Nelly

Job: Palliative Care Assistant

Key Quote: "Haha there is not much strength in my baking…. I am sure they chose me by mistake haha… but I think generally in my life my strength is my joy… joy of life and I take everything in my life as it comes and turn it to something positive. So if a cake goes wrong I will improvise and always fix it somehow. Buttercream is a great invention! My weakness is decorations and finesse… I have never been very good In those areas."


Great British Baking Show Season 15


Alongside her busy job in night-time palliative care, Nelly is a devoted mum to two young boys, who, with her husband Farhan, are the biggest fans of her bakes. Nelly grew up with her dad in Slovakia, then moved to Austria to study nursing. Her dad loved to bake bread, but wasn’t keen on sweet baking, so it was only as an adult, after she had attempted a neighbour’s gingerbread recipe, that Nelly extended her skills. Completely self-taught, Nelly loves adding the flavours of Slovakian cuisine into her bakes, as well as spices representing her husband’s Pakistani heritage – apple and cinnamon are among her favourite ingredients. Nelly indulges her creative talents making jewellery, and is a big fan of true crime.
