Gabe

From Love Productions: "Naturally curious and experimental, Danni loves exploring the countryside and foraging for ingredients. Their bakes often combine foraged finds such as magnolia, chestnut and dandelion with far-flung flavours like ube and red bean paste. Living in Dorset with their parents, sister and three cocker spaniels, Danni works alongside their dad at an HGV service centre, keeping the mechanics on their toes with invoices and cost-tracking. Always tinkering, Danni has a host of projects on the go, from anime doodling to soldering broken traces on the motherboard of her Commodore 64. A tech enthusiast, they love decorating their bakes with inspiration from video games and animation. Danni's designed websites for fun, created their own visual novel games and even managed to bring an old VCR back to life.Self-styled “daddy of Birmingham drag”, Gabe discovered baking after watching the very first series of Bake Off aged 13. Their baking style is “gorgeous but very homemade”, with a preference for savoury, meat-filled bakes and an obsession with meringue. Raised in Grimsby, “the home of fish and chips and zero gay bars”, they now live in the West Midlands with partners Ellis and Tyler, and their two sausage dogs, Dill and Sage. An all-round creative and self-proclaimed “professional nuisance”, Gabe produces theatre shows and performs as their drag persona, Blü Romantic. They are also a costume designer and once made a wedding dress for their best friend. At home, they’re a keen gardener, crafter and dinner party host."
