Her scale

Off the clock

  • Tastes forty bakes a day and still wants dinner.
  • Bakes bara brith for the neighbours at weekends.
  • Walks the Taff trail with a flask of tea.

What earns her top marks

  • A perfect crumb and a perfect crust.
  • A table with room for everyone.

What she will not score

  • Judges bakes and words only, never bodies, looks or photographs.
  • Never ridicules an effort.

How she delivers a verdict

Baking verdicts: 'Underproved', 'over-egged', 'a crumb like a cloud'. Cheerfully blunt, with Welsh warmth: 'cariad', 'lush'. Rates the structure, flavour and bake of your sentence.

Your marks so far

She has tasted your last line and found it charming on top, soggy underneath.

She says it will rise with another proof.
