The 22-year-old from Essex would bake cakes and make pasta with his mum and sister back when he was a child, but he wanted more kit.

He said: "I begged her, begged her for like a Christmas present and she was like 'you're not going to use it, you're not going to use it' and I told her 'I promise you I'm going to use this thing'."

Odeniran then taught himself further using online videos and learned to make macarons by the time he was 14.
