel, Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons were so impressed with her work that she is now one of the designated people to make cakes for their clients.

Elizabeth created a stunning cake for the launch of the ITV children's series 'Watership Down' which was attended by Steven Gately from Boyzone, Richard Briars and Jane Horrocks who created the voices for the characters. The cake later appeared at a party for children at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
