Biographical Note: Author, baker, and television personality Helena Garcia was born in Spain. Due to her father's job, Helena lived in several cities across Spain, Madrid, Barcelona, Valladolid, and The Canary Islands before finishing high school in Las Vegas, Nevada. After graduation, she moved back home to Spain to study psychology at University of Salamanca. Through the EU's study-abroad program, Erasmus, she finished her degree at Leeds University in West Yorkshire, England. After working in several industries, she went back to school to study interior design with the goal of establishing a career in a creative setting. This path led to an opportunity for Helena to take over a beautiful Victorian apothecary, where she developed her own brand of fashion accessories and oddities. Helena was one of the 2019 Great British Bake Off (also known as The Great British Baking Show) contestants, winning the hearts of the nation with her eccentric style, spooky approach, and fun-loving personality. She has also appeared in several television shows, including the hit series What We Do in the Shadows, and she continues to write for national and international publications. Obsessed with anything witchy, Helena's self-published book, Introduction to Witchery: A Magical Guide for Witches that Craft, is a go-to guide for crafty witches that covers a bit of history of witchcraft in Britain, a guide to magical plants, and plenty of craft projects and recipes to help you live like every day is Halloween. Her second book, The Wicked Baker, was released in 2020, followed by The Witch-Crafting Handbook in 2021 and The Book of Gingerbread in2023. Her first picture book, My Mummy, was also published in 2023. Helena lives in Yorkshire with husband Will, daughter Flora, and rescue wolf-dog Kato.
