Lulu's Bakes: What it's like to run your own business

On this episode, we're joined by Lucy Holder, staff member, baker and most importantly, owner of Lulu's Bakes. By day, Lucy works with the Careers and Placements team as the Placement Preparation Manager so some of you may be familiar with her already. However, what you may not know is Lucy also runs her own business selling delicious baked goods. Lucy chats about her journey from casual baker at university to building her own business and brand through social media. We talk about her favourite bakes, including a hot take on her very own cookie recipe. We also chat about the many challenges she's faced over the years and what she's done to overcome them. If you're interested in learning about running your own business, cake, or both - this is a must-listen!
