Lorena is the owner and pastry chef at Pasticceria Lorena, Nottingham. She left a career in the dance industry in 2014 to pursue a passion for baking using her Italian heritage as the driving force and her creative flair as her superpower. She specialises in baking authentic Italian patisserie for occasions, weddings and events and is particularly known for her spectacular dessert displays and traditional Italian wedding cake called the ‘The Millefoglie’. Like most Italians, Lorena is a foodie through and through, she likes to transform good, simple ingredients into delicious works of art with ‘Amore’ and a sprinkling of the ‘Dolce Vita’.
