Aimee Twigger Holiday Gift Guide
For the Baker
Photography by Aimee Twigger
Aimee Twigger lives in the seaside town of Devon and her passion for food and photography came about very much by accident about 7 years ago, when she started a blog to share her recipes.
In a short space of time, Aimee has become an incredibly talented food photographer, recipe developer and beloved creative mentors.
We are thrilled to share this special gift guide that Aimee has created, for all of the bakers on your gift list this holiday season. This is a dedicated wishlist for bakers, from ingredients to baking equipment…. and Aimee has whispered in my ear that she wouldn’t mind finding a few of these under her tree this Christmas.
