Product Information

The mouthwatering cakes in this book are created by Julia Head, working under the direction of Asher Budwig and his team of bakers at LOLA's. Asher grew up watching his father Mario Budwig establish the hugely successful Millie's Cookies, which grew to over 100 stores across the UK. Mario in turn was inspired by his mother and grandmother, who ran a patisserie and cafe from the 1940s in Colombia, South America.
