Martha and Lisa both live in Primrose Hill, North London. Martha has two daughters and Lisa has two sons. They met when their children went to nursery school together. Lisa is originally from New Zealand but settled in London twenty-one years ago. They set up Primrose Bakery seven years ago in Lisa's home kitchen. Lisa previously worked as a costume designer for films and Martha worked in publishing.

The Primrose Bakery is a way of life. From croissants for breakfast to layer cakes at tea, it has the whole day covered. And of course their signature buttercream cupcakes are delicious any time of day! 
 
With over 80 inspirational and easy-to-follow recipes for cupcakes, layer cakes, biscuits, loaves and much more, as well as tips like perfect icing, The Primrose Bakery Book is a baking bible. It is also a gorgeously quirky window onto the very special day-to-day world of the Primrose Bakery.
