About the Author
Author, baker, and television personality Helena Garcia was born in Spain. Due to her fathers job Helena lived in several cities across Spain, Madrid, Barcelona, Valladolid, and The Canary Islands before finishing high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. After completing her studies there, she moved back home and started her degree in psychology in Salamanca. On her second year of university, she joined the Erasmus program and went to Leeds University where she finished her studies. She worked in several industries and went back to study interior design seeking to develop a career in a creative setting, which led to Helena being given the chance to take over a beautiful Victorian apothecary where she developed her own brand of fashion accessories and oddities.
Helena was one of the 2019 Great British Bake Off (also known as The Great British Baking Show) contestants and won the hearts of the nation with her eccentric style, spooky approach, and fun-loving personality. She has also appeared in several television shows, including the hit series What We Do in the Shadows, and she continues to write for national and international publications.
Obsessed with anything witchy, Helena's self-published book, Introduction to Witchery: A Magical Guide for Witches that Craft, is a go-to guide for crafty witches that covers a bit of history of witchcraft in Britain, a guide to magical plants, and plenty of craft projects and recipes to help you live like every day is Halloween. Her second book, The Wicked Baker, was released in 2020, followed by The Witch-Crafting Handbook in 2021 and The Book of Gingerbread in2023. Her first picture book, My Mummy, was also published in 2023.
Helena lives in Yorkshire with husband Will, daughter Flora, and rescue wolf-dog Kato.
